If you suffer from pain and mobility issues it is quite common for us to get by, using over-the-counter pain killers and ointments. Often we don’t seek the support of a Physio until we have been referred via a GP or until the pain is so bad.

Physiotherapists are trained professionals that help injured patients get back to the highest range of movements. If left untreated injuries often don’t heal as well as if you were on a treatment plan. Injuries, if left for 12 weeks can become chronic and chronic injuries are a lot harder to treat. Injuries also heal a lot quicker if you work with a physiotherapist, with the added benefit of often having less pain and more range of movement than before you had your injury.

If you feel it is only a minor injury and you are still in pain 48 hours after the injury, make an appointment with a physiotherapist. If you feel the injury is more serious make an appointment immediately. If for an extended period, you have been living with chronic pain and or limited mobility and range of movement make an appointment with a physiotherapist.  

Wear something comfortable. Bring a pair of shorts if it is a lower back, hip, knee, ankle, or a foot problem. Bring a tank top / vest if it is a neck, upper back, shoulder, elbow, or hand problem.

Physiotherapy can be helpful for people of all ages with a wide range of health conditions, including problems affecting the: 

bones, joints, and soft tissue – such as back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, and sports injuries

brain or nervous system – such as movement problems resulting from a stroke, multiple sclerosis (MS), or Parkinson’s disease

heart and circulation – such as rehabilitation after a heart attack

Physiotherapy can improve your physical activity while helping you to prevent further injuries.
