About Us

Our Services

1. Initial Evaluation and Tailored Treatment

Your journey begins with a thorough initial evaluation. During this first session, we conduct an in-depth assessment of your condition, reviewing your medical history, current symptoms, and any relevant scans or X-rays you bring along. Based on this information, we collaborate with you to set personalised treatment goals. From there, we will start implementing a customised physiotherapy plan designed to meet your unique needs and help you regain your function.

2. Pain Management and Injury Rehabilitation

We provide specialised treatment for a wide range of conditions, including:

• Chronic pain management for conditions like arthritis, sciatica, and back pain
• Sports injury rehabilitation, helping you recover from strains, sprains, and other sports-related injuries
• Post-surgical rehabilitation, assisting with recovery following surgeries such as joint replacements or ligament repairs
• Musculoskeletal rehabilitation to restore function in the muscles, bones, and joints

3. Therapeutic Exercises and Manual Therapy

Our physiotherapy approach includes various treatments tailored to your needs, including:

• Therapeutic exercises to improve strength, flexibility, and mobility
• Manual therapy, such as joint mobilisations and soft tissue techniques, to alleviate pain and restore function
• Posture correction to address issues caused by poor alignment and movement patterns

4. Preventative Care and Wellness

Prevention is a key part of our philosophy. At EVHP, we focus not only on treatment but also on prevention, helping you stay injury-free and maintain your body’s optimal performance. We offer:

• Prehabilitation programmes designed to prepare your body for surgery or physically demanding activities
• Posture and movement analysis to identify potential risk factors and correct them before they lead to injury
• Lifestyle advice and education on maintaining a healthy, active body

5. Paediatric and Geriatric Physiotherapy

We offer physiotherapy services for both children and the elderly, addressing a range of conditions specific to these age groups. From paediatric physiotherapy to assist with developmental milestones and musculoskeletal issues, to geriatric care for managing age-related conditions such as osteoporosis and joint degeneration, we provide treatment that caters to the specific needs of our younger and older patients.
