Physiotherapy treatment
General activity guidance is the core of physiotherapy for weight related mobility concerns. After an assessment, your physiotherapist sets a plan built around walking and low impact exercise, progressed as your results improve. Hands-on treatment, pain relief and education are added where they help.
