Physiotherapy - 'movement for life'
How can Physiotherapy help me?
Physiotherapists use manual therapy and exercises to restore and maintain physical function of the body's joints, muscles and ligaments using a variety of manual techniques and specially designed exercises.
What happens on my first visit?
At your first visit, a full case history and examination of the painful and related areas will be performed. A diagnosis is made and the cause of the problem identified and explain to you fully. The treatment plan designed specifically for your condition will then also be discussed.
