Physiotherapy is a healthcare profession that helps people to reduce pain, restore movement and improve their physical function and quality of life. At The Dales Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Clinic, I work with people of all ages who are recovering from injury, managing pain or dealing with longer-term musculoskeletal problems.
Every person and every injury is different, so your physiotherapy will be tailored to you. Your assessment and treatment plan will take into account your individual problem, your goals, occupation, hobbies, sport, lifestyle, medical history and the time you have available for rehabilitation.
My aim is not simply to treat your symptoms, but to understand what may be contributing to your problem and help you return to the things that are important to you - whether that is everyday activities, work, exercise, sport or simply moving with less pain and more confidence.
I have experience treating a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, including spinal and joint problems, sports and occupational injuries, muscle, tendon and ligament injuries, arthritis, nerve pain, headaches and migraine, vestibular problems, post-operative rehabilitation and pregnancy-related pain.
The Dales Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Clinic was established in 2014 and is led by Susan Addison BSc PGCert MCSP, a Chartered Physiotherapist and Advanced Physiotherapy Practitioner with over 26 years of experience. My career has included working in the NHS, private practice, with elite athletes, in GP practice and with the military . I have a particular interest and extensive experience in musculoskeletal physiotherapy.
