Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy is a science-based profession taking a ‘whole person’ approach to health and wellbeing, and includes the patient’s lifestyle. At its core is patient involvement in their own care, through education, awareness, empowerment and participation in their treatment.

Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy is a specialised area of physiotherapy treating injuries and conditions which affect the muscles, joints, and soft tissues. Treatment involves an assessment, diagnosis, and then an agreed treatment plan with goal-setting, in order to achieve optimal outcomes. All dependent on patient needs, input can vary from assessment and advice alone to longer-term rehabilitation.
