Taylor Physiotherapy

Each individual client is thoroughly assessed and a clinical diagnosis made; individual treatment programmes are then devised to address your unique requirements. You will receive an individual exercise programme, aimed at maintaining the changes and improvements gained from hands- on treatment. Continuous assessment allows treatment to be modified as improvements are measured by the physiotherapist, and seen by you, the client.
