Frequently asked questions about our sports injury clinic in Uxbridge

What is physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy is a healthcare profession focused on restoring movement and function to the body, normally in order to aid in recovery from injury, illness or disability. Regardless of your activity level, background or physical condition, physiotherapy serves to improve your mobility, alleviate any chronic or acute pain you may be suffering and enhance your overall wellbeing.

How do I know if I need physiotherapy?

This depends on the needs of the individual. If you are considering if you need physiotherapy, ask yourself:

Are you experiencing persistent pain that interferes with your daily activities?

• If so, has the pain been present for more than a few weeks?
• Is the pain affecting your sleep or mood?

Do you have difficulty performing everyday tasks due to stiffness?

• If so, have you noticed a decrease in your ability to move freely when compared to before?
• Do you experience pain or discomfort when moving or positioning your body in certain ways?

Are you recovering from an injury or surgery?

• If so, is your recovery slower than you expected?
• Do you have concerns about returning to your previous activity levels safely and effectively?

Have you been diagnosed with a chronic condition that affects your mobility like arthritis or osteoporosis?

If your answer to any of the above is ‘yes', it is worth reaching out to a physiotherapist for an assessment.
