What can be treated through online physiotherapy?
Comprehensive Musculoskeletal Care
Our team of experienced physiotherapists specialise in treating a variety of ‘musculoskeletal’ disorders. We’re talking about anything related to the muscles or skeleton, so think: ligaments, tendons, joints etc. Don’t worry if you’re not sure what is causing your pain, that’s exactly the point of an assessment.
Back Pain and Sciatica
Back pain is a common issue that can significantly impact your daily life. Sciatica, is often a term used to describe all sorts of back pain and you can read more about exactly what it is here. It’s likely that you’re not able to pinpoint what is causing your backpain or you’ve heard all sorts of worrying things such as misalignments and bulging. Let us help you to dispel all of those worry’s and find an effective treatment plan. We can assist you to find relief and regain your mobility.
Sports Injuries
If you’re an athlete or active individual, sports injuries can be particularly frustrating. You want to get back to your sport or activity but can’t get a doctors appointment or referral. The situation goes on for weeks and your fitness levels drop as a result. Our virtual consultations are ideal for addressing sports-related injuries, whether it’s a sprain, strain, or severe level tear, we can advise you.
We’ve all met the gym buddy who thinks that because their brother in law or mate experienced similar pain, they can diagnose yours. Take the guess work and risk of worsening your problem out of the equation. Speak with a fully qualified physiotherapist who can tell you if you have really torn your ACL, MCL, rotator cuff etc. There are no quick fixes, you need real information and treatment based upon historical evidence specific to your injury.
Tennis Elbow, Plantar Fasciitis, and More
Specific conditions like tennis elbow, plantar fasciitis, and frozen shoulder can be painful and limit your daily activities. They are also often misdiagnosed by people ‘Googling’ their symptoms. Once you know for sure, it is much easier to accept, plan and move on.
Empowering Self-Efficacy
What is self efficacy? Evidence shows that individuals who actively participate in their recovery, experience faster and more effective results. It’s well documented that a patient is more likely to continue with the treatment plan if they understand it. With longer appointments than a traditional NHS one, our physiotherapists can take the time to explain things much more clearly.
