Having looked at a fair few physiotherapy topics over the last few weeks I though we should return to letting you all know a bit more about the physiotherapy services that we offer and the areas that they are available in. This time we will have a look at how our home visit physiotherapy service helps patients with back pain in Tamworth and areas such as Hopwas, Amington, Glascote and Fazeley.

Although our physiotherapists see patients for a wide range of musculoskeletal problems in Tamworth, by far the most common complaint that patients is low back pain. As such we have a large amount of experience of helping patients in Tamworth recover from low back pain and our physiotherapists are experts in the use of hands on therapy and appropriate exercises. To see how our physiotherapy service in Tamworth might help you, it may be helpful to have a look at a case study of a patient in the Tamworth area with back pain.

In the example we will look at now our patient - was a male in his late 50s who had been having low level back grumbles for a long period of time (>20yrs!) and who intermittently experienced large disabling flare ups that would stop him working. In general he had been trying to manage his back problems himself but recently he had experienced a particularly bad episode and was off work when he called our physiotherapy servcie for help. Our physiotherapist went to his home in Tamworth, took a full past medical history and a completed a full and comprehensive physical examination in order to understand the underlying problem and decide on the best treatment and management plan. The physiotherapist decided that the best way to help the patient with their back pain was to use a combination of hands on soft tissue massage and a programme of exercises designed to strengthen and improve range of motion in the back muscles. Over the next few weeks our physio attended several times until eventually the patient had made a full recovery. At this point our patient decided that they wished to have ongoing physiotherapy in order to prevent his back problem from coming back and so in conjunction with the physiotherapist a plan was made to see him on an ongoing basis every 2 to 4 weeks.
