Our Services and Treatments
Our aim is to treat your condition or injury in the
most effective way, using the wide range of treatments available
to relieve pain, encourage recovery and
prevent reoccurrence. All of the conditions we treat are treated
using a functional approach, utilising various techniques
known in the physiotherapy field as the "Normal Movement"
concept.
Diagnosis comes before treatment, and the client
is always assessed first and their primary problems identified.
Treatment is then centred around
the individual components which are causing these difficulties.
A 'component'
for example, may be increased or decreased muscle tone,
muscle weakness,
joint stiffness, sensory or coordination difficulties
and so on.
In our section on treatments we
highlight a number of common ailments, their causes and symptoms.

Common treatments available at our clinic:
Sports injuries:
We treat soft tissues and joint-related sports injuries from any
sports. Typically, this will be from the initial, acute phase, through
to final rehabilitation and full return to fitness.
Back pain:
We treat back pain caused by injury, disc degeneration, arthritic
conditions, post-operative and posture-related pain. Our solutions
range from mobilisations, manipulation, the use of electrical equipment,
acupuncture, deep soft tissue, massage and postural and ergonomic
advice.
Joint and Arthritic pain:
We can treat any joint in the body affected by inflammation, chronic
or acute. This includes trauma, arthritic changes or repetitive
injury such as tendonitis.
Gynaecological problems:
We assess and treat many problems, such as stress incontinence,
pubic symphysis dysfunction and pre- and post-labour complications.
Osteoporosis:
We can assist in the prevention of osteoporosis in young people
prior to the menopause, and exercises for post-menopausal women.
We can also aid in recovery following a bone fracture. Treatments
consist of pain relief, balance exercises and strengthening programmes.
Acupuncture:
We use acupuncture for pain relief from headaches, arthritic pain,
inflammatory pain, sciatica etc. This is often used in conjunction
with other treatment modalities.
Laser treatment:
Laser is used to treat inflammatory problems such as tendonitis
and acute ligament sprain such as ankle or groin strain.
It also helps to break down thickened scar tissue post-operatively
Ultrasound:
This is used to treat inflammation and speed up the healing process. It
is often used in conjunction with other treatments.
Orthotics:
Our specially-trained physios can assess and fit appropriate orthotics,
which are vital in treating problems which are posturally-related,
and often caused by flat feet. Flat feet can also often cause secondary
pain, such as knee pain, hip pain, lower back pain and shin splints.
We also have experience in treating neurological conditions such
as CVAs (Strokes), Parkinsons disease, MS, spinal cord injuries,
head and brain injuries and Progressive Supranuclear Palsy.
