During physical activity it is possible to sustain a variety of muscle and joint problems. Physical therapy is important for a successful recovery and swift return to normal activity.

Our  consultants will undertake a clinical evaluation that involves:

• Case History

• Observation

• Palpation of soft tissues

• Active and passive range of motion testing

• Orthopaedic tests appropriate to your condition

• Referral for Ultrasound , MRI, CT, and x-ray if needed

Our consultants will give a clinical opinion and explain your condition using visual aids, computer animations or anatomical models,

We will propose a therapy pathway explaining how we intend to manage your problem and provide a guideline for expected rate of improvement. In addition we set a time scale for regular re-evaluation to ensure that you are achieving proposed targets..
