Physical Therapy
Physical Therapy is a mainstream and scientific form of healthcare with a distinct assessment, treatment and management approach in the field of musculoskeletal health. It incorporates a whole-body approach to assess the musculoskeletal system using a wealth of scientific assessment techniques. The client's needs are established within the process of clinical reasoning, by a detailed analysis of findings determined through extensive history-taking and whole-body musculoskeletal assessment. Physical Therapy specialises in the use of palpatory skills, not only in the initial assessment phase but also in continual assessment and monitoring of soft tissues and joint motion during treatment. It integrates a wide variety of advanced soft tissue and articular techniques to effect restoration of optimal, pain-free function.
Each patient is assessed in order to correctly diagnose their strain patterns and posture so that an effective treatment plan can be devised to correct the patient’s imbalances and injuries. Massage, joint mobilisation, muscle energy techniques, electro-therapy and core therapy are all used to promote the body’s own healing process and return the patient to a pain-free state.
Physical Therapy is safe, gentle, effective and suitable for patients of all ages.
