How We Work

Treatment will be based on the latest evidence based research (i.e. Independent research to prove that physiotherapy works) and using the latest equipment e.g., ultrasound, electromyography (muscle activity) units etc.

Treatment will usually be a combination of the following:

• Mobilisations/ Manipulation (to reduce pain and stiffness)
• Electrotherapy e.g. ultrasound (to decrease pain and speed up the healing process).
• Exercises ( strength, stretching and muscle balance mainly) specific to your individual needs.
• Acupuncture (very effective to control pain and therefore speed recovery and avoiding the long term use of pain killers).
• Postural advice for work and home (it is common that simple adjustments can solve problems)
• Advice on lifestyle and stress management
• Sports massage also available for pre or post sport activity to increase performance and decrease muscle soreness.

Once the treatment has solved your initial problem you will be provided with an exercise programme to prevent the reoccurrence of the problem (which is very common) and therefore this will be addressed as it is often neglected.

Your First Visit

Before any treatment a full assessment will be completed. This will include taking a full medical history followed by a thorough subjective and physical examination of your problem.

After this assessment a diagnoses will be given and explained to you. Then an effective treatment plan will be developed. This will take into account your lifestyle, leisure activities and general health.

Therefore this will be individually tailored to suit your needs. This session will take approximately one hour (including treatment).
