What Does Physiotherapy Involve?

• Objective assessment

This is a physical assessment that may include: observation; gait assessment; palpation; measuring range of movement of the affected area(s), muscle length tests, testing strength, balance and function.

For a horse-rider assessment, in addition to the above, there will also include a ridden observation.

• Goal setting

To establish aims of rehabilitation for each individual.

• Treatment

Treatment may include a combination of techniques such as: manual therapy; exercise prescription; education and lifestyle advice.
