Feel Like You Again
Exercise therapy includes, home exercises. These are an integral part of any physiotherapy programme and are often essential to secure long term results. Each patient will receive an exercise plan tailored to their fitness level and the type of injury.
For many patients exercise is part of their life and they want to get back to the gym or specific sport, I can guide you on achieving this safely.
Other patients are less keen on exercise, and I am happy to direct them towards activities that are equally effective and can be easily and safely managed at home. It is essential that all exercise and activity is individually assessed and is appropriate for the patient’s lifestyle and fitness levels.
I will give you appropriate exercises to:
- Strengthen muscle
- Stretch tight structures
- Improve balance
- Increase proprioception
- Correct posture
Exercise is used in the treatment of all musculoskeletal problems particularly:
- Back and neck pain
- Shoulder, elbow, and wrist injuries
- Hip, knee, and ankle problems
- Balance problems
- Rehabilitation after surgery
I accept self referrals and I am registered with all the major insurers including BUPA, WPA, AXA and Aviva.
