We aid both managers and employees during return to work periods, making the transition as safe and smooth as possible.
At your initial consultation our Physiotherapist will take a thorough history of your problem and carry out a detailed orthopaedic/functional assessment to help determine both the most likely cause of your symptoms and the most appropriate treatment. Any questions or concerns can be addressed and our Physiotherapist will advise you on the interventions that are most likely to help, be that manual therapy/manipulation, exercise interventions, further investigations or a combination of all these.
When you attend for any follow up sessions your Physiotherapist will discuss your progress with you and your reaction to the treatment/interventions so far. Following this you will undergo further physical assessment to determine your progress and further treatment in the form of manual therapy/manipulation and exercise interventions, depending on what your Physiotherapist feels is most appropriate. Rehabilitation/exercise programmes can be reviewed and progressed if needed, all with the purpose of helping you on the road to recovery.
Sports massage can be an effective way of relieving general muscular pain and tension or in helping preparation for/recovery from sporting activity. The sessions to not include any specific assessment/diagnosis so if you have a specific injury that you would like assessed we advise booking a Physiotherapy Consultation session instead. However, if you simply require a sports massage then this is s service we can provide. Get in touch to find out more if you have any queries.

At your initial consultation our Specialist Cancer Physiotherapist will take a detailed history of all your cancer treatment and intervention, taking into account specific medications and therapies you may be on. A holistic approach is taken to establish how you are affected by pain, fatigue, dysfunction, anxiety and apprehension. We will set personal goals for treatment and plan how to return you to your desired level of fitness/activity/daily function. Whether you have recently been diagnosed or have long standing issues from a historic diagnosis/intervention our physiotherapist can advise on how to move forward and improve your quality of life.
Follow up sessions will work towards achieving the goals set out in your initial consultation. We will use traditional physiotherapy techniques of manual therapy, massage, acupuncture and exercise therapy with a specialist cancer bias in relation to the problems presented. We will set new goals and monitor progress of existing goals. We will monitor fatigue levels and pain and adapt all treatment accordingly and we can liaise with your personal consultant at any time if you have any issues or concerns. We aim to make your quality of life better and provide you with the confidence to return to your pre-diagnosed levels of activity and function.
