PATIENT INFORMATION & PHYSIOTHERAPY

PATIENT INFORMATION & LEAFLETS

To aid our patients with information on helping you understand how we diagnose your condition, your operation, things for you to consider, keys to a successful operation, your preparation, the risks, exercises, your progression throughout your treatment and various other aspects of your procedure, we are putting together the Patient Information page that we are populating with useful downloads and leaflets. Our first leaflets can be found below:

PHYSIOTHERAPY INTRODUCTION

Physiotherapy is highly successful in treating many shoulder conditions, improving pain and function levels, and avoiding surgery in many cases.

Physiotherapy helps people suffering with upper limb conditions and post injury through movement and exercise, manual therapy, education and advice. It is an evidence and science based profession, which puts the patient at the core through education, awareness, empowerment and participation in their treatment.

It is also imperative in post-operative care to help restore movement, strength and function,
