What is Physiotherapy?

Consisting of three main elements, Massage, Joint Manipulation, Electrotherapy and exercise therapy. Treatment is aimed at rehabilitating the patient by reducing pain and swelling and restoring normal movement following an injury or long illness. Joint Manipulation or re-mobilisation as it is now called is perhaps the image most associated with traditional physiotherapy. Electrotherapy is the latest modality to be added to the Physiotherapists armoury.

Massage is now unfortunately, being used less and less by physiotherapists because it is highly labour intensive and time consuming. It continues to have a place here at the Centre because of the benefits it brings. It instils feelings of confidence and well being in the patient, it has the direct therapeutic effect of muscle relaxation (or stimulation) and is an ideal preparation for and complement or supplement to a second modality.
