Physiotherapy

---

At Acuphysio, you will receive expert, dedicated care aiming to diagnose, treat and manage your problem, all delivered in a friendly and relaxed way. 

You will receive a thorough assessment where you be asked questions about your problem, your medical history will be taken and a physical examination conducted. 

Treatment will commence on your first appointment and you will often be given exercises and advice to compliment the treatment provided in clinic.

Physiotherapists are manual therapists who treat and rehabilitate all kinds of injuries. Techniques such as joint and spinal mobilisations and manipulations, stretching and soft tissue mobilisations are used to help restore movement and alleviate pain. 

Physio aims to improve joint mobility, muscle flexibility and strengthen weak muscles or imbalances. Rehabilitation exercises are often prescribed, customised to every patient.

Electrotherapy devices such as therapeutic ultrasound may be used or taping and strapping techniques may be beneficial.

Every patient is treated individually and methods will be adapted for each individual.

Every patient and every injury is different. Sometimes one session is enough to diagnose, reassure and get you going, for others, a course of treatment is recommended. If your problem has not improved as expected after 3 sessions, the therapy will be reviewed and recommendations for another specialist or investigations will be discussed.

• "I would highly recommend Kate to anyone needing physio."

• "I had my initial assessment this week in a lovely clean and safe environment in these times of Covid. Kate was friendly, thorough and knowledgeable."

• "Kate is amazing. After being told to go home and rest when my foot diagnosis came through I didn't think there was anything that could be done to hep with the osteonecrosis in my foot but Kate has worked miracles. Not only did she get me walking without a crutch again, Kate also helped me alleviate pain from plantarfaciitis and a torn tendon in my ankle, Even during lockdown Kate was helping with online video calls and encouraging mobility through gentle exercises."

• "I can highly recommend Kate at Acuphysio, she got me back to fitness after a break in my pelvis. 5 star service."

• "Thank you very much for sorting me out over the two sessions. After two weeks of trying to 'cure' myself you have restored me 'back to normal'. I am very grateful.
