Physiotherapy

Physiotherapists treat a variety of musculoskeletal dysfunctions:

Back and Neck Pain
Back pain, neck pain and sciatica are common problems that Physiotherapists encounter. The causes of these conditions include bad posture, falling asleep in an awkward position, back strains from lifting and twisting or sports related injuries. Leg or arm tingling, numbness and aching are often associated with spinal dysfunction.

Headaches
Headaches due to stress, tension or injury are another commonly treated problem. The upper spine and associated muscles can become tight and dysfunctional, resulting in headaches. Poor posture is another major cause.

Sports Injuries
Sports people treated can vary from a child playing football at school, to an elderly recreational runner or even a professional athlete. Untreated sports injuries can lead to long term weakness and recurrence. They may be quickly and effectively remedied with Physiotherapy. A team approach involving the athlete, coach and parents (for the young athlete) is important when setting out an exercise rehabilitation program.

Advice will be given for prevention of future occurrences. Common sports injuries treated include knee ligament problems, ankle ligament sprains, muscular strains, tennis elbow, overuse injuries, groin pain, hip pain, and tendonitis.
