London Physiotherapy Minimises Injury Risks and Enhances Performance


Injury prevention is one of the topics physiotherapists like to explore for its potential benefits. For one, it will be a big boost to the performance of both professional and recreational athletes, as well as spare as many people as possible from aches and pains. Furthermore, it can help decrease health care and treatment costs. While studies are still being done on this subject, physiotherapists agree that injury prevention cannot be achieved 100%. These professionals, however, recommend several ways by which the risks of injury can be minimised.

Experts in Physiotherapy from London Gave Stroke Victim’s Life Back


Any capable physio in London knows the importance of having friends or family supporting patients as they undergo physiotherapy. They can get involved in the on-going sessions then take over once the patient has left the hospital premises to continue exercising at home. Recovery Tips Experienced practitioners like CK Physiotherapy recommend that after the initial sessions at the clinic or hospital, patients need to continue on their own, tracking their progress in a notebook or journal. Once they are strong enough, they should consult the physiotherapist about resuming sports activity. The trick with therapy is to be patient with the process and the results.

Ealing Physiotherapy could Save the NHS a Lot from Injury Treatment


It’s indeed a pity that advice from Ealing physio practices like CK Physiotherapy fall on deaf ears much of the time. It costs next to nothing to heed their guidance, and doing so will pay off handsomely for both the NHS and the patient. "Physiotherapists deliver services that develop strength and balance, educate people about risk factors and provide essential information on what to do if they do suffer a fall. Too many lives are being ruined by unnecessary falls despite specialist support being available that could prevent them and save huge sums for the NHS at the same time."

London Physiotherapy Helps Football Athletes Bounce Back from Injury

During the rehabilitation phase, the injured person’s activities typically have to be limited, and gradually accelerated. It is the job of the physiotherapist to plan and create a schedule according to the patient’s condition and the progress of the healing process. The physiotherapist will always prioritise the need for a full recovery without risking aggravation or relapse, as well as minimisation of pain and discomfort.
One doesn’t have to be a star athlete to get London physio treatments from reputable practices like CK Physio. Regardless of level of fitness, certified physiotherapists can assess a patient’s health needs and employ the appropriate treatments. By providing medical advice and applying therapeutic techniques, these professionals can help patients get back to their best possible form, and even back on the field as quickly and safely as appropriate.

Ealing Physiotherapy: Common Sports Injuries when Running Marathons

Sprained ankles are also common sports injuries for runners. Here, the ligaments in the ankle are torn as the joint is rolled too outwardly, which could happen when running on uneven surfaces, or landing in awkward positions. The injury also results in pain and swelling in the area. Other ligaments in the legs may tear and cause similar – or worse – symptoms.
Specialists that provide physiotherapy around Ealing, such as CK Physio, can help in the management of these conditions. Hot and cold treatments, manipulative or exercise therapy, and other techniques can be administered to reduce the symptoms and restore the affected area’s function and range of movement. Certified therapists can also design a rehabilitation programme for faster positive outcomes in recovery.

You can also get information from institutions like CK Physio. Thanks to efficient physio in London, MS sufferers can continue their treatment even after they get out of the hospital. Moreover, the exercises and other aspects of this system help keep their bodies healthy and in shape."

"Who can benefit from this? People who have had their mobility reduced by stroke without their condition requiring them to seek in-patient treatment can benefit best from this system.

If you know a family member or loved one in west London who's suffering from the aftermaths of a stroke, you should consider taking them to Ealing physio professionals for help. With this treatment, you don't have to spend a lot on hospital rehabilitation treatments, and your loved one can return home all the quicker."

On Parkinson's Disease and Physiotherapy

Parkinson's Disease is an ailment that inhibits body functions. This is caused by the failure of the brain to swiftly deliver information to the different body parts for movement. The slow transfer of signals from the brain to the body causes mobility problems and speech concerns. Parkinson's Disease has no known cure to-date. However, physiotherapy is seen as one of the more common ways to alleviate the symptoms of the ailment.

With limited mobility and poor body functions, the joints and limbs of a person suffering from Parkinson's become weaker. Physiotherapists can massage and treat the arms and legs of the patient, increasing the strength of the muscles and making sure that the arms and legs can still move.

How Ealing Physiotherapy Helps Patients with Respiratory Conditions

Cystic fibrosis is just one of the respiratory conditions that are regularly treated with chest physiotherapy. General practitioners and other physicians in the area would usually refer patients with these ailments to Ealing physiotherapy experts. These practises work hand in hand in the holistic management of the patient’s condition.

Many Britons are no strangers to respiratory diseases, including asthma, COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) and aspiration pneumonia, among others. Difficulty of breathing from sputum accumulation, and sticky secretions are common manifestations of these respiratory ailments.

Physiotherapy after a Running Injury

The annual Ealing Half Marathon is expected to attract about 6,000 runners in 2014. This year's event will take place in September and will benefit the Alzheimer's Society. This early, some runners are already training for the event, to ensure they will be in good physical shape by then.

However, while in training, these athletes become prone to injuries. Among the most common injuries for runners is the aptly named runner's knee, which is typically brought on by repeated bending of the knees, where the kneecap nerves have been irritated or the tendons overstretched. Symptoms of this injury include swelling and pain in the knee areas when walking, squatting, kneeling, sitting and, of course, running.

Physiotherapy and Asthma

Physiotherapy is a conventional healing method that uses a combination of massage, heat and cold therapy, mild electric stimulation, and exercises to heal muscles. Physiotherapists help people who have suffered injuries, disability or illness to get proper function and motion in affected body parts.
Unbeknownst to many people, however, a physiotherapist can also help people with asthma. Asthma is a respiratory condition wherein the lung’s airways become irritated and swollen, thus hindering a person’s ability to breathe properly. While asthma can be treated with medications, those looking for an all-natural means of controlling it can turn to physiotherapy instead.
To begin with, physiotherapists teach their clients a more relaxed and efficient way of breathing to ease strain on the lungs. They also educate clients on proper ways to manage symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, and excessive mucous.
Exercise is vital to strengthening the lungs, but not all exercises are suited to asthmatics. For example, some may overtax the lungs, which can trigger an asthmatic episode. A physiotherapist will develop a customised workout plan for clients that enables them to get the exercise they need without putting them at risk of an asthma attack.

Breathing is something that most people take for granted, but is something that asthma sufferers are constantly aware of. With the help of physiotherapy though, they can mitigate the effects of asthma and enjoy their lives more.

Physiotherapy for Ankle Injuries

The ankle is a very important joint that can perform a wide range of movement including inversion, eversion, extension, flexion, etc. All this is necessary for proper balance while standing, walking, or running. The ankles take on the full weight of the body, and the forces that they absorb are considerable. Too much pressure on the ankles can lead to injury.

Most ankle injuries are caused when the foot twists inwards. When this happens, the full weight of the body is sustained by the ankle’s anterior talo-fibular ligament, and if the pressure is too much for the ligament to handle, it may stretch and sustain minute tears, or it may tear completely.

Most ankle tears are fairly minor ones that get better with basic self-care treatment. If the injury is severe, however, you’ll need to seek professional advice immediately. Indicators of a serious injury include excessive ankle pain, a deformed appearance, broken skin, and pain and swelling that gets worse over the first few days.


Oftentimes, a patient with a broken ankle will need to see a physiotherapist. Your general physician, as well as a hospital casualty or orthopaedic department can arrange for you to meet with one. Alternatively, you can get in touch with one directly. Physiotherapists generally advertise in the local papers and the Yellow Pages.
