Experienced HPC & Chartered Physiotherapists
Physiotherapy in our Manchester clinic is practised by experienced and proven physiotherapists or more commonly called physios, they are registered with the Health Professional Council and the Chartered Society of Physiotherapists.
Physiotherapy itself comes from a long history of physical therapy modules, and is concerned with the way the body functions, and using a physical therapy based approach, look to restore physical and functional balance. Today physiotherapy has developed many approaches to the treatment. Our practitioners consider why the injury came about, the maintaining factors such as work practise, posture or disability, a treatment plan is then formulated.
Once a plan is formulated the physiotherapist will use various physical approaches such as mobility, soft tissue work and exercises for rehabilitation, we look to give you the knowledge and neccesseay skills to take responsibility to improve and maintain your own health.
