Staying active and moving well
Physiotherapy is not only for athletes. Many people come in because they want to keep walking, gardening, playing with grandchildren or heading to the gym without pain getting in the way. A physiotherapist can look at how you move and help you build strength and confidence.
Things we can help with
- Stiff or painful knees, hips and backs
- Balance and confidence on your feet
- Recovery after a fall or a sprain
- Getting back into activity after time off
If you are nervous about starting
If you are older or have been less active, there is no need to feel intimidated. Your first visit is mostly a conversation and a gentle assessment, and your physiotherapist will explain each step before moving on to the next.
Many people in their later years worry that physiotherapy will be too hard on them. In practice, exercises are chosen to match your current ability and are increased only as you get stronger, so the pace stays comfortable.
We have morning, evening and Saturday appointment times, so you can pick what suits you. Read more about our physiotherapy service, or call us with any questions.
