Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy can be effective in treating both acute (new or recent) and chronic (long established) problems.  Our Physiotherapists are chartered degree educated Health Professionals who can diagnose the painful or limiting condition you have, then help repair damage, accelerate the healing process, reduce pain and stiffness and prevent recurrence.

We can help you restore, maintain and promote health and function through very detailed physical examination, diagnosis, physical intervention, rehabilitation, prognosis, patient education, disease prevention and health promotion.

Your first appointment will last 45 minutes.  During this time YOUR physiotherapist will listen carefully and take note of your account of the injury or painful complaint. A note of your medical history and any other complaints that may be relevant to the affected area will also be made.

Please wear appropriate clothing for your appointment, the Physiotherapist will be required to access the painful area for assessment and treatment purposes. We also require a note of any medication you may be on.

After your assessment your Physiotherapist will then decide on the correct treatment approach for the Diagnosis they have made. Below is a list of some common painful complaints and examples of how the Physiotherapist may treat them.
