OUR APPROACH TO PHYSIOTHERAPY TREATMENTS
Our physiotherapists use a range of evidence-based approaches to ensure the best possible treatment outcomes. We believe in a holistic approach, combining hands-on manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, and education to manage your condition.
MANUAL THERAPY
Manual therapy techniques are used to treat muscle and joint conditions, alleviate pain, and improve movement. These techniques may include:
- Massage Therapy: To reduce muscle tension, improve circulation, and reduce pain.
- Mobilisation and Manipulation: Controlled movements and pressure applied to joints to restore normal function.
- Stretching: To improve flexibility and joint movement, particularly in stiff or tight areas.
EXERCISE THERAPY
Exercise is a key part of the rehabilitation process. We prescribe specific exercises to help restore movement, build strength, and prevent future injuries. This can include:
- Core Strengthening: To improve posture and protect the spine.
- Joint Stabilisation Exercises: To strengthen the muscles around the joints and prevent instability.
- Postural Correction Exercises: To address imbalances and reduce muscle strain.
EDUCATION & SELF-MANAGEMENT
We believe that patient education is key to a successful recovery. We provide practical advice on posture, movement techniques, and self-management strategies that allow you to take control of your health and maintain long-term results.
