Physiotherapy

Many people wrongly believe that physiotherapy is only for people who are suffering from neck and back (musculoskeletal) issues and it involves massage only. This is not the case, physiotherapists treat a very wide range of conditions and have an array of treatment techniques at their disposal. Afterassessingthe problem, we will provide you with the best course of treatment.

What is physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy helps to restore movement and function when someone is affected by injury, illness or disability.  It can also help to reduce risk of injury or illness in future.  Using a holistic approach, it involves the patient directly in their own care.

The terms “physiotherapy” and “physical therapy” are often used interchangeably because they mean the same thing, as do the terms “physio”, “physical therapist” and “physiotherapist”.

Physiotherapists are trained to understand how the body works. As such, they have hands-on skills in assessing, diagnosing and treating symptoms of various illnesses, injuries and disabilities. Part of the treatment includes rehabilitation and the prevention of injury, as well the promotion of health and fitness of an individual. At times, they work with other healthcare professionals to help a patient get back to health.

Physiotherapists can also give general advice about things that affect your daily life, such as posture and correct lifting or carrying techniques and may recommend exercises to improve general health and mobility or to strengthen specific parts of the body.

Physiotherapy works in many ways

If you are having serious problems with mobility due to troubled joints, then you should come and see us as soon as possible. Physiotherapy is also recommended for all forms of muscular and joint problems, repetitive strain injuries, work-related injuries, biomechanical issues, postural conditions, arthritis, falls, fractures, pre and post-operative conditions  and issues relating to occupational health and women’ health.

A few sessions with a professional physio can help you become stronger and more flexible, improve movement and mobility and prevent injury. Physiotherapy may also help you avoid surgery and reduce the amount of medication you are taking. It is, therefore a very cost-effective treatment.
