Does Physiotherapy hurt?
Many people avoid Physiotherapy because they are scared of the pain that it might cause. For the duration of the Physiotherapy you can rest, as for the most part, you shouldn’t experience any pain. The majority of people who have experienced Physiotherapy have said that the treatment does not hurt, however some may say that the treatment causes some initial discomfort. This all depends on the type of Physiotherapy that you experience and the problem that you have. As you progress in care, you will find that the discomfort eases away. Even if you do experience any kind of pain, the long term benefits will make it worth it. Physiotherapy can help alleviate chronic or acute pain after as many as three sessions. We advise you to not be put off by the risk of pain. If you have any more queries similar to this then call us on 01344625475.

We promise the same quality for all of our treatments and for nothing less than an outcome of health improvement. To help you choose the correct treatment for you, we have listed and explained the services we provide alongside Physiotherapy:

Osteopathy is much more than just treating bad backs. At the centre of Osteopathy is the belief that the body operates as a single unit in which structure governs function. Our treatment will help you to regain full balance in your body and improve the flexibility of the joints. To find out more information about Osteopathy and how it can benefit you, please click here.
Sports Massage
A sports massage is a deeper form of massage to address the soft tissues of the body. Good quality blood supply and eliminating waste products associated with energy production are key for our connective tissues’ wellbeing. As the title makes clear, Sports Massages are excellent for people who take part in a lot of sport. To read more information about Sports Massages, click here.
Cranial Osteopathy
Cranial Osteopathy, despite its name, does not always primarily focus on the treatment of the head of the skull. Cranial Osteopathy treatments take place on the entire body and you will often find your practitioner working on your lower back and limbs.
