Physiotherapy

When someone is affected by an injury, sickness, or handicap, physiotherapy can help them regain movement and function. Physiotherapy is a science-based profession that approaches health and wellness from a "whole person" perspective, which encompasses the patient's overall lifestyle. The patient's involvement in their own care, through education, awareness, empowerment, and participation in their treatment, is at the heart of the process.

Physiotherapy can help you at any stage of your life. Physiotherapy aids in the treatment of back pain or a sudden injury, as well as the management of long-term medical conditions like asthma and the preparation for childbirth or a sporting event.

We use our knowledge and skills to improve a range of conditions associated with different systems of the body, such as:

• Neurological (stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's)

• Neuromusculoskeletal (back pain, whiplash associated disorder, sports injuries, arthritis)

• Cardiovascular (chronic heart disease, rehabilitation after heart attack)

• Respiratory (asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cystic fibrosis)

• Physiotherapists work in a variety of specialisms in health and social care. Additionally, some physiotherapists are involved in education, research and service management.
