| Welcome to North West Physiotherapy |
If you’re in pain, are recovering from surgery, or you just need some advice….then we are here to assist you.
Our philosophy is to get to the underlying cause of your problem. You become involved in the education of your condition and your treatment plan. Our physiotherapists approach to your problem will involve four phases:
| 1. |
|
Diagnosis |
|
|
We listen carefully to your problems and do specific tests to determine the cause. |
| 2. |
|
Treatment |
|
|
We use a combination of joint mobilizations (not harsh cracking), stretches, soft tissue massage and electrotherapy. (e.g. Ultrasound and TENS)
Computerised gait assessment, hydrotherapy, remedial massage and acupuncture are also available to assist in your recovery. |
| 3. |
|
Home Exercises |
|
|
An individual, simple home program of stretches and strengthening. |
| 4. |
|
Prevention |
|
|
Advice regarding posture, a change of pillow or your work environment. |
