Treatment

Physiotherapists have a huge number of treatments at their disposal. This ranges from manual mobilisation, manipulation, exercise, electrotherapy, gym-based rehabilitation, acupuncture, and posture and movement re-education.

We are a hands-on practice, which means that our normal approach would be to mobilise an area using hands-on techniques from massage to manipulation of joints, both spinal and limb, and soft tissue - muscle, ligament, fascia and tendon. This could be supplemented by advice on exercises to help maintain mobility and improve function and strength. We have a software package, Physiotools, which allows us to print off exercises with pictures and detailed descriptions for you to take home to help you perform the exercises correctly. Your treatment may also include some electrotherapy or acupuncture to supplement your body's natural healing processes. We have a range of electrotherapy including ultrasound, interferential, pulsed shortwave and laser. We also have TENS and muscle stimulators for loan or purchase.

Please read through the linked Case Studies to give you a further flavour of the work we do.
