- Sports injuries
- Joint problems
- Muscle, ligament and tendon injuries
- Arthritis and rheumatism
- Post surgery
- Postural problems
- Work related injuries
- Whiplash and personal injury
At one time or another we all suffer from pain in various parts of our bodies. These can be caused by accidents, sporting activities, surgery, wear and tear of daily life or could be the result of long standing problems. In particular our muscles, backs, necks, knees, hips, ankles, shoulders, elbows and hands can all be a source of discomfort which can limit our enjoyment of daily activities. Prompt physiotherapy treatment speeds recovery and allows a rapid return to normal activities from all these types of problems.
Treatments
At PEAK Physiotherapy we use up-to-date and evidence based treatments so that you will receive the most appropriate and effective treatment for your condition. Your treatment may include:
Manual Therapy
Manual therapy is a term that encompasses a variety of physiotherapeutic treatment techniques. Mobilisations are applied to joints to reduce stiffness and relieve pain and manipulations may also be applied to joints to restore normal movement.
Soft tissue massage and manipulation is effective at reducing scar tissue, stretching tight structures, relieving spasm and aiding the healing process.
Exercise Therapy
Personalised exercise programmes are devised with you to complete at home or in our gym facilities. You will be provided with specific exercises for your condition that address weak muscles, stiff joints, muscle imbalance and poor posture, as appropriate.
Acupuncture
Western acupuncture involves the dry-needling of symptomatic areas, primarily for pain relief. Trigger point release and intra-muscular stimulation can decrease pain, release tight soft tissues and promote healing. This technique can be used very effectively alone, or in conjunction with other physiotherapy techniques.
Pilates
Clinical Pilates used by physiotherapists is a modification of the traditional Pilates exercises developed by Joseph Pilates over 70 years ago. The emphasis is control of the deep stabilising muscles of the trunk which support the spine. Improved core stability can reduce postural pain and enhance efficiency of movement.
Hydrotherapy
Hydrotherapy is therapeutic exercise in the pool environment. It is a comfortable way to reduce joint stiffness and improve muscle activity. This is a very gentle way to rehabilitate the body and as such is appropriate for very painful conditions. It is also an excellent medium for the injured athlete to rehabilitate from injury and maintain fitness whilst injured.
Sports Rehabilitation
Early and correct treatment of sports injuries is vital for the most effective recovery. Sports injuries are treated to ensure optimal recovery and return to sport as soon as possible. The sports person will be provided with a sport-specific rehabilitation programme and given advice to prevent re-injury.
Ergonomic and postural advice
Ergonomic advice is invaluable at work and home to help prevent pain caused by repetitive movements, poor seating, desk position and computer alignment. You will also be advised on maintaining a good posture and shown how to do this to prevent aches and pains. Further information.
