Highly trained physiotherapists
Programme tailored to your needs
The Physiotherapy Department is committed to providing the highest possible standard of physiotherapy care to all patients and has three private cubicles and a gym area.
The service is run by 4 highly skilled Physiotherapists who are State registered and members of the Charted Society of Physiotherapy, and 3 Assistant Physiotherapists.
The objective of the service is to provide excellent physiotherapy treatment in a professional manner and friendly environment. Our physiotherapists use mainly manual therapy (mobilisation and manipulation), exercise therapy, electrotherapy (ultrasound, interferential, TENS), moist hot packs and cryotherapy (ice application) for treatment.
Patient education is a fundamental part of our treatment in order to encourage and achieve patients’ independence.
The aims of the treatment are to:
- Relieve pain and stiffness
