What is Physiotherapy?
It is the treatment of injury, disease and disorders through physical methods — such as exercise, massage, manipulation and other treatments.
In many cases, an injury can be caused by other underlying factors. It could be that constant back pain is caused by repetitive work related activities, bad posture, being over-weight, or even adopting the wrong technique when playing a sport. Accordingly, the physiotherapist not only treats the back pain but addresses the other factors too. This holistic approach aims to reduce the risk of the injury happening again.
A thorough assessment is carried out so a diagnosis can be given and a treatment plan put in place. Our Taunton-based physiotherapists spend time listening to each patient’s recount of their injury and consequently perform numerous diagnostic tests to determine both the nature and the probable cause of the injury. Depending on the outcome, the therapist may use their hands to mobilise stiff joints and/or release tight muscles, provide a program of exercises to strengthen weak structures, and advise as to what activities to do or avoid in order to accelerate recovery.
The principal focus of Physiotherapy treatment is then on restoring normal, symmetrical, pain-free movement. And, because it is an ‘abnormal’ asymmetrical movement that often leads to injury, our therapists can prevent injury by identifying and correcting such movement asymmetries.
