ACCURATE PHYSIOTHERAPY ASSESSMENTS
Understanding your condition through accurate assessment and diagnosis enables you to help yourself with the treatment process and prevent further re-occurrences. The body is very good at healing itself and occasionally just needs pushing in the right direction. Daily stresses and strains due to bad posture and work can develop into serious problems but these can be rectified with the appropriate guidance.
