Treatments
Six ways physiotherapists work, explained honestly. Which of them your plan uses depends on your assessment, not on a menu.
Manual therapy
Hands-on treatment: mobilisation, manipulation and targeted massage for joints and soft tissue.
Exercise therapy
Structured, individualised movement programs: the backbone of most rehabilitation plans.
Hydrotherapy
Guided exercise in warm water, where buoyancy takes the load off painful joints.
Electrotherapy
Controlled electrical stimulation such as TENS, used alongside other treatment for pain management.
Heat and cold therapy
Thermotherapy and cryotherapy: simple, well-established tools for pain and swelling, applied properly.
Education and advice
Understanding your condition and how to move, lift and sit is treatment too, and it lasts longest.
Not sure which applies to you? That is what the assessment is for: request an appointment and describe the problem in your own words.
