Pain relief
Pain has a significant impact on our mental as well as physical well-being, and its relief is a key element in treating a wide range of conditions from fractures and back pain to diseases such as arthritis and osteoporosis. After assessing your particular problem, the Physiotherapist will draw on a wide range of techniques and can diagnose the cause of your pain with specific examination and testing.
Mobilisation (see Manipulation and Mobilisation) of joints can help to reduce pain and stiffness while massage relieves tension and is a powerful form of relaxation. Heat therapy and Cold Therapy can also help to reduce inflammation as well as offering pain relief. The Physiotherapist may also use a form of electrotherapy to speed up healing and relieve pain. Other types of treatment include acupuncture and relaxation techniques such as breathing exercises. Our Physios may also recommend specific exercises, and a general fitness programme to increase energy and well-being
