About physiotherapy
The aim with physiotherapy is to help you recover movement and overall use of your body. The therapy also aims to help you manage symptoms, improve confidence and develop coping strategies. It’s designed to help you get that normal life back. Like doing a work shift. Spending quality time with family. Getting involved with the community. And overall – recovering that sense of wellbeing.
What can physiotherapy help with?
If you are feeling discomfort – from muscle aches to joint troubles – our physiotherapists can work to combat that discomfort. Our physiotherapists manipulate soft tissue to help you regain that balance, wellness and independence.
It’s designed to help with many different physical conditions, including: digestive problems, knee stiffness, long-term back / neck / shoulder pain, joint pain, lumbago, muscle cramps / spasms, fibromyalgia, neuralgia, minor sports injuries and tensions.
The consultation with our physiotherapists
The initial consultation lasts between 45 minutes to an hour. One of our physiotherapists will first sit down with you, record your health history and goals and assess your mobility. From there, we’ll have an overview of your condition so we can provide a personalised, solution-focused approach to the management of your condition.
You’ll be able to track the progress and effectiveness of your assigned programme. The holistic approach is designed to maximise your quality of life and independence, with all activities and advice backed by the latest sector research.
Each follow-up appointment is 30 minutes and the content of those follow-ups will be based around your own specific needs. We may recommend group-based physical activities and education programmes if we think they’re a good fit for you.
