Physiotherapy is the treatment of disease, injury, or deformity by physical methods such as manual therapy and exercise rather than by drugs or surgery. Physiotherapists use a wide range of therapeutic approaches to facilitate recovery.
At Blackberry Clinic we believe that individual treatment plans and helping patients to understand why they have pain are key to a successful rehabilitation and recovery.
After a thorough assessment your physiotherapist will decide on a treatment plan for your condition or injury. This might include manual therapy such as mobilisation, manipulation or massage. If appropriate, the physio may offer acupuncture, dry needling or shock wave ultrasound. You may have some exercises to continue at home and ergonomic advice. Some long standing issues and chronic problems benefit from Connect Therapy™ and The Thoracic Ring Approach™(available at Milton Keynes). Physiotherapists treat people of all ages and abilities.
