If you think a trip to a Physiotherapist is something you only do when you have aches or pains, then you\u2019re missing out on the skills of a physiotherapist to help you avoid these issues from becoming problems in the first place.<\/p>\r\n

At Petersfield Physiotherapy and Sports Injury Clinic we believe that everyone is entitled to a pain-free, active lifestyle and when you come to us with an injury, in need of some pain relief or some help to improve your mobility, we can provide the care and support to address these injuries.<\/p>\r\n

However, we are just as passionate about helping our clients to avoid these issues in the first place by supporting you in a proactive approach to managing your physical health.<\/p>\r\n\r\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Why Header” _builder_version=”3.19.17″ text_text_color=”#7d78b9″ text_font_size=”18px” custom_padding=”25px|||”]\r\n\r\n

Why do I need a routine physio check-up?<\/p>\r\n\r\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.19.17″]\r\n\r\n

Without realising it, there are things we do day to day that over time can affect our bodies by the strain they inflict on our muscles and joints.\u00a0 It could be wearing high heels, working at a desk and hunched over a computer screen five days a week, lifting heavy objects for a living or playing a lot of sport. Doing these kinds of activities year in, year out will eventually take their toll in terms of chronic pains and limited mobility.<\/p>\r\n

Making an appointment to talk to your physio about your current lifestyle and aspirations for things you are looking to do, or raising any initials concerns about niggling physical pains, followed up by an examination will enable us to get a clear picture of where you are now, where you want to be and anything we want to be aware of as potential problems for the future.<\/p>\r\n

This then allows us to tailor a physio plan to your individual circumstance to help you achieve your goals.<\/p>\r\n\r\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”When Header” _builder_version=”3.19.17″ text_text_color=”#7d78b9″ text_font_size=”18px” custom_padding=”25px|||”]\r\n\r\n

When should I have an MOT?<\/p>\r\n\r\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.19.17″]\r\n\r\n

You can come to us for a MOT at any time; I usually recommend to my clients in Hampshire that they come once a year, minimum. But there are some instances when it would be particularly beneficial to have a check-up:<\/p>\r\n
