A physiotherapist is a highly trained health professional who works with you to identify and maximise your ability to move and function whilst considering your body as a whole.
As a new patient, a physiotherapist will take your health history and carry out a physical examination. Your physiotherapist will then develop a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs to ease pain and promote recovery.
They use a variety of techniques to alleviate pain and restore normal functionality of physical problems caused by injury, illness, disease and ageing. They can also help lessen the effects of any dysfunction and manage pain if you have a long-term health condition and disability.
The main approaches a physiotherapist will use are: education and advice such as posture and carrying techniques, movement and exercise for improved health, mobility and to build strength in specific body areas and, manual therapy which involves using their hands to encourage better movement and to help relieve pain and stiffness.
The Physio team at Clifton Park Hospital offer a comprehensive range of physiotherapy services for their patients. These include:
Shockwave therapy is used to treat specific areas of tendon-related pain using impulses of energy delivered through a hand-held device through your skin. It increases blood flow to the affected area, stimulates cell regeneration, reduces inflammation, improves mobility and generates pain relief.
