Physiotherapy
What is physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy helps restore movement and function when someone is affected by injury, illness, or disability. At Physiotherapy & Wellness, we take a holistic approach, starting with a comprehensive clinical assessment to provide an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan. Our hands-on care includes joint mobilisation, soft tissue therapy, taping, and acupuncture, alongside exercise prescription and rehabilitation. We continuously reassess your progress and, if needed, refer you to our network of trusted specialists to ensure your recovery is optimised.
What is physiotherapy?
Our physiotherapist’s in Winchester and Alresford believe manual therapy is an important part of treatment used to treat musculoskeletal disorders. Manual therapy includes manipulation, mobilisation, and massage.
Manipulation
A low amplitude, passive, high velocity thrust technique to the spine or peripheral joints. The aim of manipulation is to restore movement, function and relieve pain.
Mobilisation
Similarly to manipulation, the purpose of mobilisation to the spine or peripheral joints is to restore movement, function and relieve pain. Mobilisation is best described as a skilled passive movement which can vary in terms of speed, amplitude and direction.
Massage
The rubbing or kneading of soft tissue to relieve pain and tension. Massage is used to improve function, promote relaxation, aid the healing process and inhibiy motor neurone excitability.
