What is Physiotherapy?
Musculoskeletal disorders of the body can involve the bones, joints, discs, cartilage, ligaments, muscles, tendons, connective tissue or nerves. Physiotherapy is one of the best scientifically proven approaches to combat the discomfort and functional restrictions associated with ailments of this nature.
Physiotherapists assess and diagnose the problem, then plan and administer treatment programmes that aim to restore function and minimise symptoms after disease or injury.

Our Physiotherapy team are all highly qualified and are members of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP) and the Health Professionals Council (HPC). Through professional training, our Physiotherapists understand how and why structures move and why pain and injury occur and are therefore very well equipped to address musculoskeletal problems.
Our Approach
It is preferable for physiotherapy to be administered immediately after a musculoskeletal injury. Intervention during the first 24-28 hours can help to limit the damage caused and ensure that it is not permanent or of long duration. However, long standing chronic pain and problems can also be helped with appropriate physiotherapy management. So even if your injury occurred some time ago the First4phyio team will still be able to help.
