Physiotherapy helps restore movement and function when someone is affected by injury, illness or disability.
Physical therapy is concerned with identifying and maximising quality of life and movement potential within the spheres of promotion, prevention, treatment/intervention, habilitation and rehabilitation.
Physical Therapist
Physical therapists are the health care professionals who diagnose as well as treat patients of all ages who have problems or some other health-related difficulties that may limit their ability to perform activities in their daily life. They offer cost-effective treatment that focuses on improvement of mobility and relieving pain, reducing the need for surgery and prescription drugs, and informs patients to participate in a recovery plan which is designed for their needs. In addition to this, physical therapists work with patients to prevent the loss of mobility by developing the fitness and wellness programs for a more healthy and active lifestyle.
Physiotherapist
Physiotherapists are a degree-based healthcare professional who helps people with physical difficulties resulting from injury, disability through movement, and illness. They treat many types of conditions such as neurological (stroke, Parkinson, multiple sclerosis), neuromusculoskeletal (back pain, sports injuries, arthritis), cardiovascular (chronic heart disease), and respiratory (asthma, cystic fibrosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) by providing manual therapy (such as massage), electrotherapy, and therapeutic exercise. They work alone or in a team alongside health and social care professionals such as occupational therapists, district nurses, health visitors, and social workers.
I work within a wide variety of health settings to improve a broad range of physical problems associated with different 'systems' of the body. In particular they treat neuromuscular (brain and nervous system), musculoskeletal (soft tissues, joints and bones), cardiovascular and respiratory systems (heart and lungs and associated physiology). Physiotherapists work autonomously, often as a member of a team with other health or social care professionals. Physiotherapy practice is characterised by reflective behaviour and systematic clinical reasoning, both contributing to and underpinning a problem-solving approach to patient-centric care. People are often referred for physiotherapy by doctors or other health and social care professionals. Increasingly, as a result of changes in health care, people are referring themselves directly to physiotherapists (first-line access) without previously seeing any other health care professional.
People with neurological conditions may have difficulties with their physical functions including mobility, muscle strength, range of movement and balance.
Neurological physiotherapy is a type of rehabilitation offering examination and treatment of the physical problems that are caused by an individual’s neurological condition.
The treatment approach used varies depending on the individual, their symptoms and their goals. This allows us to maximise the potential of our patients.

I can assess and treat people with disorders of the central nervous system that affect the brain, spinal cord and nerves. People with conditions such as stroke and Parkinson's often have complex mobility issues.
I can provide specialist, tailored therapy for older people with mobility and functional problems to improve day-to-day function and overall quality of life.
I can provide you with activities to carry out to help your child with their gross motor skills.
I can begin rehabilitation in short frequent spells, focused on getting out of bed, standing and walking. This repetitive task training helps people regain movement and relearn everyday activities.
I can treat the underlying causes of paralysis using physiotherapy and restore mobility in the affected body part.
I can give therapy which involves the care of your entire musculoskeletal system, which includes your bones, muscles, ligaments and tendons, joints, connective tissue.
I can provide the stroke therapy and rehabilitation suggestions for Preventing Secondary Stroke post COVID-19.
I will give physiotherapy for post covid patients respiratory problems with COVID-19 and help them with safe and efficacy of the use of chest.
