Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy is a exercise-based musculoskeletal therapy that helps with pain and injury.
A Physiotherapist focuses on how muscles, joints, nerves, and connective tissues work together — and how pain or injury can affect the way you move and function day to day.
What happens during a Physiotherapy appointment?
A Physiotherapist will take time to listen and ask a few easy questions about your pain. Then they’ll gently check how you move, conducting a few simple tests.
After that, they will explain your diagnosis, inform you of your treatment options, and tell you how long your diagnosis should take to heal.

What to expect from treatment
Some people have come to expect physiotherapists to only prescribe exercises. At Formby Injury & Rehab Clinic our Physiotherapists will not only prescribe exercises but also use gentle massage, light joint movements and sometimes quicker techniques to help calm the uncomfortable area.
To top it all off, we work with a prevention mindset. Our Physiotherapists will provide you with simple, evidence-based exercises that fit into your day to make it easier for you to live a pain free life.
Physiotherapy training & governance
For your peace of mind, we’re committed to professional development, high ethical standards of practice & research. Physiotherapy has been statutorily regulated since 1960 under the professions supplementary to medicine act. By law, a Physiotherapist must be registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) in the UK.
