How Can We Help?

Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy helps restore movement and function to as near normal as possible when someone is affected by injury or illness or a disability.

We can help to find the root cause of your problem – beyond your symptoms through a thorough assessment, expert diagnosis and the right treatment.

Facial Palsy

Facial palsy can be devastating, affecting often fit and healthy people.  Treatment can begin within days or many years after its onset.

At BuryPhysio, Tanya Legrand, who has been trained at The Lindens Clinic, centre of excellence, offers an assessment to produce a personalised programme which can include Trophic Electrical Stimulation (TES), biofeedback, exercise, passive stretch techniques and eye care advice.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture can be used as part of the treatment for a wide variety of conditions such as low back pain, neck pain, shoulder and knee pain, osteoarthritis, headaches and migraines and neurological conditions.

For many people it gives good pain relief without pills. It is also good for relieving stress, anxiety and systemic dysfunction.

Gait and running analysis

A gait and running assessment includes a biomechanical video analysis of your legs from your pelvis to your toes.

This will identify the underlying cause of persistent and recurrent problems such as low back, hip, thigh, knee, ankle or foot pain particularly if this comes on after exercise such as walking, running or playing sport. It’s also beneficial if you undertake sport at high level and have an ache or pain in your back or lower limbs that is affecting your performance. We can use this technology to analyse technique for other sports too.

Manual therapy

Manual therapy is hands-on treatment such as manipulation and mobilization.

The physiotherapist uses manual therapy to diagnose and treat soft tissues and joint structures to reduce pain; increase movement, reduce soft tissue inflammation; induce relaxation; improve tissue repair and improve function. All our physiotherapists offer manual therapy.

Headaches

Headaches, migraines and pain in the neck can be extremely disruptive to everyday life.

Physiotherapy treatment for headaches and migraines using the ‘Watson Headache Approach’ is available at Bury Physio with Jayne Davies and Carol Ellis who have had specialist training in this method.

Dizzyness

Persistent dizziness and poor balance following an attack of vertigo or labryinthitis is debilitating and can persist for many months. This can be treated by specialist physiotherapy using a combination of specific exercises and manual therapy.

Balance problems and falls are common in older people. Falls can lead to loss of confidence and fractures causing disability and loss of independence. Falls can be prevented by physiotherapy to improve flexibility, strength, coordination and balance. There is good evidence that 85 year olds can improve their strength and balance significantly in a 6 week activity programme.

Balance and Falls

Improving balance and preventing falls.

Falls become more common as we get older and are directly related to how fit we are. There is good evidence that shows that people who keep flexible and strong through activity and sport are less at risk of falling.

Rehabilitation for work and play

Rehabilitation is needed when an injury or illness has reduced your fitness so that you are unable to do the things you wish to do such as return to work or play sports.

We prescribe and support you with an individual, progressive exercise and activity programme that is designed to achieve your goals. Objective measurements allow you to see where you are starting out and how you are progressing

Neurological rehabilitation

Neuro physio is for patient who have a neurological condition such as Parkinsons, Stroke (CVA), Multiple Sclerosis, Acquired head injury, or Cerebral palsy.

Neuro physiotherapy aims to restore mobility and control so that you can function more efficiently.

Womens health

Stress incontinence affects one in every three women. It often starts after childbirth and sometimes gets worse at the menopause.

Most women never do anything about it as it’s too embarrassing to discuss. Without assistance, this problem slowly deteriorates over time.  Physiotherapy can help you to regain and maintain control of your bladder and pelvic floor.
