Excellence, experience & enthusiasm Based in the leafy central location of Southernhay, Cathedral Physiotherapy prides itself on delivering the ‘three Es’. Clinic director Sarah Moore is absolutely passionate about providing you with the best possible care for your condition
A
range of post-graduate skills, including an MSc in Neuromusculoskeletal Physiotherapy from Cardiff University, membership of the Musculoskeletal Association of Physiotherapists (MACP) and also of the British Medical Acupuncture Society (BMAS) ensures EXCELLENCE is at the heart of your treatment. Excellence has been recognised by local GP practices, where Sarah has provided teaching sessions across the Exeter region, ensuring local doctors and nurses are up to date with musculoskeletal knowledge. There is no shortcut to gaining EXPERIENCE, and 19 years working in both the NHS and private sectors, provides patients with great confidence. Sarah’s role as clinical lead physiotherapist at the Royal Devon & Exeter hospital for the past 12 years has lead her to specialise in complex conditions which may have previously failed to respnd to conventional treatment. However, she is equally at home treating any musculoskeletal problems. Without doubt, Sarah is full of ENTHUSIASM and believes strongly that individuals should not allow difficulties such as pain, weakness, loss of function, to define them as individuals. She works with
her clients in a friendly and positive way to facilitate them achieving their potential, and goals previously believed to be unattainable.
What is Physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy helps to restore movement and function when someone has been affected by injury, illness or disease. It is a sciencebased profession and takes a ‘whole person’ approach to health and wellbeing, which includes the patient’s general lifestyle. At the core is your involvement with your own care, through education, awareness, empowerment and participation in treatment. In an initial assessment, your problems / concerns are listened to and discussed, followed by a physical assessment. Based on both of these factors your treatment and advice will be provided, specific to your personal presentation, and you will be given exercises designed to help you improve.
Developments
2016 has seen the clinic grow from strength to strength. As well as continuing to offer a first-rate service, we were excited to announce that we can now offer hydrotherapy treatment at the Spa Naturel Fitness pool, Exeter Mercure Southgate Hotel. Hydrotherapy (therapeutic exercise in water) is brilliant for people with severe joint pain
(e.g. backs, hips, knees, shoulders) and patients with problems like rheumatological disease, as the water supports the body’s weight, allowing joints to move more easily. This reduces painful muscle spasm and consequently increases your range of painfree movement. Water pressure also reduces swelling, and its resistance properties assist strengthening.
Other Treatments
We offer a variety of other treatments to aid pain relief and improve your body’s function, including soft tissue massage, mobilisations, manipulations, electrotherapy, acupuncture and exercises. We are thrilled to continue receiving amazingly positive feedback from our patients, resulting in many 5 star Google reviews. So if you would like the very best treatment and advice, Cathedral Physiotherapy is here for you.
