Specialties
Evidence-based Physiotherapy:
Our aim is to identify the problem, treat it and restore normal function so that you can return to your normal activities. We can treat the following: sports injuries, low back pain, neck pain, headaches, arthritic pain, post-surgical conditions, muscular tears, dislocations and stress fractures.
Exercise Rehabilitation:
We believe exercise rehabilitation underpins the successful recovery for most musculoskeletal problems, such as low back pain and sciatica, shoulder and knee pain, to name a few. It is important that the affected muscles are identified and then rehabilitated. Returning muscles to their pre-injury state will decrease the chances of re-injury and keep you active.
Ergonomic Advice:
Poor workstation ergonomics can lead to overuse injuries, poor posture, headaches and back pain. We can advise you about your working environment and advise you on the correct ergonomic office desk and chair, for your situation. Ergonomics is not just about buying expensive equipment to use for work. Often there are simple solutions that can have a significant impact on your body's ability to cope with your working environment, and we are happy to advise and help make improvements.
