PHYSIOTHERAPY

Our highly specialised physiotherapists (Master's Level Physiotherapists) at Physio Pattern Manchester will provide individualised Physiotherapy treatment tailored to your needs

WHAT IS PHYSIOTHERAPY?

Physiotherapy is a science-based profession and takes a 'whole person' approach to health and well-being, which includes the patient’s general lifestyle.

At the core is the patient’s involvement in their own care, through education, awareness, empowerment and participation in their treatment. We provide hands-on therapy focuses on the source of the problem, and the therapist has direct contact with the patient.

HOW IS PHYSIOTHERAPY DONE?

Your Physiotherapist will assess the muscle strength and the passive / active range of movement in your joints. Based on the subjective and objective examination, your therapist will tailor a treatment program, so you can keep your muscles and joints working as well as possible.

Techniques like soft tissue release, Manual therapy, Tecar therapy, Shockwave, class IV Laser, Magneto-therapy, Functional Neurology and corrective exercise might be used during your physiotherapy session.
