Physiotherapy is the treatment of injury and disease by enhancing the body’s own natural healing mechanisms.
We take a holistic approach, supporting self-management of common conditions and promoting independence. We consider all aspects of the patient’s lifestyle, work and leisure and how we might be able to prevent their condition in the future.
In this way, physiotherapists teach people to help themselves to better health, so whatever your age or condition, physiotherapists are able to get you back to your best
Common treatment options we use are exercise, manual therapy, postural correction and advice.
