Our Aim

The aim of our service at Fortfield Physiotherapy is to carefully consider the cause/causes of your symptoms through listening to your story and completing an assessment of your physical presentation.

Together we can then prepare a plan aimed at reducing discomfort and restoring activity levels in the short term. Long term goals are aimed at reducing the risk of recurrence.

This plan may include educating you about your condition and about some of the best ways to manage your symptoms. Where indicated, we can use many pain relieving treatment techniques to help accelerate recovery. All treatment plans will most likely include a progressive home exercise programme. We tailor-make exercise programmes and send instructional videos to your email/phone, in order to make them easier to follow them at home.
