Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy is an evolving occupation, which aims to improve the physical function of patients. This is achieved by decreasing pain, increasing strength and mobility and re-teaching movements that a patient’s body cannot perform.
At StepMed we have a special interest in assisting those with neurological problems (problems with the brain, spine or peripheral nerves).

NEURO- AND SPINAL CORD REHABILITATION

Our team has a special interest in assisting people that struggles with any condition or injury that involves the brain and spinal cord.

LOWER MOTOR NEURON REHABILITATION

Physiotherapy is an essential part of the rehabilitation process following the diagnosis of a lower motor neuron lesion or peripheral neuropathy.

COMPLICATED ORTHOPAEDICS

It is common for patients in all walks of life to have sustained some form of overuse injury, traumatic injuries like motor vehicle accidents or falls and disuse injuries due to postural challenges, habits or poor alignment

PAEDIATRIC REHABILITATION

Our team has a special interest to help guide parents and care givers in helping their children to achieve their greatest potential.

What Are Our Aims In Therapy

Our aim at StepMed is to enable all patients to achieve their maximal physical potential. We aim to assist the patient to obtain

  • Medical stability
  • Maximal function
  • Maximal re-integration in society

Why Choose Physio Therapy at StepMed?

  • At StepMed we provide good quality treatments.
  • We do not believe in treating the symptoms alone. Instead we look for the problem in the body and work to correct it.
  • Patients with neurological problems need specialised treatment to prevent their conditions from becoming worse.

It is Important that the team, family and patient all take each other’s hands and work together. In such a way we can achieve the best results.
