What do physiotherapists do?

Prior to any treatment a full assessment will be done to reach a diagnosis of your problem.

A treatment plan wil be decided upon involving you, your lifestyle, and general activities in order that an understanding is reached as to how the injury happened and how to prevent it in the future.

Treatment methods vary but may include, for instance:

• manual therapy (mobilisation, manipulation, massage, stretches)
• electrotherapy
• exercise regimes
• correction of poor posture, lifting techniques or faulty sporting techniques
• heat and ice and hydrotherapy (pool based therapeutic exercise)
