Obstetrics – including ante and post-natal classes/exercise/relaxation/advice and treatment for backpain during pregnancy.

At ….thriving through physio our Physiotherapists will not only treat the problem but by spending time with the patient will often be able to show the patient how to help prevent the problem happening again.

We use a number of different techniques including manipulation and mobilisations, massage, hydrotherapy, exercise programmes, electrotherapy (eg. ultrasound) and acupuncture.

What to expect when you visit us

We will have a brief chat with you over the phone to establish the problem and arrange an appointment.

At your first visit a physical assessment will then be undertaken to determine the clinical diagnosis. We will discuss with you a proposed treatment plan and will give you an estimate as to the length of treatment required and the proposed outcome of your treatment.

The initial assessment will probably last between 30 and 40 minutes and subsequent treatment sessions will last 30 minutes.

We will give you an opportunity to ask questions about your condition and provide advice regarding its management and prevention in the future.
