Chest physiotherapy:
Chest physiotherapy is a treatment option used to improve respiratory function and clear mucus from the lungs. It can be very helpful in managing conditions such as COPD, bronchiectasis, and pneumonia. People struggling with shortness of breath due to long COVID or other causes of reduced exercise tolerance may benefit from chest physiotherapy to help strengthen respiratory muscles and improve lung volumes.
Reconditioning following hospital admission, including critical care stay:
Prolonged hospital admissions can often lead to reduced mobility, muscle weakness, and decreased confidence. Stressful events can cause psychological trauma, leading to fear and a reduction in quality of life. A holistic approach and guided rehabilitation can enhance recovery by helping clients overcome their fear and perform physical activities such as outdoor mobility, trips to the shops, or socialising."
Neurological physiotherapy:
Neurological physiotherapy can be helpful for people suffering from conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, or stroke. It supports confidence, strength, and coordination to help regain lost function or maintain the current level of functionality. Joint and soft tissue mobilisation can be utilised to help with joint stiffness and contractures."
Physiotherapy before and after surgery:
Getting fit for surgery is crucial to reduce the risk of postoperative complications and improve post-op recovery. The period before and after surgery can feel very overwhelming. Your physiotherapist can support you on this journey by helping you get physically stronger, including your breathing muscles. They can also help you understand what to expect and provide guidance on self-management after surgeries, such as abdominal, gynaecological, or joint procedures.
Pelvic Health Physiotherapy for women:
Pelvic floor symptoms are very common, but they are not normal. This service supports women suffering from pelvic floor dysfunction such as bladder leakage, bladder urgency, pelvic organ prolapse, bowel leakage or constipation.
Some women find it very difficult and upsetting to talk about this very personal issue. Having this consultation in the safety of your own home can make it easier to take the first step to address your symptoms.
We use a broad range of treatments to help you achieve your goals. Pelvic health physiotherapy is much more than just pelvic floor exercises. The treatments recommended will depend on your symptoms and goals but may include education, lifestyle changes, self-management strategies and exercises.
Due to some limitations regarding the assessment in the home setting, if required, more in-depth assessment can be arranged in one of our local clinics.
