Chartered Physiotherapy |
 |
 |
Physiotherapy helps restore movement and function when someone is affected by injury, illness or
disease. Physiotherapy is centred mainly on the use of physical means in the treatment and management of injuries,
illnesses and disability. Core treatment modalities include but are not limited to manual (hands on) therapy, exercise/physical
activity and electrotherapy. Physiotherapy is a science-based profession and takes a 'whole person' approach to health and
well-being, which includes the person's general lifestyle. |
A Chartered Physiotherapist is a practitioner who is a university graduate with hospital-based training that has comprehensive
knowledge in anatomy and physiology, along with specialist training in the assessment and treatment of muscle and joint pain. |

Orthotic Prescription |
Orthotic devices are specialised shoe inserts which help to realign and improve foot
posture and biomechanics, decrease pain and prevent injury. Orthotics may help in the treatment of chronic
foot pain and lower limb injuries, correct alignment of your feet, knees, hips and lower back, off-load areas
of high stress and give better functional support. At Athboy Physiotherapy and Sports Clinic our practitoners
are qualified in biomechanical assessment and orthotic prescription and work closely with PPL Biomechanics to
offer off the shelf and custom made specialised orthotics. Our video below shows how a custom made orthotic cast
is made by us and then sent to the PPL lab to be manufactured. Your therapist will be able to tell you if
you do require orthotics and which type would suit you best. |
