OxPhysio

Physical Therapist in Oxford, Oxfordshire
Physical Therapist in Oxford, Oxfordshire Established in 2012 our clinicians have 80 years of combined experience having
practiced physiotherapy in the NHS for many years, all are highly
experienced and have firsthand knowledge of the various pathways you
may need to pursue in order to get the best care possible.

We
will diagnose the root cause of your problem, treat your symptoms and
help prevent them from re-occurring. Unlike some other practices, our
physiotherapists are able to organise further investigations where
necessary, including X-Rays, MRIs and Ultrasound Scans.

Treatment
may consist of hands on therapy to relieve pain and restore movement.
You will be taught specific exercises within a treatment session and be
given a home exercise programme to help correct altered movement
patterns and undo 'bad habits' created by pain. Physiotherapy offers a
unique approach to ensure that your symptoms improve in the long term by
helping you to alter movement patterns which may have caused your
problem to linger or reoccur.

Graham Upton
read moreHaving suffered long term pain and restricted movement in my neck Cath Hooton's intervention has been little short of magical. In the first session I had with her she identified the cause of the problem and focussed on it with immediate benefits in terms of in terms of flexibility and neck movement. Subsequent sessions have produced continued improvement and I remained hugely impressed by her skill. She is the best physio I have ever been to.
