Physiotherapy and Pilates in Altrincham, Cheshire
Altrincham Physiotherapy and Sports Injury Clinic is an experienced team of 10 Chartered Physiotherapists led by Cath Leftley. We offer private physiotherapy for musculoskeletal injuries, including back, neck, shoulder and nerve pain, sports injuries, chronic and degenerative conditions, post-operative and post-fracture rehabilitation.
We use a variety of techniques to treat pain and injuries, and support your rehabilitation, from manual therapy and manipulation to acupuncture, electrotherapy, muscle balance and exercise therapy.
All of our physiotherapists are also APPI-qualified Pilates instructors, teaching a modified form of Pilates created by physiotherapists. We run a full programme of small clinical Pilates classes at our Altrincham studio and online Pilates classes via Zoom. One-to-one Pilates tuition is also available if you prefer more personalised support.
Four steps to treating pain
1. Consultation – we ask questions, listen to, and care about, your answers, and understand the outcome you’d like to achieve.
2. Investigate your pain or injury through physical examination.
3. Diagnose – we explain the location and source of the problem, and recommend a suitable treatment programme.
If our diagnosis means we’re unable to treat you, for example, we suspect you may have a fracture or require an expert opinion, your physiotherapist may refer you to your GP or directly to a specialist consultant.
4. Treatment – hands-on treatment at our clinic and a suggested at-home exercise programme.
All treatments are focused on you, your situation and your personal goals. So the number and frequency of treatments is unique to each individual.
