What is Physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy is a form of healthcare focused on restoring movement, function, and reducing pain within the body. It uses manual therapy, exercise and rehabilitation techniques to help rebuild your body and restore your health.

 

At Bolton Spinal Health, physiotherapists use a variety of evidence-based treatments, including:

 

  • Manual Therapy – Joint mobilisations, soft tissue release
  • Exercise Therapy – Strengthening, flexibility, and postural correction exercises
  • IDD Therapy – Spinal decompression for chronic spinal conditions
  • Shockwave Therapy – Non-invasive treatment for soft tissue injuries
  • Taping & Bracing – Supportive taping for injury management

 

Exercise therapy alone can reduce long-term back pain by 30-40%. When combined with chiropractic care, the benefits are even more substantial. In fact, studies show that 80% of people with chronic back pain experience improvement through physiotherapy-based treatments.

What does Physiotherapy treat?

As a standalone treatment physiotherapy works to aid and help:

 

  1. Sports Injuries – Sprains/Strains
  2. Ligament injuries
  3. Post-surgical rehab
  4. Postural Dysfunction – Work-related pain
  5. Scoliosis and movement imbalances
  6. Chronic Pain Conditions – Fibromyalgia, tendinopathies, myofascial pain syndrome
  7. Post-operative Rehabilitation – Recovery from spinal surgeries or joint replacements
  8. Spinal Conditions – Herniated discs, sciatica, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis
  9. Musculoskeletal Disorders – Back pain, neck pain, joint pain, arthritis

 

Physiotherapy works incredibly alongside chiropractic care and massage therapy.

 

While chiropractic care focuses on spinal adjustments and joint alignment, physiotherapy supports these treatments by addressing muscle imbalances, improving mobility, and guiding rehabilitation.

 

Massage therapy focuses on muscle relaxation and circulation, while physiotherapy includes corrective exercises and rehabilitation to address underlying musculoskeletal conditions.

 

Together, they provide a comprehensive approach to managing spinal and musculoskeletal conditions – ensuring long-term recovery, pain relief, and improved function.
