What is Physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy is a hands-on treatment that focuses on restoring mobility and function. It is used to treat those with acute (short-term) and chronic (long term) injuries and conditions, as well as those wanting to improve their fitness and strength.
Treatment involves the movement of body systems, including nerves, muscles and joints, to restore function and prevent disability. We provide stretching, strengthening exercises, an exercise program, and advice to avoid further problems. Whether you’re recovering from a car accident, a sports injury, or you’re in chronic pain, we can help to improve your symptoms and get you moving again.
