With us, you will receive expert home-based physiotherapy – delivered however often you need it – in a way that meets your particular needs, giving you the best chance of regaining full mobility. Some of the medical conditions that we treat include:

Falls

Suffering a fall can often result in fractures, head injury and skin trauma, necessitating hospital visits and impacting one’s mobility for weeks, months, or even years. Chances of falls are increased by neurological or age-related conditions and can significantly hamper quality of life. That is why U Go Mobile Physio provides mobile physiotherapy in Essex to help identify and resolve causes of falls, such as poor lighting, obstacles, weakness, inappropriate footwear, poor eyesight, medication, or infection. Our mobile physiotherapist will visit your home and make an assessment regarding the causes of falls, and this may involve:

• Medical history and medication
• Balance and mobility
• Strength and flexibility
• Environment

•  Improve mobility
• Guidance over suitable equipment
• Collaborating with carers and family to help you with exercises between our visits
• Referring you to your GP or other medical specialists, if needed

After the surgery, our mobile physiotherapists in Essex will help you regain strength and range of movement in joints, building stamina and enabling a swift return to everyday activities. The type of surgeries that we can help you prepare for include:

Massage and Sports Massage

Deep tissue or Swedish massage is a well-known method of treatment capable of enhancing an individual’s physical and psychological wellbeing. A sports massage, however, is a more intricate form of massage that manipulates the skin, muscle, tendons and ligaments for people engaged in regular physical activity or require a sports injury physio. Sports massage can benefit anyone whose muscles are under constant stress, regardless of their age or level of fitness. There are many benefits from regular sports massages, such as:

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a healing technique centred around inner healing, treating pain and reducing muscle spasms by accessing energy points throughout the body with thin needles. U Go Mobile Physio takes the Western approach, using evidence-based knowledge to treat specific issues in patients. All of our mobile physiotherapists in Essex are fully trained in acupuncture and belong to the Acupuncture Association of Chartered Physiotherapists (AACP).
