The Science of Physiotherapy 

​

Physiotherapy is the medical discipline of human movement and performance. All the systems of the body influence how you move and a physiotherapist ensures you recover, enhance and prevent injury to these systems. At Dorset Health & Wellbeing we treat across the spectrum of musculoskeletal issues, rheumatology and orthopaedics. We also specialise in the sporting pelvis and running but we are very proud to be a nationally recognised centre for paddling related injuries. 

We are an innovative and modern practice offering opportunities in virtual clinics as well as face to face interventions with the use of technology to enhance your care and ensure you receive the best programs of rehabilitation. We also still offer all the traditional services from acupuncture to manual therapy and massage. We can also support your injury or prevent further problems through sports bracing, and strapping or through our protective rehab programs. 

We also have strong working links to the local NHS and private practices as well as GP clinics. We can also refer direct for medical imaging at the local BMI hospitals. 

​

The common type of problems we regularly see in the clinic are back pain, neck injury, whiplash, ankle sprains, knee pain, running injury, shoulder problems, tennis elbow, SIJ dysfunction, post pregnancy related injury, growth spurt problems, and many many more issues. We even help with breathing for conditions like asthma. If you are not sure your condition can be helped by physio we are happy to chat to you about your problem first.
