Physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy is a discipline that helps restore movement and function when someone is affected by injury, illness or disability, this means we get things moving when restrictions are creating pain and immobility.

Physiotherapists utilise modules such  movement and exercise, manual therapy, education and advice.

Physio’s  maintain health for people of all ages, helping patients to manage pain and prevent disease.

As a practise physiotherapy helps to encourage development and facilitate recovery, enabling people to stay in work while helping them remain independent for as long as possible.

Physiotherapy is a science-based profession and takes a ‘whole person’ approach to health and wellbeing, which includes the patient’s general lifestyle.

At the core is the patient’s involvement in their own care, through education, awareness, empowerment and participation in their treatment.

You can benefit from physiotherapy at any time in your life. Physiotherapy helps with back pain or sudden injury, managing long-term injuries  or helping to support at sporting event.
