Physiotherapy uses graded exercise and gentle movement after an operation to ease post-surgical swelling, restore range of motion and aid recovery.

Postural pain

First-line care: assessment, targeted exercise and ergonomic advice for postural pain.

Rheumatoid arthritis support (adjunct)

Physiotherapy maintains joint mobility and muscle strength, helping you protect inflamed joints and stay active during and between RA flares.

Trauma after accident or assault

Supports recovery from physical injuries sustained in the accident or assault, restoring movement, strength and confidence.

Vaginismus

Pelvic floor physiotherapy teaches awareness and control of the muscles, using relaxation techniques and graded dilator work.

Vertigo support

Vestibular rehabilitation exercises retrain the balance system and the brain to compensate, easing dizziness and unsteadiness.

Weight management (behaviour change support)

Physiotherapy designs safe, manageable activity plans, helping you increase movement and energy expenditure for weight management.

Asthma-related anxiety support (adjunct)

Respiratory physiotherapy teaches breathing-control techniques that ease the hyperventilation and dyspnoea that fuel anxiety in asthma.

Bunions

Physiotherapy uses toe and foot exercises plus gait advice to improve alignment and reduce strain on the bunion joint.

Chronic illness adjustment

Physiotherapy helps maintain mobility, manage fatigue and pace activity, supporting confidence in daily life with a long-term condition.

Chronic pain

Graded exercise and education are central to managing chronic pain.

Endometriosis support (adjunct)

Pelvic-floor physiotherapy targets muscle dysfunction and pain patterns, an evidence-based way to improve function in endometriosis.

Fatigue

Physiotherapy supports graded, paced movement so deconditioning is reversed gently without triggering the crashes that often follow overexertion.

Headaches

Targets neck posture, weak or tight muscles and movement habits that drive cervicogenic and tension-type headaches.
