Reflex zone therapy
Light touch massage applied to points on the feet or hands, corresponding to Meridians, based on a physical diagnosis. Can be used to treat pain, increase movement eg shoulder joint, stress or boost the immune system by treating the whole body commonly through the feet.
Musculoskeletal
Fast relief of Low back or neck pain, Whiplash, headaches is achieved using Maitland joint mobilisation and manipulation, Cyriax Manipulation, Mulligan techniques, Mckenzie self- mobilising techniques, Myofascial release, KT taping, supported by appropriate electrical machines eg Ultrasound', Interferential,Low level laser.
Sue has trained with the APPI in Pilates, and often teaches patients appropriate exercises as part of postural re-education
Orthopaedic
Rehabilitate quickly and and feel more confident particularly after hip and knee replacement, shoulder surgery.
Sports Injuries
Early treatment speeds recovery using advanced Physiotherapy techniques & rehabilitation exercises, combined with Myofascial release, Kinesiotaping, ultrasound, laser or Deep oscillation therapy where appropriate.
Neurology
Sue has considerable experience in treating patients recovering from Strokes, Parkinsons and Multiple Sclerosis and has completed postgraduate training in The Bobath method.
Respiratory
Chest Physiotherapy includes breathing exercises and assistance in clearing phlegm perhaps after a chest infection or for Asthma.
Electrotherapy
Ultrasound
Therapeutic ultrasound is a modality that has been used by physiotherapists since the 1940s. Ultrasound is applied using the head of an ultrasound probe that is placed in direct contact with your skin via a transmission coupling gel.
Therapeutic ultrasound has been shown to cause increases in:
-
healing rates
-
tissue relaxation
-
tissue heating
-
local blood flow
-
scar tissue breakdown.
Interferential
Interferential Current Therapy (IFC) is a noninvasive therapy indicated for the symptomatic relief from, and management of, chronic intractable pain and post-surgical and post-trauma acute pain. It provides a safe and effective alternative to pharmacological approaches to pain control.
Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)
LLLT is designed to help the body’s own repair processes in cases of chronic and long term conditions. Low level laser therapy aims to heal through increasing and improving the healing function, resulting in:
-
faster healing of damage
-
increase in tensile strength of repaired tissue
-
stimulation of the immune system
-
pain relief
Deep oscillation therapy(Hivamat)
The HIVAMAT gets its name from a description of what it does: (HI) Histological (VA) Variable (MA) Manual (T) Technique. In other words, this Deep Oscillation Therapy piece of equipment is a revolutionary therapeutic device that can treat swelling, relieve soft tissue pain and help an injury recover faster.
