| The techniques
and skills offered at Berkhamsted Physiotherapy and Sports Injury Clinic
aim to treat the person as an individual, not a symptom.
We use a holistic approach
to each person, in order to provide the best care possible regardless of
age or physical condition.
Traditionally, physiotherapy
has been seen as providing exercises to treat conditions, yet like
osteopaths and chiropractors we can manipulate joints. To comprehensively
treat a condition, we may also use mobilisation of joints and nerves, a
muscle balance approach, electrotherapy and of course exercises.
At Berkhamsted Physiotherapy
Clinic, we may also examine the mechanics of your feet and if appropriate
provide inserts for your shoes. These are individually cast and manufactured
to improve the way your foot works and alleviate the pain, which may be
felt not only in your feet but in knees, hips or spine. Although
most obvious in sports people, the benefits of these orthotics can be huge
in any person, if appropriately given.
The working environment or
the way in which things are done, can often cause great physical problems,
therefore an important component to our approach is to examine ways in
which changes here may give great benefits.
