Physiotherapy

What is physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy is one of the allied health professions and is performed by physiotherapists. It focusses on maximising quality of life and maintaining and improving human movement and function to promote physical health, which we recognise is closely linked with mental health. Physiotherapists use their manual examination skills, and training in movement pattern assessment alongside a thorough case history, to diagnose, manage and treat patients to help them maximise their physical potential.

The profession uses science-based evidence to underpin clinical reasoning skills to inform practice and delivery of treatment. At CSPC Leeds, physiotherapists take a strategic, holistic and individualised approach for each patient, focussing on their needs. Whilst our physiotherapists provide advice and rehabilitation after operations and injury, they also have a passion for treating people who want to stay physically healthy, enabling them to enjoy life to the full, no matter what their age or aspiration.

Amongst other things, a CSPC physiotherapist will assess:-

$

Joint range of motion

$
Flexibility
$
How you move
$
Functional balance and stability
$
Walking and running gait
$
Muscle strength
$
Breathing pattern

Physiotherapists are autonomous practitioners, who are able to treat various systems of the body, and the physical issues that can arise due to dysfunction in any of them and how that can affect the rest of the body. In particular, they treat the musculoskeletal system (soft tissues, joints, bones and movement), the neuromuscular system (brain and nervous system) and cardiovascular and respiratory systems. At CSPC, we treat these systems where appropriate with a variety of effective hands-on treatments.

PATIENT TESTIMONIALS
Over the years I have worked with a number of the physios at CSPC, I have found them to be up to date with their thinking and treatments, willing to share their knowledge with one and other and clients. I always recommend CSPC to friends and clients. They have helped hold body and soul together, thank you.

I am absolutely delighted with the shockwave treatment I have received at CSPC physiotherapy Clinic and the results it has produced. Each session has measurably reduced the size of my bursitis to the point it has almost gone, with corresponding improvement in my range of movement and comfort in the affected area. It has also ameliorated calcification in my shoulder. A great big thank you to Alison and Julianna for your help!

I cannot believe how well I feel. Four years ago, I felt consigned to the ‘rust pile’, today I feel ‘shiny’ and ready for the next challenge. CSPC can seriously alter your way of life …for the better.

Within the one hour appointment I received hands on treatment that relieved most of my pain and by the evening I was breathing and moving pain free. By the following morning I was back to ‘full dad duties’ much to the surprise of my partner, who with seeing how quickly I had recovered, started to think I’d made it all up to have a good rest!

After a long car journey to Leeds, I arrived with some discomfort in my upper back that worsened over the next day to the point that I could hardly breathe or move without feeling excruciating pain.

I’d done a gym session a week or so previously and had felt some discomfort in my back but rested and thought nothing of it. A long car journey combined with caring for two young children resulted in me having excruciating back pain and if it wasn’t for getting an emergency appointment at CSPC physiotherapy clinic I would not have made it home and probably checked myself into A&E!

Thanks CSPC physiotherapy for getting me back to my best – super quickly!
