Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy in Littlehampton

Physiotherapy in Littlehampton

Physiotherapy aims to restore optimum movement to the joints of the body, helping to improve overall function and mobility. When someone is affected by injury, illness or disability, Physiotherapists can help provide treatment through manipulation, mobilisation, soft tissue therapy, exercises & stretches, manual therapy, education and advice.

Every day thousands of people visit Physiotherapists as a way to stay healthy, increase flexibility and rehabilitate from injury and to improve their sports performance.

What is Physiotherapy? 

Physiotherapy is a style of manual therapy that aims to rehabilitate injured and dysfunctional joints. Its methods encourage optimum mobility and stability of joints, keeping soft tissue loose but supportive and educating at every step. Physiotherapy includes a broad range of techniques, each with its own role in helping aid your recovery and improving your comfort. Physiotherapy in Littlehampton, West Sussex.

Physiotherapy Techniques

Manual Therapy
Manual therapy is a wide scope practice that includes joint mobilisation and manipulation, to help treat soft tissues and joint structures, increase range of motion, reduce pain, reduce soft tissue inflammation, relax the joint structures, encourage soft tissue repair and improve overall function. 

Soft Tissue Therapy
This includes various massage and stretching techniques designed to ease joint tension, encourage normal movement, improve blood flow, help lymph drainage and allow the body to return to normal function. 

Taping
Taping is a technique whereby a specialist tape is applied directly to the skin, helping to encourage and maintain a stable position of bones and muscles during joint and soft tissue recovery. 

Acupuncture
Acupuncture can be a great help for releasing overly tight and sensitive muscles, especially when they are too tender for the pressure of the massage. Most will barely feel the needles but notice the difference almost immediately. Acupuncture is typically used alongside other soft tissue and manual therapies.

Pre-habilitation
Prehab is a proactive approach to avoiding pain and injury. It's as simple as an additional exercise, or range of motion exercise that is done to ensure that an injury does not occur. This refers to improving your functional capacity through increased physical activity before an anticipated surgery.

Exercise Rehabilitation
Your Physiotherapist has a wealth of varying rehabilitative stretches and exercises designed to help support your body back to normal function.  

 

Your Physiotherapist will use gentle and effective techniques to help encourage your body’s own healing mechanisms.

Your First Physiotherapy Appointment

At your first Physiotherapy appointment at Littlehampton Natural Health Centre, we like to spend some time getting to know you, discussing your reasons for visiting the clinic and what you are hoping to achieve. We will complete a physical examination, assess the movement of your body and perform specific tests to help determine the cause of your symptoms. 
-
Once we are happy we have a good understanding of the cause of your issues, we will explain our findings, recommended care plan and assuming we are both happy, we can then follow through with the first stage of your treatment. Throughout treatment, we will also recommend various stretches and exercises to help aid your recovery.

What's Next?

Our main aim at the Littlehampton Natural Health Centre is to improve your quality of life. Whether this is through reducing your pain, increasing flexibility, improving posture, maintaining a healthy body or increasing your performance. We help people manage life in a more positive manner.
 
Before we can offer any treatment or advice we need to find out some details about you. Your Physiotherapist will run through a detailed personal history including details on your symptoms, any medications, operations or past treatments you have had. We will then perform a physical examination to get a good overview of how your body is functioning. This physical will include assessing your joint range of motion, muscle strength, gait, amongst more specific orthopaedic tests. 
 
At the end of the examination, we will explain any findings and our treatment plan. If you are still happy to proceed we will then proceed with treatment.
