Personal, friendly service
How your body moves and responds to injuries, surgery, illness and other conditions is unique to you. Our physios work closely with you to observe and understand what’s happening so we can draw on clinical expertise and best practice to provide optimal treatment for your needs.
In an initial consultation, we’ll ask you about:
· Your daily routine, leisure and sporting activities, work and previous medical history, surgery or injuries.
· The current issue, how long it has been affecting you, level of pain, and how it may be impacting your daily life.
· Your movement and fitness goals.
We’ll then develop an individual plan to address any acute or chronic issues. An effective treatment plan may include hands-on treatment as well as home-based exercises, stretches or activities to support healing, build strength and prevent a recurrence.
We are here to help you stay healthy, keep moving and be the best you can be.
