Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy
The Health Movement sees physiotherapy as a way of relieving pain, optimising physical function, and ultimately improving performance, whatever form that takes.
We specialise in treating musculoskeletal problems, involving injury to structures such as joints, ligaments, muscles, tendons, and nerves. Injuries can occur due to a specific traumatic incident, such as twisting an ankle whilst playing football or dislocating a shoulder when falling off a bike. Injury can also occur from simply putting the body under too much strain before it has developed the strength to tolerate it, for example trying to run too far too soon.
While it is more common for people to seek physiotherapy when they are injured or in pain, physiotherapists can also help with preventing injury by identifying underlying physical deficits. By addressing these, you can reduce your risk of injury in the future, particularly if you are about to take up a new sport or type of exercise.
So, if you have any pain or injury, whether from sitting at your desk too much or due to a sporting mishap, or even if you just want to improve your physical condition and performance, we are here to help you.

It is a common saying that physical fitness is the key to having a healthy and happy life. It has been proven that regular exercise can ward off many diseases, such as cardiovascular ailments and diabetes.
But what if we told you that our bodies need more than just conventional exercises like running and cycling? According to research, older adults (or people who have been physically inactive for a long time) tend to experience a fair share of health issues. This is because their muscle and endurance have deteriorated, leading to increased body weight, loss of speed and balance, impaired coordination, reduced lung function, and reduced bone strength.
As a result of this, the risk of injury increases due to falls which may result in fractured bones. As one gets older, bone mineral density decreases, and with that comes an increased chance of fractures.
The good news is there are ways to maintain the health of your body while you age through physiotherapy. This type of alternative medicine uses a variety of procedures such as massages, ultrasound waves, diathermy, and acupuncture to treat musculoskeletal pain and other physical injuries. This refers to the practice of restoring a person's physical function through exercise, massage, manipulations, and other treatments.
Benefits of Physiotherapy
Benefits of Physiotherapy
Increases joint movement
Increases joint movement
Physiotherapy aims to increase the range of motion in joints and maintain their agility. This helps relieve pain and prevent injury such as arthritis. It also increases flexibility which has been shown to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Better mental health
Better mental health
Physiotherapy helps improve coordination by exercising the brain, improving cognitive skills such as memory and concentration. It also enhances confidence, self-esteem, and mood, making it a great option for those who want to prevent depression.
Improved postural awareness
Improved postural awareness
Posture is key for good health, but studies show that posture often declines as a person ages. This causes muscle imbalances which can lead to pain and injury. Physiotherapy helps the body maintain proper alignment through massage and rehabilitative exercises.
Reduces the incidence of falls
Reduces the incidence of falls
One of the leading causes of injuries in old age is due to falls, which typically happen when one trips or loses balance. This can be prevented through regular physiotherapy sessions, which help improve coordination so you can regain your sense of stability and stay upright for longer periods.
Increases quality of life
Increases quality of life
As you age, your body changes and physiotherapy can help slow down the process by treating any pain or injury slowing you down. It also helps increase your sense of independence since it allows you to carry out daily activities effectively without struggling due to aching muscles and joints. This makes it a great option for those who want to enjoy a better quality of life as they age.
