Keep on Moving

Modern life

We live in a strange day and age where most of us are constantly on the move, yet spend a lot of time sat down. This combination can result in aches, pains and injuries, which we simply don’t have time for. Sedentary jobs and other lifestyle factors are causing a variety of symptoms and conditions to rise throughout society; fortunately, there are ways to prevent them.

 

Other factors

As we age, we become more prone to health issues. These come in many shapes and sizes, like arthritis, COPD, heart problems, stroke, type 2 diabetes and Parkinson’s disease, which cause pain and reduce mobility. Most people don’t realise that physiotherapy and lifestyle changes can improve many long-term and age-related health problems, and we’re always ready to help.

Many people also come to us with sports-related issues and injuries resulting from accidents. Maybe you took a heavy tumble during a game of football, tripped while running, were a victim of a car crash or simply slipped on the stairs; whatever the case, our physiotherapists are here for you.

As well as aches, injuries, fitness and nutrition, below are some of the short-term and long-term conditions our physiotherapists can help you with.

  • Stroke
  • Breast cancer
  • Muscular dystrophy
  • Cerebral palsy
  • Parkinson’s disease
  • Cystic fibrosis
  • Degenerative ataxia
  • Facial nerve palsy
  • Lymphedema
  • Carpel tunnel syndrome
  • Down Syndrome
  • Arthritis
  • Neck and back pain
  • COPD
  • Spinal stenosis
  • Torticollis

 

How exactly will physiotherapy help? 

Our physiotherapists will discuss your health situation before recommending tailored plans to benefit you on a personal level. This could include one or multiple suggestions, such as:

  • Walking
  • Balance exercises
  • Strength training
  • Manual therapy or massage
  • Practicing proper posture
  • Using heat, ice or electrical stimulation for muscle repair
  • Education on the proper use of walking aids, such as canes or walkers
  • Lifestyle changes

 

A personal service

In the same way that a sports injury may require different treatment to long-term back problems, the advice that we give to young people is often different from that we give to the elderly. By sitting down and getting to know you first, we can work out exactly what it is that will help you both now and in the future. 

We also recommend that you stay in touch with one of our physiotherapists, as that way they can help anytime you have a problem or require advice on everything from fitness routines to breathing exercises.
