By providing a comprehensive holistic assessment within the home setting, I can formulate a specific programme just for you. This involves listening to your needs and wishes and working with you to reach your goals.

Most treatment plans involve altering the way you are doing certain things and providing an exercise regime to practise regularly. Improving balance, strength and mobility are often major aims. If you are suffering from pain then this may be addressed with exercises, massage, heat or cold treatments, TENS machines, hydrotherapy in a pool and advice.

Advice can also be provided on the safe use of walking aids such as a stick, crutches, or a frame, alongside to simple adaptations within the home setting that can make everyday tasks easier and reduce risk of falls.
