Physiotherapy & Sports Therapy
These treatments are not just for those who play sport and are used to treat a range of musculoskeletal injuries. Whether your problem may have started while playing a sport, falling over, having an accident or pain/tension has simply built up from from day to day activities.
Initially your therapist will assess and diagnose the route cause of your complaint or injury and they will then tailor a treatment plan to get you back to feeling your best. Your treatment plan may include, massage therapy, mobilisation, sports taping, rehabilitation and stretching advice.
Massage Therapy

This involves the manual manipulation of soft tissue and muscles through the use of massage. This form of therapy can assist in correcting problems and imbalances in soft tissue caused by injury, repetitive actions or demanding physical activities.
Mobilisation

This is a manual therapy technique which involves movement of specific joints to help restore mobility to stiff or painful joints. This is often used alongside strengthening or stretching to improve recovery.
Sports Taping

Sports taping can be applied to assist with inflammation, recovery from bruising, controlling joint movement and poor posture which can all contribute to pain. It can also help to provide support to a pain producing tissue.
Rehabilitation Program

If required you will be provided with a rehabilitation program from your practitioner. This usually includes stretching or strengthening exercises which your practitioner will go through with you to ensure the correct technique is being used.
Pain Management & Maintenance Treatment

Your practitioner will discuss with you follow up treatments or rehabilitation sessions that may be required moving forward. These are usually for pain management and to ensure any given exercises continue to be of benefit to you. Alongside this you may receive home exercises to complete and aftercare advice.
Re-assessment & Program Updates

Following your initial assessment and treatment you may be asked to book for follow up treatments or later down the line an appointment to complete a re-assessment. This is to ensure you are progressing and to review or update your rehabilitation programme to keep you on track.
