Biomechanics is the study of human movement. Each and every physiotherapy assessment at The Rowans Physiotherapy Practice will incorporate biomechanical analysis in order to determine what has caused or is causing your injury. The aim is to prevent the problem from recurring, so you will be given strategies and exercises based on the assessment findings. We look at simple movements like how you walk, jump and squat, which gives us valuable information in determining the underlying cause. Our screening appointments are relevant to all of those engaged in sport, and are particularly useful in the pre season period. The testing procedures we employ are those used in elite sport by the national governing bodies and are supported by best evidence, which help predict injuries before they occur. The aim is to develop a self-management plan where the individual can work on exercises specific to their needs, thereby reducing injury risk and maximising performance. If appropriate and relevant, we will film you performing certain movements and using software programmes to analyse your movements in more detail.

PRICE 1 hour £55 ( to include report and exercise program)

After the initial assessment treatments include;

• Manual therapy – This includes joint mobilisation and manipulation, soft tissue and myfascial release.
• Exercises – Based on the findings of the assessment and examination all  patients will receive a home exercise programme . Exercises will address flexibility, strength, control and balance restoring normal movement and function.
• Electrotherapy – Therapeutic ultrasound has been used by physiotherapists since the 1940’s to promote healing by increasing local blood flow. Recent evidence has confirmed that low dose ultrasound can promote bone healing in delayed or non healing fractures.
• Functional rehabilitation – In addition to restoring normal movement and strength, the most valuable and effective treatment is functional rehabilitation. This takes the individual’s’ specific examination findings, along with the functional deficits (such as an inability to kneel) in order to return fully to the demands of daily life and/or a specific sport or activity.
• Advice and education – Each and every person assessed will receive advice and education in order to self manage the presenting problem as effectively as possible. Our aim is not just to relieve symptoms, but to get to the root cause of the problem, thereby reducing the risk of symptoms returning. Our therapists have occupational health experience so can advise you on your posture and ergonomics at work.
