Physiotherapy
What is Physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy – following the medical history, examination and the diagnosis the physiotherapist will explain the problem.
In general a physiotherapist treats physical painful conditions and injuries, helping to restore normal movement to any joint of the spine or limbs and repair associated ligaments, muscles and nerves.
Physiotherapy approved by NICE guidelines [National Institute of Clinical Excellence].

Pain in the upper limb, shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand or lower limb hip, knee, ankle and foot; their joint structures, ligaments and muscles can sustain injury which will inevitably lead to pain and reduced movement.
In the case of the spine neck or back, sprained vertebral joints and discs lesions can have the effect of trapping a nerve causing pins and needles and pain in the arms and legs like sciatica.

What does a physiotherapist do?
As a physiotherapist, we are trained anatomy, physiology and diagnosis.
We use postural analysis, mobilisation, soft tissue methods and exercise rehabilitation to help the joints of the upper and lower extremity, shoulder and elbow or hip and knee, which often have associated ligament or muscle damage, with restricted joint movement, which will lead to pain, early ‘wear and tear’ and osteoarthritis.
Physiotherapists use a variety of manual and physical techniques to restore the movement the joints and muscles.
The spinal joints we use specific methods like the McKenzie or Maitland techniques and core strengthening to improve how the vertebra / discs function and release nerves that may be ‘trapped’. Trapped nerves not only cause pain locally, but can also refer it from the neck to the arm and shoulder or from the back to the buttock and legs, remove the strain on ligaments and relieve muscle.
Manual soft tissue treatment are also used alongside acupuncture ,ultrsound laser and kinesio-taping.
How can physiotherapist help me?
Manual therapy mobilisation and manipulation stretch the joint capsule ligaments and muscles making the joint more pliable reducing muscle spasm whilst increasing joint movement and in doing so relieve pain and inflammation. Exercises stabilise and increase over all movement.
