Physical Therapy is a healthcare profession which involves the treatment or management of pain, disability and impaired movement by means of myofascial techniques, joints mobilisations, massage, and rehabilitation exercises.

How it Works:

Assessment of the Problem: Your Therapist will carry out a thorough assessment with you and establish the cause of your problem. He/she will then develop a programme which is personally specific to you and your underlying condition.

Treatment of the Problem

Your Therapist will work with you, using a variety of advanced hands-on manual techniques to treat your problems which often occur in the joints and soft tissues, such as: muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves and fascia. He/she will ensure continual assessment and monitoring of your presenting problem during your treatment.

Identifying the Underlying Causes

In addition to physical assessment, your Therapist will adopt a ‘big-picture approach’ taking into account any work or activity related issues which are contributing to the problem. They will also take into account social and psychological issues contributing to your physical problems.

Preventing Reoccurrence

Your Therapist will work with you to establish a suitable exercise or rehabilitation program to help restore you to full health and reduce risk of reinjury. Your therapist will also work with you to change patterns of activity which have led to the problem in the first place.
