Physiotherapy
The purpose of physiotherapy is to improve an athlete’s or patient’s physical wellbeing relative to the demands of their sport or activity and return them to a level of physical function necessary to return to full activity.
Physiotherapy would initially consist of an in depth subjective (interview) assessment followed by a physical assessment which looks to diagnose the pain or injury and determine the cause of pain by examining not just the injured area but also other areas of the body which may make a patient more vulnerable to injury.
This is then followed by outlining a detailed recovery plan which may include treatment and a progression-based exercise program which is suited specifically to each patient.
