Assessment

The Physiotherapists within the practice base their treatments on a detailed history, with an examination, assessment and analysis of presenting signs and symptoms. This is to ascertain an accurate diagnosis and will be the basis on which treatment decisions will be planned. A continual re-assessment of the problem is made as treatment progresses.

Treatments and Therapies

We favour a hands-on approach which will usually involve massage, mobilisation, neural stretching techniques or manipulative therapy. We actively encourage patient involvement in the management of the condition by promoting an understanding of the problem and practical methods to prevent recurrence.

To compliment our manual therapy we have equipped the practice with up to date therapeutic appliances including ultra-sound, interferential, short-wave diathermy, electro-magnetic energy, laser, T.E.N.S and traction. The correct code of exercise is an integral part of treatment. Early treatment of acute pathology prevents chronic recurrent problems which are more difficult to handle.

Acupuncture

We are in a unique position as Chartered Physiotherapists to be able to combine these natural treatment methods with acupuncture which is available for the relief of acute and chronic pain, stress related problems and to aid in the cessation of smoking. In addition, we retain the services of a traditionally trained acupuncturist who offers a holistic approach in the treatment of many conditions.
