How can Physiotherapy help?

Physiotherapy helps to restore movement and function when someone is affected by injury, illness or disability. It can also help to reduce your risk of injury or illness in the future.

Physiotherapy can help conditions such as aches and pains (general), arthritic pain, backache, back pain, circulatory problems, cramp, joint pains, lumbago, muscle spasms, neuralgia and minor sports injuries.

Our Physiotherapists work on a Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday.  Joanne can do home visits if needed and is highly qualified in traditional Physiotherapy as well as being a Neuro Physio and also able to do wheel chair assessments.

All our Physiotherapists are registered with the Health Professions Council.

Consultation

At your first physiotherapy appointment, you’ll complete a short medical history form. Your physiotherapist will then ask targeted questions about your condition — what brings it on, what eases it, how long you’ve had it, and how it affects your daily life. This helps confirm that physiotherapy is the right approach and begins to shape your personalised treatment plan.

Examination

After the consultation, a physical examination assesses your posture, movement range, muscle strength, and neurological function where relevant. Your physiotherapist will explain what they find and outline a treatment plan before any treatment begins. You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions at every stage.

Treatment

Physiotherapy treatment at Attend2Health is tailored to your diagnosis and personal goals. It may include:

• Manual therapy — hands-on joint mobilisation and soft tissue work to reduce pain and restore movement

• Exercise rehabilitation — personalised programmes using body weight, resistance bands, a wobble board, or weights

• Ultrasound therapy — used for soft tissue injuries to reduce inflammation and support healing

• Neurological rehabilitation — specialist exercises and movement retraining for patients with stroke, Parkinson’s, MS, or spinal cord injuries

• Home visit physiotherapy — Joanne offers home visits for patients who cannot travel to the clinic

• Seated exercise classes — suitable for elderly patients or those with limited mobility

For conditions like lower back pain, a common pathway is to begin with chiropractic care to address the structural problem, then transition to physiotherapy for rehabilitation and prevention. Your team at Attend2Health will coordinate this across disciplines.
