About Physiotherapy

A key element of all courses of physiotherapy is your initial assessment. This is when we identify the root cause of your problem. We need to understand your expectations of physiotherapy and the goals you wish to achieve. We then formulate a plan to resolve your problem and to stop it coming back again. When you come to Bury Physio, it’s a partnership between you and your physio. You are the most important member of the team. We will make sure you get the right treatment and we will give you the knowledge and support you require to manage your condition so you don’t have to keep coming back for more treatment. If you are not showing signs of recovery within 2 to 3 weeks, we won’t keep on treating you but we will help you to find the right profession who can advise on your problem.
