Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy can help with pain, injury, movement problems and recovery following surgery.

At Motion, it starts with understanding what's happening to you. We'll talk about your symptoms, how they started, what makes them better or worse and, importantly, how they're affecting your life.

We'll then carry out a physical assessment based on your problem. This might include looking at your movement, strength, mobility and function, alongside relevant clinical tests.

We'll explain what we find in plain English and discuss what we think could help.

When you're in pain, getting back to everything you want to do can feel a long way off. So where appropriate, the first part of your plan will focus on helping settle your symptoms and getting you moving more comfortably again.

That might involve changing or adapting some activities temporarily, giving you advice on managing your symptoms, introducing the right level of movement or exercise, or using hands-on treatment where we think it could help.

But that's only the beginning.

We don't just want you feeling better. We want to help you get back to doing more.

As things begin to settle, the focus can start to shift.

We can work on rebuilding the movement, strength and physical capacity you need for whatever you're trying to return to.

For one person, that might mean being able to walk comfortably and get through work.

For someone else, it could mean lifting heavy weights, running 10K or getting back on the football pitch.

Your rehabilitation should reflect the demands of your life, not somebody else's.
