Conditions treated

The Clinic is mainly a 'musculo-skeletal' physiotherapy clinic. This means that we treat injury or damage to bones, joints, ligaments, tendons and muscles. Although we specialise in sports injury it does not matter how you sustained your injury in the first place, we deal with all causes of this type on injury. So if you have a 'whiplash' from a car accident, tore a muscle playing football or hurt your back gardening we can probably help relieve your pain and restore your normal function. Physiotherapy can also help with many arthritic conditions, strengthening the muscles, restoring range of movement and alleviating the pain.

If you have recently had surgery and need help with your recovery we will be able to guide your rehabilitation.

So if you have had an injury to your body, no matter what your age or physical condition we can improve you and in most cases return you to your normal lifestyle.

 

Treatments

Traditionally Physiotherapy involves the use of various physical means to help you get better. No chemicals or medicines are involved. Massage and various body movements called manipulation and mobilisation can be used and exercises are also incorporated to help strengthen and improve the movements of the injured part. Different forms of electro-therapy such as ultra-sound and interferential are used to encourage repair to take place. At this practice acupuncture and relaxation techniques can be included if required. None of the physio treatments are intended to be painful and care is taken to explain what you are likely to feel before treatment commences.

We do not treat neurological, vascular or women's health conditions at this practice.

You may be accompanied by a friend or family member but we prefer you not to bring children with you as they can be distracting and endanger themselves and others.
