Orthopaedic

Physiotherapy can be extremely beneficial in a wide range of orthopaedic conditions which can be present from birth or occur during childhood.

Such conditions typically include:

• Positional talipes
• Torticollis and Sternomastoid Tumour
• Scoliosis
• Sever’s disease
• Osgood Schlatter disease
• Perthes disease
• Patella dislocation

The other category of conditions are those which occur as a result of injury including sprains and fractures.

Following assessment specific advise will be given including, where appropriate, rest, ice application, use of anti-inflammatories and pain relief, specific strengthening and stretching exercises, positioning, gait re-education, balance work and return to activity.
