What is Physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy is the use of many treatments/inputs that help patients with a multitude of issues such as pain relief, healing and rehabilitation of injury, medical and surgical conditions. Physiotherapy usually addresses pain/injury through methods such as; hands on treatment, massage, advice and education, exercise prescription, posture correction, joint manipulation, biomechanical and gait analysis and much more.

No, we are medical professionals though, who are chartered, regulated and specialised within the world of musculoskeletal injury. Physiotherapists are also able to make referrals, send patients for scans and do injections, so often are the first port of call of muscle and joint pain rather than your GP for example.

Not Jezzie deep tissue massages and also showing me correct ways to exercise to ensure that the injury did not occur again. Thank you so much you have no idea on how much you have helped me.
