What to expect: Modern physiotherapy is all about encouraging the body’s own optimal, natural healing. An extensive medical knowledge of the body’s structure, function and mechanics is the basis for accurate assessment, diagnosis and treatment of your problem. Once the source and cause of pain or dysfunction is clearly established, a variety of predominantly “hands on” treatment techniques can be used to relieve pain, restore joint movement, and lengthen tight muscles. “Sorting the cause” is paramount to this treatment approach, and skilled exercise prescription is used to strengthen weak muscles and improve core stability as appropriate. Education also plays a primary role, to ensure that you understand what’s wrong, and what you can do to prevent further problems and stay pain free! More serious problems requiring investigation or specialist review are identified accurately and early by a therapist with a sound medical background.
