At initial assessment, we aim to identify problem areas and biomechanical imbalances in order to produce a problem list and formulate a treatment plan with our patients prior to starting treatment. A range of tests can help to locate the source of the problem and implement the appropriate treatment strategy.
In many cases identifying the causes and predisposing factors, such as poor posture, muscle imbalance and poor working practices, allow interventions to be made to correct them and help to reduce the risk of recurrence.Our physiotherapists can help to get you back to work or sport quickly by providing a progressive and well- planned rehabilitation programme.
We use a variety of physical therapy techniques and modalities to help you achieve your goals. We can give you advice on improving your posture and mobility, reducing joint stiffness and avoiding muscle weakness and wasting. Providing exercises and giving preventative advice throughout your treatment and at discharge, is an essential component of each patient's treatment, aiming to restore function and return you to a healthy active lifestyle.

This is a hands-on treatment approach involving the use of gentle joint mobilisation techniques or manipulation, to improve the range of joint movement, reduce pain and restore normal function.
When combined with massage, stretching, kinesiology taping and exercise therapy, this is effective for all musculoskeletal conditions.
Back pain, sciatica, cervical spondylosis and headaches all respond well to gentle mobilising techniques.
Physiotherapists will feel for injured or swollen tissues during movement analysis to examine how your muscles, tendons and joints are moving and to see whether a muscle is in spasm.

Exercise forms an important part of physiotherapy rehabilitation.
The aim is to increase mobility, muscle strength, general fitness, and build core stability, correct any muscle imbalances and reduce symptoms.
Regular, moderate exercise can help many of the conditions that physiotherapists can treat.
Your physiotherapist will probably introduce a tailored rehabilitation program of graded exercises into your treatment plan as necessary or may recommend classes such as Pilates.
You will also be given self-help advice and if appropriate posture correction and ergonomic advice.
