Physiotherapy

Initial Consultation

Before commencing treatment at Elizabeth Edwards Physiotherapy, it is essential that you attend an initial consultation so that we can discuss what methods will suit you best. This will involve your therapist taking a thorough history of your problem, listening to your concerns, and performing a physical examination. This detailed process will allow your therapist to reach an accurate diagnosis, which shall ultimately lead to a more effective treatment program, and rapid recovery.

We understand that this procedure cannot be rushed, and in order for us to gather all the information needed, each initial consultation is 1 hour in duration. You will always receive some treatment within this time. To arrange your initial consultation contact us now on 02086472082 or email info@eephysiotherapy.co.uk.

Biomechanical Assessments

Biomechanics is the study of the structure and function of the entire musculoskeletal system. Pains are often a result of abnormalities in the structure and alignment of bones and this can therefore result in abnormal functioning of the surrounding muscles and joints. This poor functioning of the musculoskeletal system can lead to a variety of conditions that affect any bone, joint, ligament, tendon or muscle. Biomechanical assessments are therefore vital, not only in diagnosing the cause of an existing pain but preventing pains/injuries from occurring by detecting an abnormality and treating it before it affects an individual’s function.

Manual Therapy

Whether your joints are stiff or painful, there will almost always be a technique that will suit you. Contrary to popular belief, these techniques are gentle, and do not involve "putting joints back into place".

The clicking sound is due to a release of pressure within the joint, which then allows it to be gently mobilised to restore movement and function. Manipulations are not always indicated and discussion with your therapist will be required. Alternatively, gentle mobilisations may be more appropriate to allow gradual stretching to the joint capsules and surrounding soft tissues.

Massage and Specific Soft Tissue Techniques

There are many ways of treating soft tissue problems and massage comes in many different forms. Sports massage is deep, isolating tight areas and working them free, Myofascial Release is another technique which restores normal length to the soft tissues that surround your muscles and joints. Stretching techniques can also be employed to work on specific muscle groups.

The benefits of massage are widely known. It improves circulation and lymphatic drainage, improves muscle length and has fantastic pain-relieving and de-stressing effects. Whether your muscles are tight after a run, or your shoulders ache after sitting at your desk all day, there is always a treatment technique that will benefit you.

Electrotherapy

At Elizabeth Edwards Physiotherapy, we only employ treatment modalities that work. Ultrasound has been shown to be effective for assisting in the healing process of acute soft tissue injuries. Be it a sprained ankle or inflamed knee, this non-painful form of electrotherapy may help to promote recovery in conjunction with other physiotherapy treatments. It works by transmitting sound waves into the injured tissue. This causes the cells inside the tissue to vibrate gently against each other. This increases circulation and speeds up the cells activity, resulting in acceleration of healing. To find out if ultrasound may benefit you, contact us now on 02086472082 or email info@eephysiotherapy.co.uk.
