What Is Physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy is a health profession concerned with helping to restore well-being to people following injury, pain or disability.

Using knowledge from our extensive scientific background of human anatomy and physiology, Chartered Physiotherapists can help to:

• Assess, diagnose and treat conditions and illnesses that affect people in all ages and social groups.
• Assist a patient to prevent injury in the workplace or on the sports field
• Promote healthier lifestyles for all

Your First Visit:

At your first appointment, we will take a detailed medical history, including how your problem started, and what makes it worse. We will then examine the affected area. After this we explain our findings and discuss with you how we can make a difference to the problem. We then begin treatment.

Your chartered physiotherapist will:

• Ask you some general questions regarding your general health, occupation and hobbies and specific questions relating to your symptoms and how they affect your activities of daily living;
• Assess your condition during a physical examination;
• Make a diagnosis;
• Treat the offending structures accordingly;
• Give a customised exercise programme where appropriate;
• Advise on posture and activities for daily living or return to sport;
• Liaise with other medical professionals e.g. your GP, with your permission, on your condition and progress as necessary.
• Please be aware that the physiotherapist may ask you to undress so that he/she can see the injured area more easily.
• For those with lower limb injuries please bring a pair of shorts.
