Louise and the team provide specialist hip physiotherapy to patients with hip problems pre and post operatively, and to patients who wish to manage their problem non-surgically. Louise has extensive experience of seeing high volumes of patients following hip arthroscopy, peri-acetabular osteotomy (PAO) and total hip replacement (THR). She works closely with hip surgeons from all around the country, often attending consultant clinics and observing surgery in order to provide the most effective rehabilitation for that particular patient.
'Hip Arthroscopy Cadaver Training', (2 days), London, June '11. With special thanks to Smith & Nephew, Jon Conroy and Richard Villar.
Following an in depth assessment and analysis of your hip problem we will construct a treatment plan. We use treatments such as soft tissue techniques (myofascial release, trigger point therapy), manual therapy, dry needling, electro-acupuncture, cupping, pilates, hydrotherapy, muscle imbalance work that we have mastered over our many years of practice, additional post-graduate training and experience in this area.
We understand how the hip has an impact on the rest of the body and use a whole body approach to help you.
