PHYSIOTHERAPY
Physiotherapy is the diagnosis and treatment of all musculoskeletal problems and/or sports injuries. Treatment incorporates all aspects of health education including acupuncture (dry needling), electrotherapy, mobilization, manipulation and exercise therapy. Acute injuries are assessed and treated to settle immediate symptoms. An individually tailored rehabilitation programme is then formulated with that person’s exercise goals in mind to bring them back to their pre-injury health.
Physiotherapists work closely with other experts in Yoga, Pilates and Personal Training so that you can improve and maintain optimal mobility and core stability specific to your needs. Both Osteopaths and Physiotherapists work together closely and work together closely and will often inter-refer if they feel it would be appropriate.
