Our Treatments
We are particularly aware of the advantages of immediate
treatment and of minimising the post injury inactive period. Manual therapy
plus effective
full rehabilitation exercise programme, with an emphasis on reintegration
back to full activity, can help prevent recurrence of the same and similar
problems.
After taking a detailed history, a thorough musculoskeletal
assessment is carried out to identify the exact nature and extent of
the injury.
Any underlying biomechanical problems that may be contributing to the
problem are identified i.e. posture, feet, improper sports technique.
Our full range of physiotherapy services are supplemented
by special equipment and methods for the treatment of pain and injuries.

Manual Therapy
 
This is a carefully graded system of
moving the joints to reduce pain and restore normal mobility
to the joints
and nervous system in combination, as well as with stretching
soft tissues. It involves mobilisation, manipulation and
other related techniques.

|
Electrotherapy
|
 |
 
We use a combination of ultra sound, lazer & electrotherapy to reduce pain
and swelling, and to promote healing.

Rehabilitation
 
|
Exercises are
specifically designed for each individual and injuries are
rehabilitated from beginner
to advanced. You are under careful supervision of a Chartered
Physiotherapist in our fully equipped gymnasium, and are
carefully monitored so you can feel safe and secure in gaining
fitness
to return
to
work,
normal
activities and your level of sport. We cater for athletes
up to Olympic level. We have incorporated Rehabilitation Pilates
into our facilities to complement our existing services. A
maximum of four participants per class allows for a high level
of care and individual feedback. The classes are taught by
a Chartered Physiotherapist.
Home exercises are scientifically designed
to help your posture, improve the mobility of your spine and
joints, and stabilise and strengthen the muscles that support
your bones. We have been using the Norwegian system of medical
exercise therapy for the past 25 years. |

Orthotics
  |
Painful feet, knees, hips & back
are often caused by a biomechanical problem i.e. the shape
of your hips, knees and feet. We can fully assess your foot
problems and may prescribe orthotics (custom-made devices which
balance your feet and allow you to walk in as close to a neutral
position as possible, reducing the rotational stresses from your
feet to your back.)
Childrens Feet: Eileen
Murphy has specialised in Paediatric Biomechanics in children (intoeing,
attoeing, flat feet). A careful assessment of the child is carried
out and prescriptions made as to the development requirements of
the child. |
|
Ergonomics
|
 |
By assessing
the work station environment we can identify treat and prevent
problems caused by improper desk arrangement (repetitive strain
injury, back and neck care and upper limb disorders.) |
|
Osteoporosis
|
 |
It is scientifically proven
that exercise can maintain, prevent and restore bone mass density.
We design safe and effective strength training programmes for
people with Osteoporosis, in combination with an overall programme
of advice and management. |
