| What is Physiotherapy?
Human movement is central to the health and wellbeing of individuals.
Physiotherapy is a dynamic profession dealing with human movement
and is concerned with diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal
injuries and aims to identify and maximise human movement and function
through health promotion, injury prevention, treatment and rehabilitation.

Your First Visit
During your initial consultation with a physiotherapist, you will
undergo a full assessment. This will begin by taking details of
your medical history, previous injuries, occupation, recreational
activities as well as details of your current problem.
An appropriate physical examination will be carried out after
you have given consent. Your physiotherapist will discuss the examination
findings with you and we will then discuss treatment options and
plan a treatment programme.
Please bring with you any hospital notes, correspondence, referral
letters, x-rays, scans and results of any investigations you have
had in the past.
