How can Physiotherapy help?

Physiotherapy takes a holistic stance involving you in your treatment every step of the way. The physiotherapist can use all or a combination of the following techniques and treatments to help resolve most problem areas:

• Manual therapy (hands on treatment) including mobilisations of spinal and peripheral joints and soft tissues, to alleviate pain and stiffness
• Soft tissue and myofascial release, to loosen muscles, ligaments and surrounding tissues
• Therapeutic and specific exercises to relieve your symptoms and prevent recurrence of the cause of your symptoms
• Postural re-education to alleviate pain and restore muscle balance
• Taping for support, pain relief and retraining
• Ergonomic advice and assessment

Massage therapy
Massage can help to alleviate pain, restore movement and promote relaxation. It releases tension and stiffness in strained or restricted muscles, ligaments, tendons and soft tissues and is beneficial for overall well-being.

What to expect in your first session?

Assessment:
At your first appointment, your physio will take a thorough history of your problem and ask detailed questions about the behaviour of your symptoms and relevant medical history.

Your physio will then observe, examine and test various movements and structures in order to diagnose your problem and establish the cause of your problem.

After the diagnosis or ‘crux’ of the problem is established, then the most appropriate treatment plan is then devised in collaboration with the client, and tailored to accommodate individual needs, lifestyles and sporting ambitions.

A treatment plan will be discussed with you and implemented to get you back to normal pain-free movement in the shortest possible time and to help prevent the problem occurring again.

Please remember to bring any relevant scans, X-rays or medical reports with you for your first appointment.
