BHN’s physiotherapy clinic

Conditions that can benefit from Physiotherapy:

Pain in your muscles or joints

Your muscle strength and joint range of motion will be assessed, as well as techniques and exercises for reducing pain both in the short and long term. In order to get the most out of your treatment, we will support you as you learn and progress with the program.

Chronic pain

Chronic pain can affect your sleep patterns and your ability to function. Our goal is to provide you with treatments that reduce the intensity of pain and reduce its impact on your quality of life. Relaxation techniques, goal-setting, and ways to improve sleep quality may be introduced.

Arthritis 

Arthritis can affect your daily activities by causing joint stiffness and muscle weakness. Our team of physiotherapists will provide you with the knowledge and exercises you need to improve your mobility and self-confidence. Through a program and the use of special equipment or training, physiotherapy will gradually help you gain strength.

Diabetes

Diabetes can be prevented and managed in many ways. Our physiotherapists will evaluate your condition and design a program to help you burn calories, improve circulation, and manage insulin more efficiently.

Management of musculoskeletal injuries

As part of musculoskeletal physiotherapy, you will be treated for disorders that affect how your muscles and joints work together. Providing you with the right strategies to manage your condition, we will devise a treatment plan to relieve or reduce your pain. Flexibility, muscle strength, and coordination can be improved through physiotherapy.

Assessment and education of posture

Maintaining good posture requires the right lifestyle habits, as well as learning the correct movements and positions. You can improve your posture and possibly avoid future medical bills with our specialised techniques and suggested changes to your day-to-day activities.

Difficulty doing daily activities or walking 

Your daily tasks and activities will be made much easier with physiotherapy treatment. You can build your strength, improve your movement skills, and improve your balance with our individualised physiotherapy treatments.

Prescription and assessment of walking aids

Our physiotherapists will decide whether or not to prescribe walking aids based on the assessment of your cognition, cardiovascular system, balance, and gait. People who fall frequently or struggle with balance and stability can benefit from them.

The improvement of strength and fitness, balance, or unsteadiness

If you need to improve your muscle strength or endurance, increase range of motion or flexibility, or improve your balance, your physiotherapist can help.

Prescriptions for individual exercise

Physiotherapists can tailor exercises to help improve your condition. There are some exercises that target large muscle groups, while others improve blood circulation to muscles and heart function. The exercise prescription we create for you will be tailored to your specific needs.
