Frequently Asked Questions
What is Physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy is about creating an impact on your symptoms so you can get back to normal life. I will seek to understand your symptoms so that I can create a working diagnosis and a plan to effectively treat and resolve your issues.
Can these simple exercises really be helpful?
Yes, absolutely. Think of the exercises like a way of communicating with your own body in a language it understands. You’re saying “hello, please come and fix me” when you do an exercise that correctly targets your injury. Over time, your body does the healing, in response to the stimulus.
What happens during a physiotherapy session?
The goal is to fix your problem and the most effective way to do that is with clear, concise testing based on the symptoms you describe and then exercises targeted on what we find, so we will always start with a thorough Q&A about your problem and use that to inform objective testing. Often I will also perform more hands on techniques such as massage, joint mobilisations, frictions and partner stretches, but I will always pick the treatment technique that is the most effective way to resolve your problem, in the time we have available
How can I book my next physiotherapy session?
The easiest way is to use this scheduler or you can purchase sessions and I will contact you to arrange a time on my services page
How do i know if physiotherapy is right for me?
Feel free to contact me and we can talk about your symptoms and whether or not I think that physiotherapy is the right thing for you. It is not always possible to know if a person will respond to physiotherapy, however if we work together and I’m unable to resolve your symptoms, I will use my clinical experience to help guide you in the right direction.
Can physiotherapy help with my work-related pain?
Yes, absolutely. Even if the solution is staring you in the face, sometimes it takes an experienced eye to see it, I will be that eye.
Can physiotherapy help with my sports injury?
Yes, absolutely. I’m very physically active in my own personal life so i know how distressing it can be to be restricted from the sports or exercise you love. Physiotherapy can absolutely get you back on track and I will work to get you stronger and better than you were pre injury.
