physiotherapy

Physiotherapy helps the client perform daily living tasks and enables them to develop the skills they need to live independent, satisfying, and productive lives. Physiotherapy is concerned with human function and movement and can address such problems as pain, muscle weakness, joint stiffness and damage to the nervous system, all of which can make it difficult to walk.

The physiotherapist will assess and identify a patient’s difficulties and needs and arrange a tailored rehabilitation programme. This can include activities to strengthen muscles, develop coordination and balance, increase the range of movement, relieve pain and help the patient get back on their feet.
