Here’s another spotlight on our Physiotherapy services.

SCARS!

Some are tiny but can cause problems, others are bigger and be totally fine.

Physiotherapy scar treatment can help when a scar isn’t healing well, is causing pain, itching, causing puckering or tethering. This might be on the scar that you see and/or also underneath the layers of skin/tissue/muscle.

We see lots after surgery- we teach scar massage, we have silicone products and oils in stock and we have the mighty Lymphatouch that can work its magic! We can even acupuncture scars- this helps with blood flow and healing.

Know some one who has had a C section? We can teach scar care and post natal advice and recovery.

We work on some as early as 6 weeks and some that are years old.

Message us any queries to clinic@physiovitality.co.uk

Here’s one of our scars before and after following one treatment of the Lymphatouch.

We are not very good at marketing what we do! Mainly because we’re so busy, but this month we are aiming to get out website to be much more detailed and include more about the services we offer: including an exciting new service!

In the mean time we’ll do some posts to let you know a bit more about what treatments help with what.

Today is about the amazing FOCUSED SHOCKWAVE device!!

This bit of kit is amazing. We have had our Storz T top focused shockwave device in clinic now for 5 years and we would not be without it.

What does it do?

Uses high intensity sound waves in a very focused manner that we direct into specific tissue to regenerate cells and repair. This reduces pain and accelerates recovery.

Diagnosis of a problem comes first and then we can assess if focused shockwave is an appropriate treatment.

Whats it good for?

Persistent/stubborn/chronic pain -
Either from injury and overuse eg to tendons, muscles or ligaments or damage from conditions such as osteoarthritis (OA) or bone injuries (stress fractures or oedema).

It is a specialist treatment provided by a practitioner with advanced training.

What are the most common conditions that we treat with FSW?

Heel pain (plantarfasciitis)
Achilles tendonitis
Osteoarthritis - knee, thumb, hip, low back, big toe.
Trigger finger
Tennis/golfers elbow
Hip bursitis (greater trochentaric pain syndrome)
Wrist tendinitis

If you like a bit of science - here’s some from the international society of shockwave medicine below.

International experts have published new guidelines on shock wave therapy in sports medicine. The recommendations provide practical guidance on indications, energy levels, procedures, and contraindications for extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) in musculoskeletal disorders.
