About Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy aims to work with you to help your muscles and joints stay mobile.
The physiotherapist will assess your condition, and help you understand what is wrong. They will work with you to develop a treatment plan that takes into account your lifestyle, leisure activities, and general health. This may include advice on how you can help yourself; for example, you may be shown exercises that you can do at home.
Any condition that affects your muscles, joints, or nerves can be helped by physiotherapy. Common problems include:
- Painful conditions such as arthritis;
- Back, neck and shoulder pain;
- Children who have a delay in learning to crawl and walk;
- Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and other breathing difficulties;
- Muscle weakness due to lack of activity or following recent illness/surgery.
Throughout your treatment program, the physiotherapist will check your progress at regular intervals and update your treatment and goals when necessary. Wherever possible your physiotherapist will also work with you to help you learn to manage your condition independently for the longer term.
