How can physio help?

Physiotherapy is a tool for enhancing your body's natural ability to heal and to optimise its balance of movement.

Physiotherapy is useful in the acute stages of soft tissue (muscle or ligament) or joint injuries to relieve pain and promote the healing process.

In the sub-acute stages we aim to optimise function and allow more activity without re-injury and in the chronic stages to retrain pain management mechanisms and improve physical fitness. Early treatment often results in earlier recovery, so the quicker you receive treatment, the sooner you will be back on the sports field or returning to your normal daily activities.

Assessment:

The first full physio session you have involves a thorough assessment and diagnosis of your injury/condition followed by some treatment. This is usually 30 minutes. A full history and a thorough examination is conducted. Our therapists find how the problem effects you and what you want the therapy to achieve. Then they give advice on how they can help length of time of the management/process and costs involved.

Therapy:

30 minutes is allowed for follow-up sessions at our physiotherapy clinics to enable them to provide comprehensive and personalised treatment rather than recipe-based treatment. This includes a mixture of manual therapy, manipulation, exercise therapy, and education.

Manual Therapy:

Physiotherapists use hands on approach for massage, muscle stretches and gentle joint manipulation and mobilisation.

These techniques are generally the basis of there treatment. They tend to be the cornerstone of physiotherapy in the United Kingdom.

Manual therapy is not often painful, although can sometimes produce a little discomfort.

Manipulation (or 'clicking') is a specialised skill that some physiotherapists have had additional training in, so are extremely competent to apply such techniques. Some clients prefer not to have manipulation performed on them, which is absolutely fine by us. Consent to any part of our treatment is an individual choice that we respect legally and professionally.

Full time programmes:

The majority of physiotherapy programmes are three or four years of full-time study. Physiotherapy BSc. (Chartered Physiotherapist)
