Physiotherapy is an orthodox treatment by a chartered physiotherapist for a wide
range of conditions, including:

Spinal problems – including prolapsed discs, degeneration,
sciatica, lumbago, pain and stiffness

Joint problems – arthritis, frozen shoulder and swollen joints

Muscle and ligament injuries – tennis elbow, golfers elbow, tendonitis and RSI

Sports injuries – ankle injuries, knee problems, muscle imbalance, strains and sprains

Neurological conditions – strokes, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease

Chest conditions – asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disorders

The chartered physiotherapist uses a wide range of skills including manipulation,
mobilisation, massage and exercises as well as electrotherapy techniques.

Physiotherapists will not only treat the problem, but also provide advice on how to
prevent a recurrence.

The physiotherapist will initially make a full assessment in order to
decide with the patient the best course of treatment for them.

Many musculoskeletal problems are work related – caused or made
worse by work. Where required, the treatment session will include
ergonomic advice to help patients manage their condition at
work - avoiding unnecessary sickness absence.
