Occupational Therapy in Liverpool

The Main Difference is the conditions they treat and the treatment style. An Exercise Physiologist will see people with chronic conditions or long standing pain or injury (over 6 months) (e.g Diabetes, Heart Condition, long standing knee pain). A Physiotherapist will generally see someone with a condition or injury that has occurred in the last 3 months or has had a recent flare up (e.g lower back spasm, torn tendon). An Exercise Physiologist treats with Exercise and Movement prescription which can involve muscle activation, strengthening, flexibility and self release techniques. A Physiotherapist treats with a combination of Hands on Treatment and movement.

As we run a popular clinic, we need at least 24 hours notice, so that your appointment slot can be given to someone on the waiting list. If you cancel with less than 24 hours notice, you may be charged a late cancellation fee.

Initial & Subsequent appointments are 30 minutes. Longer appointments are available if arranged prior to your consultation.

We strive to get you back to full health and activity in as little treatments as possible, and as such, the number of consults required will be based on the advice of your Expert Physiotherapist.

You will be given a series of exercises (movements) in order to speed up your recovery and prevent recurrence of the injury. All exercises are trialled within your consultation to ensure they are appropriate for you at that time. This may consist of strengthening and/or stretching exercises appropriate for the rehabilitation of your pain or injury. As some injuries or pains are ongoing or have been present for months or even years, home exercises allow for improvement to continue further between physiotherapy appointments. The more recovery we can produce at home, the less you will need to see us in the clinic!
