A skilled health practitioner can use their senses of sight, touch, hearing and smell to great effect in assessing a patient's health condition. Unfortunately these cannot tell us everything about someone's condition. Harnessing today's new technologies we can see further. Advances in technology provides great opportnities to attempt to make the invisible, visible and provides significantly enhanced treatment options.

Riseley Physiotherapy leads the way in the adoption of new technology in physiotherapy assessment to produce better outcomes, for example

• GaitScan is a university-grade force platform that measures the forces absorbed by your foot and their timings when walking so that a better understanding of your foot mechanics can be gained.

• Dart Fish video analysis software allows us to slow video images of your movement so that tiny aberations in quality can be detected and reformed.
• Whole Body Vibration is technology developed by the Russian space program to increase gravitational forces on your muscles so that your exercise if more effective and efficient.
