Physiotherapy can be used for a wide range of conditions.
Physiotherapy is also an integral part of rehabilitation from
injury, or after orthopedic surgery. In addition, we also have the
expertise to offer neurological rehabilitation for conditions such
as Multiple Sclerosis, Strokes and Parkinson’s disease.
What should I expect of a physiotherapy
consultation?
An initial physiotherapy consultation, takes 40 minutes and
involves a full and detailed assessment to identify a diagnosis and
underlying causes. Advice on the condition and a treatment plan is
provided which will include advice on condition management and
resolution of any underlying causes e.g. postural changes, details
of suggested physiotherapy interventions including an exercise
programme where appropriate; and a recovery prognosis. Treatment
will also be included at the first consultation where
indicated.
What type of physiotherapy treatments can you
offer?
We are a very “hands-on” physiotherapy practice and the main
treatments consist of joint mobilisation, manipulation and soft
tissue massage and associated techniques. We use some
electrotherapy treatments where appropriate e.g. Ultrasound. We are
passionate about the importance of exercise therapy and this will
be an integral part of the treatment plan in most cases.
How many sessions am I likely to require?
The number of sessions is dependent on your condition but at the
initial assessment an indication will be provided whenever
possible. The following table gives our average number of
treatments for various body sites over a 3-month period.
