WHY CHOOSE PHYSIOTHERAPY?
The aims of physiotherapy are to:
- help alleviate pain
- restore normal movement
- facilitate functional independence
- help return the body to its natural balanced state without chemical intervention
Physiotherapists will not only treat the problem: by spending time with the patient the therapist will often be able to show the patient how to help prevent the problem recurring.
At Active-Physio we use a number of different treatment approaches. These may include:
- manipulation and mobilization
- massage
- hydrotherapy
- specific exercise and rehabilitation programmes
- electrotherapy (e.g. ultrasound)
- acupuncture for pain relief
Active-Physio is able to provide:
- walking aids
- joint splints and supports
- simple orthotics
- taping supplies
- T.E.N.S (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) units – for pain relief
