Exercises

Exercises are given to reduce pain and to improve flexibility and strength. Advice is given in line with the specific needs of the condition being treated and in some circumstances equipment, such as thera band or an exercise ball may also be provided.

Exercises maybe modified during the course of treatment for improved strength and flexibility, they can also help to reduce the number of physiotherapy treatments required. Rehabilitation may include muscle imbalance work, proprioceptive exercises, clinical Pilates style exercises and stability ball work. Exercises are just one of the many approaches used within our clinic and they are rarely used as a stand-alone approach.

A full and thorough clinical assessment is made at the start of treatment which allows the physiotherapist to use a combined approach in the management of inflammation, pain, to aid recovery and enhance rehabilitation.
