Physiotherapy
Tia Physiotherapist CSP
Tia explains Physiotherapy in more detail. Treating people of all ages.
Focusing on the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of conditions affecting the muscles, bones, joints, ligaments, and tendons of the body. Common issues addressed include sports injuries, arthritis, post-operative rehabilitation, muscle strains, ligament sprains, and repetitive strain injuries, back and neck pain.
Treatment includes a combination of manual therapy techniques, exercise prescription, education on injury prevention, and lifestyle modifications to help patients manage pain, improve mobility, and regain function in their daily activities.
Additionally, we work closely with patients to develop personalised treatment plans tailored to their specific needs and goals for recovery.
Respiratory physiotherapy focuses on treating a wide range of conditions that affect the respiratory system. These include, asthma, cystic fibrosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bronchiectasis, pneumonia, and other respiratory infections. I also work with patients on breathlessness management whilst recovering from surgeries. Interventions often focus on improving lung function, clearing mucus from the airways, optimising breathing patterns, and enhancing overall respiratory health and function.
Neurological physiotherapy focuses on treating individuals with neurological conditions that affect the central nervous system, including the brain and spinal cord. These conditions include stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, spinal cord injuries, cerebral palsy, and traumatic brain injuries, among others. Neurological physiotherapy aims to improve mobility, balance, coordination, strength, and overall functional abilities in patients with neurological impairments. Therapeutic interventions may include exercises to enhance motor control, gait training, balance exercises, and techniques to improve muscle tone and flexibility. The ultimate goal is to optimise the individual’s independence, quality of life, and participation in daily activities.
Dizziness can also be effectively treated through physiotherapy, which focuses on improving balance and coordination through targeted exercises and techniques. Physiotherapists may utilise vestibular rehabilitation therapy to address inner ear issues that contribute to dizziness, as well as gaze stabilisation exercises to improve visual focus and reduce symptoms of vertigo. Physiotherapists work closely with the patient throughout the session to create a personalised treatment plan that allows patients to manage dizziness in the long term and ultimately help them regain their sense of stability and well-being.

Our Physios use their knowledge and skills to improve a range of conditions associated with different systems of the body, such as:
- Neurological (stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s)
- Neuromusculoskeletal (whiplash associated disorder, sports injuries, arthritis)
- Cardiovascular (chronic heart disease, rehabilitation after heart attack)
- Respiratory (asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cystic fibrosis).
