Physiotherapy treatment involves reducing pain and stiffness and improving movement by using soft tissue and joint mobilisation/manipulation plus exercise. These techniques facilitate the body's healing process and restore normal function. In addition your physiotherapist may use electronic therapies such as interferential treatment and ultrasound - which stimulate cellular activity and healing and provide pain relief. Mobilisation and Manipulation Involves passively moving your joint or joints to restore full movement and to stretch the surrounding soft tissue. This reduces muscle spasm and releases endorphins (your body's natural pain relievers). What is Sports Massage It is the treatment of tight and painful soft tissue using a variety of massage techniques. Also ultra sound and stretching may be used where necessary. Advice is also available for rehabilitation and stretching for flexibility.
