Physiotherapy
A Physiotherapist is a primary healthcare professional that uses a standardised range of scientifically based assessment and treatment techniques in order to decrease pain, increase movement and therefore facilitate an early return to everyday activities.
Physiotherapists work in a wide variety of health settings such as outpatient physiotherapy clinics such as Health Plus Clinics, NHS hospitals, Private hospitals, medical and orthopaedic wards, stroke recovery unit, care of the elderly and occupational health.
At Health Plus we provide specialised treatment for all muscle and joint problems including sports injuries. We ensure that your problem is treated by a physiotherapist with a specific expertise and knowledge of the injured area. Our practice has close links with Orthopaedic Consultants and is medical insurance approved so you can rest assured that you will receive excellent treatment.
Due to the demanding lifestyle of today’s modern society, an increasing number of people are suffering from muscular and skeletal problems as a result of poor posture, recreation and poorly designed work stations. Many people are also affected by painful conditions and suffer continuously while trying to carry out their daily tasks. They become trapped in a vicious cycle of pain and reduced function. With the help, advice and EARLY therapeutic intervention of your physiotherapist, you may be able to relieve your pain and prevent long-term disability.
