Our Philosophy
At Bodybalance Physiotherapy our philosophy is a holistic approach to patient centred care ensuring that the patient is viewed as a whole individual rather than just ‘body parts’.

Whatever your needs our detailed assessment process will ensure that we identify the cause of the problem rather than just treating the symptoms. Evidence over the years has indicated that there are multiple pathogies that can affect the same joint. ‘Anterior knee pain’ for example affects 60% of athletes and 25% of the general public. Treatment of this condition is not as straight forward as ‘strengthening the knee’. The Chartered Physiotherapists at Bodybalance will ensure that you are comprehensively assessed; this may require looking at the foot, hip and back in addition to how you walk, run and play sport. It is also important to understand your fitness levels, how you train, your motivation, your footwear, as well as your knee!

It is our aim to empower you to manage your own condition to ensure that you do not become reliant on physiotherapy.
