Is important to enable you to get correct advice on how to
give your injury the best chance of recovering quickly with
minimal trauma, and decrease any compensatory movements, which
lead to dysfunction and re-injury.
Can stabilise your injury and support it correctly.
Can relieve or reduce pain.
Can reduce Inflammation, which in turn decreases pain and
enhances return to function.
GENERAL PHYSIOTHERAPY:
Will maintain and improve the movement available
after injury.
Continues with the reduction of pain, inflammation
and instability.
Will stabilise hypermobile joints.
Will mobilise joints that are hypomobile (stiff).
Will strengthen and stretch the appropriate muscles.
FRACTURES
Breaks and fractures will rehabilitate to their fullest function
more quickly with early physio. Stabilised in plaster stiffens
joints, decreases range of movement , and weakens and shortens
soft tissues.
SURGERY
Physiotherapy plays a vital role in rehabilitation, helping people
recover from operations.
Pre operative
Pre operative physio treatment can correct any alignment issues,
maintain function and flexibility and strengthen muscles. This
enhances recovery post op and return to physical function.
Post operative
Rehabilitation after orthopedic surgery e.g. hip and knee
replacements can increase the healing rate and gain full function.
Scar tissue can restrict movement look unsightly and feel
tight and uncomfortable. Physio can decrease the appearance
of scars and increase the mobility and reduction in tightness.
REHABILITATION AND RETURN TO FUNCTION
At the physio-room we offer professional management and advice
to encourage full recovery and return to function and prevent recurrence
of injury.
