Physiotherapy services

Physiotherapy services work with patients to help them to lead the most active, independent life possible, providing recommendations for the ongoing management of their condition.

Physiotherapists help and treat patients who have physical problems caused by illness, accident or ageing. They use their expertise and skills in pain relief, movement and manipulation to treat, rehabilitate and re-educate patients.

Their core skills include manual therapy (such as massage and manipulation), therapeutic exercise and other techniques such as Ultrasound, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), and the application of heat or cold to an injured area. Physiotherapists also understand the psychological, cultural and social factors that may influence their patients and aim to work with them accordingly.
