Overview

What is Physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy helps restore function and mobility through exercise, massage, and manipulation.

How Physiotherapy Works

Physiotherapy helps detect and treat problems by moving, stretching, observing, and massaging muscles and joints.

What to expect when receiving Physiotherapy

At your appointment

A Physiotherapist will listen to your symptoms and any relevant medical history. They will then observe how you move and use their hands to find areas in the body that are weak, tender, restricted, or strained.

Physiotherapists will observe your movements, provide manual therapy, give general advice, and offer exercises to improve health and mobility.

Your appointment will last 30-60 minutes.

After your appointment

Physiotherapy shouldn’t usually be painful, but it may involve the movement of injured and strained areas of your body. The next day, you may feel muscle soreness or stiffness. Your Physiotherapist will let you know if you’re likely to have any pain and how to manage it.

Risks and complications of Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy is generally considered to be a safe treatment. There are minor side effects you may experience, such as:

  • Soreness or pain in the treatment area
  • Headache
  • Fatigue

How to recover following Physiotherapy

After Physiotherapy sessions, you may need to rest the affected area. Discuss your specific recovery with your Physiotherapist.
