Physiotherapists treat injury and pain by correcting and improving the body’s own natural healing mechanisms. Assisting people of all ages and social groups, from the non-competitive to the elite sportsman, maintain and prevent injury or simply to alter a lifestyle to ensure better posture and health.
With the use of skilled scientific assessments of joints, muscles, ligaments, fascia and neural tissues, physiotherapists are able to identify the dysfunction and then treat it appropriately using a variety of techniques.
