Back - Back pain is amongst the common conditions we see and can vary from a slight twinge to severe pain that can be very debilitating.
Most back pain has a mechanical nature meaning people recover quickly from it if it is managed correctly and treated promptly.
Hip – Hip problems can occur at any age and have a number of causes.
Some of the common hip complaints that we see and treat include osteoarthritis and bursitis.
Both of which can be improved using the right techniques and exercise programmes.
Knee – Knee injuries range from simple sprains, to more serious acute ligament injuries or chronic conditions like meniscal degeneration.
Here at aim physiotherapy we have the clinical skills and expertise to diagnose and treat whatever your knee problem may be.
Ankle and Foot – Did you know that the most commonly injured ligament in the body is in the ankle? Like anything we see, ankle ligament injuries range in their severity, but even a minor ankle ligament injury can cause significant problems if not rehabilitated correctly.
One of the more painful conditions we treat is plantar fasciitis…..essentially inflammation and pain from the tissue in the sole of the foot which is as uncomfortable and problematic as it sounds. Managed correctly it usually resolves, but ignored or left alone to ‘see if it will get better’ will inevitably lead to other issues.
