What does a physiotherapist do?

A physiotherapist is a highly trained health professional who works with you to identify and maximise your ability to move and function whilst considering your body as a whole.

As a new patient, a physiotherapist will take your health history and carry out a physical examination. Your physiotherapist will then develop a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs to ease pain and promote recovery.

They use a variety of techniques to alleviate pain and restore normal functionality of physical problems caused by injury, illness, disease and ageing. They can also help lessen the effects of any dysfunction and manage pain if you have a long-term health condition and disability.

The main approaches a physiotherapist will use are: education and advice such as posture and carrying techniques, movement and exercise for improved health, mobility and to build strength in specific body areas and, manual therapy which involves using their hands to encourage better movement and to help relieve pain and stiffness. 

What physiotherapy services are available at Clifton Park Hospital?

The Physio team at Clifton Park Hospital offer a comprehensive range of physiotherapy services for their patients. These include:

Shockwave therapy

Shockwave therapy is used to treat specific areas of tendon-related pain using impulses of energy delivered through a hand-held device through your skin. It increases blood flow to the affected area, stimulates cell regeneration, reduces inflammation, improves mobility and generates pain relief.

It is a highly effective treatment for: heel and mid foot pain including Plantar fasciitis and Achilles Tendinopathy, hip pain, shoulder pain, tennis elbow, hand and wrist pain, and knee and lower leg pain.

Inpatient surgical and orthopaedic team

Our physiotherapists work alongside the hospital’s inpatient surgical and orthopaedic team to provide holistic care and post-operative rehabilitation treatment whilst you are in hospital.

Out-patient musculoskeletal services

Our out-patient musculoskeletal physiotherapy services treat injuries and conditions which affect your muscles, joints and, soft tissues including: ligament and muscle sprains, arthritis, cartilage tears, fracture recovery, back pain and, pre and post-surgery rehabilitation.

Your physiotherapist will perform an assessment, including a biomechanical assessment if required,

and then develop a treatment plan that can include exercise, manual therapy and, self-management strategies to optimise your recovery, increase strength, restore normal movement, reduce inflammation and pain and, promote independence.

Back pain

Back pain can be reduced using physiotherapy techniques including manual manipulation and stretching and strengthening exercises. Strengthening exercise and advice can also help reduce the risk or recurrence.

Our physiotherapists can offer back pain management advice as well as occupational injury and ergonomic assessments to promote employee’s health and well-being in the work place.

Neck pain

Physiotherapy can provide a variety of treatments to help treat neck pain which will: ease stiffness and pain, build up muscle strength and stamina, improve head and neck range of motion and, develop strategies to prevent pain from recurring. Physiotherapy is one of the most common treatments for chronic neck pain.
