Physiotherapy with Rachel

---

 Physiotherapy combines clinical assessment, treatment and progressive rehabilitation to help identify the cause of your symptoms, restore movement and support your return to everyday activities, work or sport.

You do not need to be an athlete to benefit. Appointments are suitable for anyone experiencing pain, injury, weakness or restricted movement.

 Physiotherapy may be suitable for:

• Sports and training-related injuries
• Muscle, tendon and joint pain
• Back, neck and shoulder problems
• Ongoing or recurring injuries
• Reduced movement, strength or balance
• Rehabilitation following injury or surgery
• Returning to work, exercise or sport
• Everyday pain affecting your independence or activity

Your assessment and treatment will be tailored to your symptoms, circumstances and individual goals.

 Your appointment will begin with a detailed conversation about your symptoms, medical history and how the problem is affecting your daily life or activity.

A physical assessment may then be used to examine your movement, strength and function and help establish a clinical diagnosis.

Your treatment may include:

• Individualised rehabilitation exercises
• Strength and mobility work
• Movement and activity advice
• Hands-on treatment
• Joint mobilisation
• Soft-tissue techniques
• Guidance on managing symptoms and returning to activity

The approach used will depend on your assessment, preferences and stage of recovery.

Physiotherapy aims to help you understand your condition and take an active role in your recovery.

Where appropriate, you will receive a personalised rehabilitation programme designed to improve movement, rebuild strength and gradually increase your ability to manage everyday activities, work, exercise or sport.

Your programme will be realistic, manageable and progressed as your recovery develops.

Choose Physiotherapy if you would like a thorough clinical assessment and diagnosis with an exercise-led rehabilitation plan to improve movement, strength and function.

Choose Sports Therapy if you are looking for assessment and rehabilitation with a greater emphasis on hands on treatment alongside exercise and practical advice.

Both services support recovery from pain and injury. The most suitable option may depend on your preferences and the type of support you are looking for.

If you are unsure which appointment to book, please get in touch and we can help you choose.
