Rather than providing a rushed appointment and sending you away with a generic exercise sheet, the aim is to understand what is happening, identify the factors that may be contributing to your symptoms and work with you towards your particular goals.
Physiotherapy for people who want to stay active
Rusholme is close to several areas of South Manchester, and many people have busy routines involving work, study, commuting, exercise and everyday responsibilities.
Pain can make all of these things more difficult.You might be dealing with a shoulder that hurts when you reach or lift, back pain after sitting for long periods, knee pain when exercising, or an injury that has stopped you from doing something you normally enjoy.
Sometimes there isn't one obvious injury at all.
A problem can gradually develop through repeated activity, changes in exercise, prolonged sitting or simply doing more than your body is currently accustomed to.
An assessment can help you understand what may be happening and what you can do about it.
