WHAT IT CAN DO FOR YOU

Physiotherapists are able to successfully treat a wide variety of muscular and joint problems experienced by most of us at some time. In addition to common sprains and strains, our physiotherapists can treat spinal conditions causing headaches, back pain and sciatica.

Many problems require a muscle balance assessment with specific flexibility and strength exercises to assist postural re-education. All our physiotherapists have post-graduate training in Manipulative Therapy so are able to manipulate joints, where appropriate, to improve further mobility and function.

Therapists with advanced training in acupuncture can provide this approach where appropriate. Pamphlets are available in our waiting room which explain physiotherapy’s role in your rehabilitation from injury.
