Our Physiotherapy Service
We treat a variety of conditions at Physio Art ranging from acute sprains to ongoing back pain. A physiotherapy session will typically involve the following; We allow up to an hour for your first assessment*, this includes a full assessment and initial treatment too. The aim of this first session is for us to identify the exact nature of your injury or pain, work out the possible underlying causes, and then decide on a plan of action that is going to suit you and your lifestyle.
The assessment starts with a discussion so you can tell us about the history of your problem; it’s behaviour presently and how it makes you feel. We then do a physical assessment that usually involves having a look at your movement as well as doing some specific tests. People often like to bring shorts and vests tops for this. By the end of this first session we aim for you to fully understand your injury or pain so that you can start to take part in it’s treatment. (*45 min session for insurance)

Treatment
Towards the end of the first session we will discuss with you the options regarding a management plan and then get started on your treatment. Often musculo-skeletal dysfunction, pain and injury occur as a result of problems with the way we move. Imbalances in the muscular system can put stress on the body, which then starts to cause pain.
Exercise
Inevitably an exercise programme will form a big part of your physiotherapy treatment. We are specifically trained in the prescription of exercise therapy to address any biomechanical issue or muscle imbalance you may have that is having a direct impact on your injury or pain.
Acupuncture
To help treat your pain so that you can complete your exercise programme
Manual Therapy
Including sports massage, joint mobilisation and manipulation
Sometimes we just talk…
Often addressing lifestyle issues, barriers to overcoming pain, fears and negative beliefs associated with your injury, or making changes to work/training habits is all that is needed to enable you to take a positive step towards overcome your injury or pain.

Who can benefit
Almost anyone can benefit from a physiotherapy assessment. We treat a wide range of ages and currently our youngest patient is 9 and our oldest is 85. Whether it be a shoulder niggle on the golf course, a sore knee after tennis, grumbling neck pain, or acute back pain we have the skills to assess, treat and manage your problem.
We see some people who don’t have pain and who are just keen to improve their performance – either in the playing field or at work. Rather like taking your car for an MOT we can do a full body check to make sure everything is working as it should. This may help prevent pain from looming later on.
