The modern day Physiotherapist works across most fields of medicine, using the latest technology to help you return to full fitness fast.

Individual Treatment Programmes

Specialist Physiotherapists possess a wealth of knowledge to provide you with individually tailored treatment programmes. We are all different and hence no two peoples injuries/problems are the same.

For this reason you will be allocated at least one hour for your initial consultation to allow your Physiotherapy Specialist to fully examine you and work out the most appropriate treatments for you.

Symptoms include:

• Sports Injuries • Acute or chronic joint pain • Back pain • Neck pain • Joint stiffness or poor mobility • Joint replacements • Arthritis • Work-related injuries • Reconstructive orthopaedic surgery • Postural dysfunction • Knee and foot surgery • Old recurrent injuries

Treatment options

When you mention the word ‘Physiotherapist’ most people think of massage and exercise. In fact there are many ways in which a Physiotherapist can treat injuries from sophisticated electrical devices, to detailed biomechanical analysis, to specific muscle re-training programs.

We use the latest in electrotherapy treatments such as Ultrasound, Laser therapy, T.N.S. machines as well as muscle stimulation and pain relieving treatments.

Exercise programs -Individually tailored exercise programs used to strengthen, balance and re-train muscles after injury or surgery.

The Spinal Rehabilitation Programme is a specific exercise regime for low back pain sufferers – see Low Back Pain section.

Spinal Manipulation –many spinal conditions respond well to manipulation. This is best performed in the first few weeks.

Acupuncture –now widely accepted as an effective treatment for pain. Many long term pain problems can be helped by acupuncture.

Biomechanical Analysis –many ankle, knee, hip and low back problems stem from abnormal foot mechanicals. These may benefit from lower limb biomechanical analysis and Orthotic (special insoles) provision.

Ergonomic analysis – all too often we find that incorrect work posture and workstations are causing over use and spinal injuries. For many people correction of the work environment is sufficient to cure a long-standing problem, which has been helped simply by trying to treat the injured area.
