Physiotherapy treatment

• Detailed assessments
• Appropriate treatment

To reduce pain and swelling, assist in maintaining and improving mobility and function through all stages of injury in order to restore full function. Our clinics are well equipped to provide treatment of soft tissue injuries, orthopaedic conditions and joint disorders.

Hydrotherapy

Facilities at the Welshpool centre include a hydrotherapy pool for patients who would benefit from exercising in a weight free environment during the acute phase or as part of physical conditioning during the rehabilitation phase.

Clinical Pilates

Our Malaga clinic offers individual Clinical Pilates programs through the use of a reformer or floor exercises on a mat or Swiss ball. Our Pilates trained physiotherapist is able to provide Pilates Programs focused on increasing core stability, therefore minimising risk of injury at work, home and in the sports field.

Benefits of Pilates

• dynamic and static stretching
• muscle/tendon elasticity
• range of movement
• improves postural awareness
• specific emphasis on concentration, control and breath

Those looking for a balanced and balancing exercise program swear by the Pilates method and its unique way to combine stretching and core strengthening in every single move.

Realtime Ultrasound

Realtime Ultrasound is a useful diagnostic tool when assessing weakness and control of core stability musculature, where this weakness and lack of control has lead to back pain. Realtime Ultrasound can also be used in conjunction with other treatment to aid in the retraining of these muscles in a number of different postures and functional positions.

The retraining is very specific and is proven to help provide relief from certain types of back pain and also prevent recurrence. From the office worker to the heavy duty worker, this treatment has the potential to be very beneficial.

Realtime Ultrasound is available at our Malaga and Welshpool branches.

A Pre-Placement Assessment

Looks at a prospective employee in terms of their overall physical risk of injury in comparison to the job tasks

An assessment:

• Includes a greater functional risk component pertinent to the specific job description and reports on any risk

• When indicated includes a cardio- respiratory fitness test (remote sites/Hot humid conditions).

• Acts as a guide to determine the likelihood of a prospective employee developing pain/dysfunction due to repetitive strain as a result of the required manual handling and the critical tasks which make up the duties.

Work capacity evaluation aerobic fitness/cycle test.

These pre-employment physical assessments are designed as an added value component of a pre-employment medical examination or a stand alone fit for work assessment.

They include an education segment and work hardening on correct manual handling techniques based on the employment sought.

These assessments can assist with return to work programmes and with effective task progressions as well.

Physical rehabilitation programs

Following injury you may require a special physical rehabilitation program set up in conjunction with your work, home or sports activities. Carepoint Physiotherapists are able to manage and set up a tailored programme at a convenient venue for you (in one of our clinics or a gymnasium of your choice).

Our gym programs are based on your physical capacity assessment. Using objective measures we are able to progress your program. Regular objective assessments reflect your improvement allowing us to set and achieve realistic goals especially in a return to work programme.

Our Physiotherapists monitor and update your progress according to your physical condition at each progress assessment.

These programs are designed to run parallel with your increase in life/work activities/training so that there is a smooth transition from injury to full physical function.
