Orthopaedic Physiotherapy

Your management will depend on your diagnosis and the stage of the condition. It will also depend how it is affecting you in your life, what goals you have set yourself and how you want to be managed. Your physiotherapist will outline the optimal management for your problem based on these factors and in accordance with the current evidence based guidelines. We will be happy to liaise with your consultant or GP if required. Physis Physiotherapy are a registered supplier of Ossur braces and supports. If required we can supply and fit a brace if needed. If strength improvements are a big part of the rehabilitation plan, we can assess and train you on one of only two isokinetic machines in Edinburgh. This can be hugely beneficial in getting the most out of your strength programme. You may need a check in to see where you are strength wise in your recovery or an ongoing training programme for a period of time (usually 4-8 weeks) but challenging your self on the Biodex will give a real boost to your recovery. Many patients will actually do really well with self management approaches when given the right advice and rehabilitation programme. This takes discipline to adhere to a long term plan. But you can overcome your condition / pain based on the information given to you from a single session. This may not be possible for many problems and a course of treatment maybe the better option. As an ethically driven and evidence based practice, we believe in putting you at the heart of your healthcare needs. Please contact us if you have any questions about how we can help you with your orthopaedic related pain or to make an appointment at any of our four Edinburgh Physiotherapy clinics.
