What is Physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy is a broad-reaching form of therapy designed to deal with neuromusculoskeletal (nerve/muscle/joint) problems within the body. There are many different branches of physiotherapy so you will find that some physiotherapists have more specialised knowledge in a given area. However, there are common principles throughout all areas of physiotherapy, and these are health promotion, advice and exercise. Physiotherapists can explain to you how the body works, what could be causing your problem, what things to avoid, and what to do in a flare-up in order to help yourself.
Many patients find that this knowledge is just as valuable as the hands-on treatment itself, as they get a better feeling of control over their symptoms.
What does a Physiotherapist do?To be honest, the question is more "What doesn't a physiotherapist do?"!!!!! Physiotherapists can be involved with so many different client groups it is hard to know where to begin. Here are just a few areas that you may find physiotherapists working in:
- Sports Clinics for Injury Prevention and Treatment
- Occupational Health and Workplace Assessment
- Neurological Rehabilitation (eg. after a Stroke)
- Post-operation/illness Rehabilitation
- Nursing and Care Homes
- Paediatrics and Schools
- Respiratory Care
- Amputee Clinics
- Women's Health
- Outpatients
- Hospices
I mainly assess chronic and acute musculoskeletal conditions post-operation rehabilitation, so I will discuss how physiotherapy works in these areas.
About MeI provide physiotherapy treatment mainly within a clinic in Eastbourne but home visits are available if appropriate (this will depend on the particular condition that is to be treated). I also offer home visits for reflexology treatments.
I have 7 years experience as a physiotherapist treating a wide variety of conditions. I now specialise in treating "neuromusculoskeletal" conditions - problems with muscles, joints and nerves that cause pain, stiffness or weakness. I am particularly interested in problems in the lower limbs, and worked along side podiatrists for 18 months gaining further experience in this area. I am able to advise on orthotics, insoles and footwear that can be useful for relieving pain in the lower limbs or spine caused by problems within the feet and ankles. This experience also led to my interest in reflexology and I have been practising this for the past 3 years. I have found it particularly useful for treating stress-related conditions, however, the list of conditions that can be treated with reflexology is endless.
If you would like to discuss my physiotherapy or reflexology services, please send me an email to carolineholding@hotmail.co.uk or phone me on 07888 755851. If I cannot take your call please leave me a message and I will return your call as soon as possible.
