Physiotherapy treatment may include the following:

 

• Soft tissue and joint mobilisations to restore range of movement and reduce pain

• Soft tissue treatment to reduce spasm and increase blood circulation

• Electrotherapy (may include ultrasound, interferential, muscle stimulation, TENS and LASER therapies) - may help to reduce pain and aid healing

• Acupuncture (the insertion of sterile, fine needles into specific points on the body)  - may help to reduce pain and muscle spasm, release trigger points and tight soft tissue.

• Exercise - to help restore movement, increase strength, reduce muscle tightness / stiffness and balance.

• Biomechanical assessment  - identifies abnormalities in posture and the way you move, which may lead to injury

• Screening / functional assessment - full body 'MOT', to identify areas that may be prone to injury, allowing preventative measure to be put in place and may improve performance.
