Treatments

Treatment can only be determined by a thorough and holistic initial assessment that puts the patient and their goals at the forefront of care. Sessions can be given in the clinic, in a patient own home or virtually. Physiotherapy is an evidenced based profession and as such is results driven. For some people a successful and realistic result will be complete resolution of their symptoms and for others it will be learning how to live well with their condition. The treatment will therefore vary greatly between individuals. This list is by no means an exhaustive list but is an example of the treatment available at Lucy Tarn Physiotherapy
