Physiotherapy
What is Physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy is a healthcare profession that assesses, diagnoses, treats and works to prevent disease and disability through physical means. Physiotherapists are experts in movement and function who work in partnership with their patients, helping them to overcome movement disorders, which may have been present from birth, acquired through accident or injury, or are the result of ageing or life changing events, (APA).
How can Physiotherapy help you?

What sort of treatments do Physiotherapists use?
Physiotherapists are trained to assess and diagnose problems and help you understand what may be wrong. Your treatment plan will take into account your lifestyle, activities and health.
All of our Physiotherapists are trained in Grade 5 Osteopathic Spinal Manipulation.
Here are some common treatment modalities that your Physiotherapist may use:
- Joint manipulation and mobilisations
- Muscle re-education
- Soft tissue massage
- Acupuncture
- Taping
- Ultrasound/Interferential
- Rehabilitation exercise programming
A gym based rehab session is used by our Physiotherapists following injury diagnosis. This session aims to facilitate rehab in a high performance gym setting.
Whether returning to your daily routine or elite level sport, having a steady progressive rehab program in place is key in making a safe and efficient recovery.
In addition to this, many injuries will become pain free before they are fully resolved. This means individuals are often left with a strength deficit post injury, leaving them at a higher risk of re-injury.
If you’re looking to prevent injury or working on your rehabilitation. Having physio led rehab program in our state of the art facilities aims to facilitate this process.
What to expect from a Physiotherapy appointment.
All of your consultations will take 30-45 minutes. During your initial assessment your physiotherapist will assess and diagnose
your problem, as well as discuss your
specific goals.
All of this will be based on a combination of questions and physical examination. We aim to also start treatment on our first session, as long as this is deemed appropriate.
We can provide Physiotherapy assessments and treatment if you have private healthcare - get in touch today with your policy information.
