What does it involve?
Treatment may involve exercise programs to improve mobility and strengthen muscles, joint mobilisation, soft tissue techniques, and muscle re-education to improve control.
Your physiotherapist will work with you to determine the best course of action, according to your needs.
Our orthopaedic treatments
Orthopaedic Physiotherapy also includes pre and post operative rehabilitation of hip, shoulder and knee. We follow a scientific approach to treatment following Evidence Based Guidelines. Initially the physiotherapist will carry out a clinical assessment and this is followed by appropriate treatments. The treatment goal of the orthopaedic physiotherapist is to provide pain relief, increase joint range, improve strength and flexibility and restore the patient to full function
Pre-operative physiotherapy can help to strengthen a patient physically and cardiovascularly. In the case of a joint physiotherapy can help maintain and improve range of movement prior to surgery and educate the client on their post operative rehabilitation. This will facilitate the client to recover from surgery at a faster rate.
Spinal cord injury
The management of an individual with SCI is complex and lifelong requiring a multidisciplinary approach. A functional, goal-oriented, interdisciplinary, rehabilitation programme should enable the individual with a spinal cord injury to live as full and independent a life as possible.
Our management of individuals with SCI are;
- Assessing impairments, activity limitations and participation restrictions
- Setting goals relevant to activity limitations and participation restrictions
- Identifying key impairments that are limiting achievement of goals
- Identifying and administering physiotherapy treatments (strengthening, joint mobility, motor skill development, cardiovascular fitness, respiratory functioning, pain managing)
- Measuring the outcome of treatments
