Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy is the treatment of injury or disease by correcting and maximising the body’s own natural healing mechanisms. Physiotherapists aim to provide accurate assessment and diagnosis of spinal conditions, joint problems and soft tissue / sports injuries.

Chartered Physiotherapists take a three year, full time university degree and receive extensive training in anatomy, physiology and pathology; therefore they have an excellent understanding of how the body works and what happens when things go wrong.

Your initial assessment will include a number of questions about your condition and other related health issues along with a physical examination to determine the nature of your condition and decide upon the most appropriate form of treatment. You may be asked to undress to your underwear so wear something appropriate!

This first assessment may also include some treatment and advice on what you can do at home to help improve your situation.
