Richmond Physiotherapy

When you consult a physiotherapist, you get a detailed examination and assessment which is individually tailored to your needs. Your physiotherapist will listen carefully to the type of problem you describe and analyse what structures could be affected and how they should be examined. The conclusions from this session form a plan of treatment and can be used to predict how much treatment you might need and how much improvement you can expect to achieve. This is a condition that has been seen over the years particularly in women, and it can lead to leg pain, knee pain, back pain and even ankle and foot problems.

It's common in women of all ages and all ability levels, certainly runners can have problems with it, so can cyclists and people who go to the gym. But also everyday folk, anyone who comes home after a long day at work and finally gets a chance to sit down and watch a bit of telly or relax with a good book.
