Pain, stiffness and discomfort may be some of the symptoms you are experiencing when you visit us and your therapist will ask you a series of questions related to your problems, work and activities to help diagnose your current problem. A detailed physical examination will follow. Your therapist will explain the diagnosis and help you understand what’s wrong. The physiotherapist will work with you to develop a treatment plan that takes into account your lifestyle, leisure activities, and general health. This will include advice on how you can help yourself; for example, you may be shown exercises that you can do between treatment sessions. Where appropriate, physiotherapists also advise carers how they can help. Throughout the treatment or re-training program, the physiotherapist evaluates your progress at regular intervals, modifying treatment and goals when necessary. In addition, your physiotherapist will also work with you to empower and to help you learn to manage your condition independently for the longer term. Treatment will start immediately and your first visit will take approximately one hour and any subsequent treatment will take from forty minutes to one hour depending to the chronicity & complexity of your problem. We take a progressive and holistic approach to the treatment of pain by assessing your issues, looking beyond your problem and developing a plan of action.
