Fitness and Training

Physiotherapists are in a unique position in the area of health. They have hands-on skills, using a variety of manual techniques to assess dysfunction and then to help relieve pain. These include joint mobilisations, manipulation, massage, needling, taping, orthotic prescription and many more.

The usual way to get a decent daily workout is to join a gym so you can pound the cardio machines and lift weights. But you don’t need fancy machines, bulky equipment and a monthly membership fee to keep fit.
