Treatment

An accurate diagnosis is the key to good treatment. Our physiotherapists begin by getting a comprehensive history of your injury, then thoroughly assess the relevant body area. Your physiotherapist will then discuss your treatment plan with you, which is then continuously monitored to ensure the best possible outcome. Treatment usually consists of a mixture of hands on treatment combined with rehabilitation exercises for the patient to do at home and/or at work in between sessions.
