Physiotherapy is, by definition, a very physical form of treatment, that’s recommended and diagnosed to those who have both sudden onset and long-term or chronic conditions. It uses a combination of massage therapies, orthotics, and several different alternative therapies to create tailored packages for each client – with our physiotherapy practice in Essex specialising in the formation of comprehensive treatment plans.
In its simplest terms, any treatment prescribed as part of physiotherapy is designed to strengthen and improve muscle and joint function, making movements both easier and less painful.
What Services Fall Under our Physiotherapy Packages?
The services that fall under physiotherapy are diverse and varied, with the goal always being to relieve symptoms and prescribe the right exercises and long-term solutions to help strengthen the muscle and minimise the risk of a repeat injury.
This is because physiotherapy is crucially about getting to the root cause of the pain or injury and working hard to build strong foundations that will help restore full strength and function/movement.
Some of the main services that we offer as part of our physiotherapy treatments include massage therapy, sports massage, dry needling, the prescription of orthotics, reflexology, and acupuncture.
How Does Physiotherapy Support Pain-Free Living?
So, what role does physiotherapy play in pain relief? After all, isn’t recovery all about taking the time to rest and allow the problem site to heal, rather than manipulating it and forcing it to move?
In most cases, physiotherapy is advised alongside rest, to ensure that an injured joint or muscle does not seize up and become weak. Not only do treatments like dry needling help to relieve tension and thereby reduce pain through targeted therapy, but the restorative approach and strength building of physio exercises give the body restored strength and function.
The stronger you are, the quicker the recovery and rehabilitation process, and the less time you will have to spend away from your favoured activities or sports.
Other ways that physiotherapy supports pain-free living include the prescription of orthotics which adjusts clients’ posture and alignment, massage therapy which reduces the risk of further injury by keeping joints flexible, and remedial massage which increases blood flow to support the full body.
