Supporting your recovery with the right treatment for your needs
Your therapist will assess the cause of your pain before determining the best route forward in terms of your treatment. At KIMS Hospital, we can provide:
Soft tissue massage
This involves direct manipulation of the muscles, tendons, ligaments and other connective tissue to alleviate pain and help with the healing of soft tissue injury.
Exercise therapy and bespoke exercise programmes
Your therapist will put together a plan of physical activity and exercises designed for specific conditions that are tailored to your needs to keep you fit and healthy.
Acupuncture treatment
Acupuncture involves stimulating specific sensory nerves in the muscles to provide relief from chronic, joint, muscle and post-operation pain.
Gym-based rehabilitation classes
Our therapists can provide you with one-to-one sessions and group classes designed to get you moving without causing any further problems, giving you the confidence to get back to doing what they love.
Sports taping
This involves applying sports tape to the skin to stabilise the position of muscles and bones during activity, helping to reduce pain when exercising and aid the recovery of injuries.
Shockwave therapy
This involves the use of soundwaves targeted into the injured tissue to stimulate repair and help to relieve pain. Shockwave therapy is a commonly used treatment for many soft tissue injuries.
Alongside this, our therapy team are passionate about empowering patients to support their recovery through education and advice. We’ll explain every step of your treatment journey to you, including post-hospital care, and will advise you on the best course of action to keep you pain free and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
