Physiotherapy
Physiotherapists can treat anything from sports injuries to headaches, from sprained ankles to tennis elbow.
Sometimes treatments are for recent or acute injuries and usually the earlier you see a physiotherapist the easier the injury is to treat.
Physiotherapists are also able to address chronic problems where pain and dysfunction may have been present for weeks or months. Often, treatment progress here is slower but outcomes can still be very effective.
Recurrent problems such as back pain that crops up every few months or a sprained ankle that keeps ‘going over’ can be the most rewarding to treat as reduction or abolition of recurrent problems are particularly satisfying.
Physiotherapists sometimes have to admit that they cannot ‘cure’ every problem they see. Particularly with issues such as chronic pain that has been present for months or years they work as part of a team with other clinicians to help an individual manage their condition in away that maximises their ability to engage with their lives once more.
Physiotherapists often work closely with orthopaedic surgeons to help prepare people so that they are fit and ready for surgery and then work with the same individuals after operations to make sure they areas fit and healthy, as they can be to return to full activity.
Treatments available:
- Mechanical treatments - joint mobilisations, muscle stretching and ligament ‘frictions’
- Electrotherapy treatments such as Ultrasound and TENS machines. These affect the way the body heals and feels pain
- Exercise prescription to help strengthen or stretch the body’s tissues
- Specialised techniques such as dynamic lumbar stabilisation to help reduce the incidence of low back pain
In addition, many physiotherapists use complementary skills such as acupuncture to help with treating a range of issues such as pain and muscle spasm.
