Physiotherapy

Performance is not just for elite sports men and women it is enhancing the ability of all our clients to carry out the functions that are demanded whether they are sporting, professional or as part of day to day to living.

Advanced Back Care & Physiotherapy Clinic designs solutions that go far beyond simply abolishing the pain. We promise to enhance your performance to a level that will exceed your pre-injury status.

Physiotherapy is used for the treatment of musculoskeletal injuries, these include back and neck pain, as well as general aches and pains in the muscles or the joints. Physiotherapy is vital after injury, the sooner you get treatment the quicker you will recover. During the initial inflammatory phase (24-48 hours) physiotherapy treatment modalities will reduce damage caused. After this you must start trying to move the injured area to make sure that the nerve muscle connection is optimised (proprioception). We specialise in back/neck pain as well as sports injuries such as muscle pulls and tears. We also carry out postural and musculoskeletal screening to assess any muscle imbalances which may lead to further injuries.

The initial visit for physiotherapy will involve a 1 hour consultation where the history of your problem is taken, along with a musculoskeletal assessment and a full treatment. The physiotherapist will then tell you what needs to be done to return you to everyday activities or sport. This may include further treatment including manual therapy such as massage, electrotherapy (ultrasound, interferential etc.) acupuncture, manipulation and mobilisation. It could also mean doing rehabilitation exercises in our gym supervised by the physiotherapist.
