Preventative Advice

Our aim at Ealing physiotherapy is to avoid the recurrence of problems. We do believe that prevention is better than allowing a crisis to develop. There are many things we take for granted and one of them is our health!

Posture re-education: Most people suffering from lower back pain can alleviate symptoms by simply correcting their posture at work or at home. When we treat you, we expect to bring about a change in factors that influence your condition such as your posture at work or a sporting technique. We would re-educate the muscles that help maintain healthy postures.

Ergonomic assessment: Ergonomics is a science that helps identify how fit you are in your working environment and how your equipment fits you. This can also extend to a sporting environment. We would provide you with a work station assessment or simply discuss issues related to your equipment, training surfaces, clothing and footwear. We also assess training levels to prevent overtraining and causing injuries from fatigue.

Prehab

'Prehab' is essentially exercises that prepare you for the sport(s) you do in order to minimise the chance of injury and maximise your performance and enjoyment. This may be for skiing, snowboarding, or even sports that you can do in England such as cycling, running and team sports. It ensures your body is conditioned to safely partake in your chosen activity and comfortably deal with the stresses that that activity places on it, and it is an important area that is often ignored by many. Not only will you reduce your chance of injury by doing appropriate exercises with good technique, but you should also notice a significant improvement in your performance.

Our specialist physiotherapists can also advise you if physiotherapy treatment and exercise rehab would be a better choice for sorting your tension and pain out by getting to the root of the problem and preventing any recurrences.

Rehabilitation

Rehabilitation is restoring the condition of your body to good health. Specifically in physiotherapy this refers to getting rid of your pain and returning you to full function and sport (if that is your goal). At Ealing Physiotherapy we aim not just to restore you to your previous level of strength and function, but reduce the chances of it becoming a recurring problem by addressing any underlying issues that may have lead to the injury. This tends to involve strengthening and stretching exercises, ensuring excellent technique to re-educate good movement patterns and maximise the benefits of the exercises.
