Physiotherapy is a science based profession using a holistic approach to treatment. The combination of manual therapy, movement training, physical and electro physical methods help to achieve a long term answer to the individual’s needs.

The Chartered Physiotherapist carries out a comprehensive assessment of the patient’s problem ensuring a thorough understanding of the condition. The Physiotherapist will listen to the patient describe how the problem affects them enabling a personalised rehabilitation programme to be developed to treat the cause of the pain. This promotes recovery and helps prevent a recurrence of the condition
