Physiotherapy can help improve issues with the bones, joints and soft tissue (e.g. back pain, sports injuries). It can also aid movement problems brought about from brain or nerve trauma including strokes and multiple sclerosis. If you suffer from cystic fibrosis, breathing, and heart and circulation issues, you may also benefit from physiotherapy.

You’ll have an initial consultation before treatment begins to allow your physiotherapist to understand exactly what’s wrong and how best they can help you. During treatment, your physiotherapist might use their hands to relieve pain and improve your body’s movement, give you exercises to strengthen and boost your mobility and health, and make suggestions on changes you can make at home or work to prevent further injury or improve posture.
