Physiotherapy
Chartered
Physiotherapists use their detailed
knowledge of how joints and
muscles work to assess
the cause of pain or injury. This may be as a result of sports,
arthritis, accidents, or just general wear and tear.
The aim of
physiotherapy treatment is to promote
healing and restore normal
function and movement
using a variety of different techniques. Typically these may include
soft tissue mobilisation, electro therapy, and specific exercise
programmes to improve your strength, flexibility and general health.
Physiotherapists
can also offer ergonomic
assessments in the work place and advice on manual handling.
Physiotherapy aims to help you work towards a
healthier and
pain free lifestyle.
Helen Hall, MCSP
Chartered Physiotherapist
I
trained at St
Thomas’ Hospital, London
and have worked almost exclusively in orthopaedic and musculo-skeletal
medicine ever since, both in the NHS and private practice.
After
working in specilist teaching hospitals in both London and Bristol I
moved to Fairford to develop my own private practice which
included the treatment on injured horses and greyhounds!
Following
a short career
break to spend time with my 2 children I undertook a 4 year research
study into falls in
the elderly, then returned to private practice where my
interests
encompass all musculo-skeletal problems causing pain or poor function,
particularly sports injuries in both children and adults, occupational
health and work-related disorders, whiplash injury and general mobilty
problems.
I am a Certified
Kinesio Taping specialist and studied
Pilates with the Australian Physiotherapy Pilates Institute.
I
am a member of the Society
of
Orthopaedic Medicine, the Association
of
Chartered Physiotherapists in Occupational Health and Ergonomics,
the Physiotherapy Pain
Association and
the Organisation of
Chartered Physiotherapists in
Private Practice
(OCPPP).
I am Registered with the
Health Professions
Council and a Member of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapists
