Physiotherapy, often referred to as physio, is a profession that uses physical methods, such as massage and manipulation, to promote healing and wellbeing. Physiotherapy treatments are often used to help restore a person’s range of movement following injury or illness.
Whether you have recently suffered an injury, had an injury for a long period of time or would like advice on injury prevention, physiotherapy can help you. Following a thorough assessment a tailored rehabilitation and treatment programme can assist in returning you to an improved level of mobility with a view to aiding full recovery and further advice will be given to reduce the risk of a repeat injury.
Almost all people who have an injury or a physical disability can benefit from having physiotherapy, including children and the elderly.
