What we Treat

Fractures

Many patients simply don't realise that a fracture can actually be treated from the moment it happens. It is often assumed that you would see your Physiotherapist once you have come out of plaster to get it mobilising. Well, bone is no different in many ways to muscle, tendon or ligaments and we can help to treat those and speed along with the healing, so why not with bone? The treatment of fractures can be done through plaster, is non-invasive and is pain-free. we use a combination of Pulsed Magnetic Field Therapy and Laser Therapy.

Are you suffering with any of the following?

Tennis elbow, Golfers elbow, Achilles tendinitis, Shin splints, Rotator cuff injury?

You will be given a full assessment and treatment and then be advised on what could prevent a recurrence, including exercises and stretches, in order to get you back to your sports as quickly as possible.

Frozen Shoulder

This can be extremely painful and movement can be severely restricted, so early assessments and treatments are key.

Joint Replacement Rehabilitation

We can successfully treat patients who have had any joint replacement. If you have recently had a joint replacement, or indeed are on the list waiting for a replacement, we can help. There is research to support the use of physiotherapy and exercise following joint replacements, but also evidence supporting our input prior to surgery. This will help to minimise any muscle loss in the lead up to surgery, and help to keep pain at bay. If you wish to come after surgery, we will work on a graded exercise programme, pain relief and aim to also reduce joint swelling. Please book a 45 mins or 1 hour Physiotherapy session.
