Treatment

Michael Thomas Physiotherapy employs the latest concepts and techniques for treatment and rehabilitation.

Following assessment a comprehensive treatment plan is agreed. When appropriate, your stiff joints may be mobilised to ensure correct movement. Retraining exercises to control unwanted movement can be taught to help reduce pain.

Soft tissue massage or trigger point release can help achy, overactive muscles.  Work activity or sports training habits can be improved by analysis and re-adjustments targeted at the root cause implemented.

A bespoke exercise programme targeted to strengthen, stretch or increase range of motion can be prescribed following your surgery or injury.

The goal is to treat your pain and control your symptoms with self treatment. Ultimately, we aim to provide you with the tools and skills to prevent recurrence.

To help with your recovery, we can provide the necessary equipment and products: gymballs (to help challenge stability), Gymsticks (a Finnish training stick), air cushions, cliniband (graded elastic for strengthening), in-soles, TENS machines (for pain relief) or Cryocuffs (cooling and compression device for swelling).
