You will be fully assessed by a Chartered Physiotherapist and your condition will be discussed with you, including treatment options and the estimated number of treatments which may be required. I will ask you specific questions to ascertain the mechanism of the injury.

There will also be a physical examination at the initial and subsequent sessions testing the anatomical structures surrounding the injured area until I find the injured site. You may be required to undress to your underwear to expose the appropriate part of your body to be treated. You are welcome to wear a pair of shorts and t-shirt instead. Once this has been established and the degree of damage evaluated then the treatment objectives will be discussed. You will also be given a specific programme of exercises tailored to your injury to continue at home. I believe Physiotherapy is a partnership between myself and my Patients, I do my part but for treatment to be fully effective I feel it is essential for my patients to continue at home between sessions to achieve good carry over of treatment.

Appointments last 45 minutes.

You may be accompanied to your treatment sessions if you wish.

Treatment can include advice regarding the present condition and prevention of recurrence. Gentle loosening techniques to the joints performed by the Therapist. Exercises to strengthen and mobilise the joints, muscles and other soft tissue. Electrotherapy modalities such as Ultrasound, Hot packs and Ice.

It is possible to feel some slight soreness post treatment which should pass within a few hours.

If you have a Cardiac Pacemaker please inform me when booking an appointment.
