Physiotherapy services & treatments | Biddulph Physiotherapy

Chartered physiotherapy

A chartered physiotherapist is a member of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP) — the professional governing body that ensures high standards of practice are maintained. Our physiotherapists are also registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).

Your initial examination

The initial examination begins with taking a history of your symptoms: how the problem started, what makes it worse, what eases it, and how it affects your day.

That is followed by an objective examination of your posture, muscle balance, active and passive range of movement, power, stability and function. Together these give us a working diagnosis and a realistic idea of what treatment can achieve.

Treatment approaches

Various different approaches can be used to reduce pain, regain range of movement and restore normal function. In practice we most often draw on:

Manual therapy

Hands-on joint mobilisation and manipulation to restore movement and ease stiffness.

Electrotherapy

Ultrasound and interferential therapy to help with pain, swelling, spasm and healing.

Acupuncture

Used alone or alongside physiotherapy where your assessment shows it is appropriate.

Exercise rehabilitation

Graded, individual programmes to rebuild strength, range and confidence.

Core stability training

Targeted work to support the spine and reduce recurring back and neck pain.

Postural & ergonomic advice

Practical changes at your desk, in the car and at work to stop symptoms returning.

Soft tissue techniques

Alongside the treatments above we use soft tissue techniques — massage, trigger point work and stretching — to release tight, painful muscle and prepare a joint for movement.
