WHY PHYSIO? . . . The old and the new

Chartered Physiotherapists are experts in anatomy and human movement, from the way we move our backs and limbs to the way we breathe. Using that knowledge, physiotherapists identify the cause of pain or injury – whether it is a result of sports, an accident or general wear and tear – and devise a programme of treatment taking into account previous medical history, work and lifestyle.

This treatment may involve the latest state-of-the-art electrotherapy equipment or a 3,000-year-old technique like acupuncture, depending on the patient’s individual needs.

We encourage goal-setting and the patient’s active participation in the progress of their condition because promoting a healthier and pain-free future lifestyle is a key component of all physiotherapy.
