Physiotherapy in Herts and Essex

Our physiotherapist helps people who have physical problems caused by illness, accident or ageing. An important part of a physiotherapist‘s role involves understanding the cultural, psychological and social factors that affect their patients.

Physiotherapy, sometimes referred to as physio, helps people to improve their range of movement in order to promote health and well being. This can help people to live more independently.

In particular, physiotherapists concentrate on problems that affect muscles, bones, the heart, circulation and lungs. Physiotherapy involves a range of treatments, including manipulation, massage, exercise and electrotherapy.

Physiotherapy techniques can improve the ability to use parts of the body that have been affected by disease or injury. For example, arthritis is a long-term condition that causes painful and stiff joints. Physiotherapy can help to keep the joints mobile and strengthen the surrounding muscles.
