      Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy is the treatment and prevention of injury and disease by natural means. These natural means involve many varied skills gained over several years of extensive recognised training in order to achieve the title of Chartered Physiotherapist. The aim of physiotherapy is to help alleviate pain, restore normal movement and function patterns and help return the body to its natural balanced state without chemical intervention. Physiotherapists employ a wide range of skills to achieve this:- 

   • Electrical treatments 
   • Manipulation 
   • Mobilization 
   • Muscle balancing techniques 
   • Exercise 
   • Hydrotherapy 
   • Rehabilitation 
   • Relaxation
   • Re-education
   • Acupuncture

Physiotherapists have a clinical autonomy and knowledge to decide the best treatment for the patient based on experiential learning, clinical experience and a growing body of research evidence. The research evidence shows that physiotherapy is providing the answers; the combination of diagnostic, treatment and rehabilitation skills enables us to offer patients multi-dimensional approaches to treating conditions and restoring near normal function and movement.
