What Is Physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy is a healthcare profession focused on restoring movement, reducing pain and helping people recover from injury, illness or physical dysfunction.
Using a combination of hands-on treatment, exercise rehabilitation, education and movement analysis, physiotherapists help identify the underlying factors contributing to your symptoms and develop a treatment plan designed around your individual needs.
At The Forge Clinic, Physiotherapy is about more than symptom management. Our aim is to help you move better, function more efficiently and reduce the likelihood of future problems.
Treatment may include:
- Manual therapy
- Exercise rehabilitation
- Shockwave therapy
- Soft tissue techniques
- Joint mobilisation
- Taping
