Assessment includes a health-related interview and discussion of your main concerns. You will then be asked to perform certain movements so the Physiotherapist can see if your movement is restricted and test your muscles and joints. You may be asked to remove some of your outer clothing as clear observation is very important. Please let your Physiotherapist know if this makes you feel uncomfortable.
Physiotherapy is very 'hands on' and your Physiotherapist will also probe the area of concern with their hands to feel the soft tissues and movement of the joints where appropriate.
Treatment may include heat therapy, massage, joint mobilising and manipulation, stretches, ultrasound, strapping/taping and nerve mobilising. Treatment will always include exercise prescription and advice about self care. This may include advice about heat or cold therapy, postural and positioning advice and work related or sports specific advice and rehabilitation.
We believe in educating our clients so they may learn how best to look after their bodies. This helps to maintain function and prevent recurrence of problems.
