What is Physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy helps restore movement and function when someone is affected by injury, illness or disability. We will help to improve mobility in affected joints and muscles as well as helping to relieve pain and discomfort. Physiotherapy can also improve sporting performance, and help to prevent future injuries, stress and strain, and therefore the need for lengthy rehabilitation.
How can we help?
On your first visit to West Kirby Physiotherapy, our therapists will assess you thoroughly to properly diagnose your problem and then discuss the different treatment options that are available with you.
Some examples of the wide range of techniques that we may use to aid your recovery include:
