Lymphoedema

This chronic condition occurs when the body’s internal drainage system – the lymphatic
system – cannot sufficiently manage fluid build up. It most commonly occurs in limbs, but
can also affect the torso, genital area, neck and head.

Lymphoedema is most often seen in patients following cancer treatments, which can
sometimes damage the lymphatics. It has other less common causes as well. Sometimes
people are born with lymphoedema.

Respiratory physiotherapy

There is very good evidence that physiotherapy can be effective in dealing with many of the
symptoms of cardiac and lung diseases, including increased sputum production, shortness
of breath, and reduced exercise tolerance.

Our specialist respiratory physiotherapist will perform a comprehensive respiratory
assessment. She will then tailor a treatment programme for your specific needs.

Scoliosis

Scoliosis refers to the sideways and rotational curvature of the spine. Our specialised
Physiotherapy approach for this condition is based on the BSPTS-Concept by Rigo and can
be particularly beneficial for adolescents with scoliosis.

Rheumatology

There are over many types of arthritis. They often cause pain, affect movement and the
musculoskeletal system and other body systems in some cases.

Medical management with a general practitioner and a specialist Rheumatologist is often
required with a Physiotherapist as part of your team.

Our Physiotherapists understand these conditions and the importance of managing pain with other non-pharmacological strategies, managing fatigue and to remain strong, mobile and active as part of a comprehensive management approach of rheumatological conditions.
