What can physiotherapy help with?
You do not need to know exactly what is causing your symptoms before booking. Your physiotherapist will assess your history, symptoms, movement and goals before discussing an appropriate management plan with you.
If you are unsure whether physiotherapy is the right starting point, contact us and we can help you choose the most appropriate service.
What happens at your physiotherapy appointment?
1. Understand the problem
We discuss your symptoms, relevant history, activities and what you want to get back to doing.
2. Clinical assessment
Your physiotherapist assesses relevant movement, strength, mobility and other clinical findings.
3. Treatment and advice
Where appropriate, your appointment may include treatment, exercise, rehabilitation advice and strategies to help manage your symptoms.
4. A clear plan
You leave with an explanation of the findings and an agreed plan for rehabilitation, follow-up or further assessment where appropriate.
Physiotherapy supported by biomechanics when it adds value
Most physiotherapy begins with a clinical assessment. In some cases, additional movement information can help us understand walking, loading or balance in greater detail.
PhysAnalytica can use pressure-mat gait and balance analysis alongside physiotherapy where the clinician considers it useful. This provides objective movement information to support clinical reasoning rather than replace clinical assessment.
Objective information about how pressure is distributed through the feet during standing and walking.
Additional information about walking patterns and left-to-right differences.
Objective measurement of balance and centre-of-pressure behaviour.
Arrange an assessment with our physiotherapy and biomechanics team.
