What is a Physiotherapist?
Physiotherapists are medical professionals trained in the management and treatment of a wide range of medical conditions. They assess patients holistically, considering a patients social, psychological and medical history alongside a clinical “hands-on” assessment.
Once identifying the issue, physiotherapists put patients at the centre of any treatment plan, which means basing treatment around the patients lifestyle, medical history and personal preferences.
Often for many conditions there are a multitude of treatment options, including techniques such as clinical exercise, rehabilitation programmes, patient education, cryotherapy, hydrotherapy, ultrasound and manual therapy. Manual therapy can include massage, stretching, frictions, Myo-fascial release, mobilisations, manipulations, trigger point therapy, neural glides and soft tissue release techniques.
Jordan says “I am truly excited to be part of the team at Cryotherapy North East offering physiotherapy and sports therapy alongside Cryotherapy. A number of studies have concluded that Cryotherapy can improve the speed that patients return to activity.
As we all understand how important physical activity is for physical as well as mental health, it’s truly fantastic to be able to offer the benefits of Cryotherapy, Physiotherapy and Sports Therapy under one roof and help people improve their sports performance, support individuals with pain management and rehabilitation, and help people return to optimum physical activity levels much quicker.
