Who would benefit from musculo-skeletal physiotherapy?

Every one of all ages! This list is not exhaustive so please contact me for advice. I can quite often give you tips to try at home to see if your problems improve first.

  • Neck, back and pelvic pain – with or without referred symptoms e.g. sciatica, pins and needles, weakness or numbness
  • Acute strains and sprains that have not responded to rest, ice, compression and elevation.
  • Sports injuries
  • Joint pain or stiffness
  • Arthritic pain
  • Whiplash, headaches and dizziness
  • Growing pains
  • Postoperative rehabilitation (e.g. joint replacement, ligament repair, shoulder surgery)
  • Muscle spasm or pain
  • Any pain that is increasing after ten days or hasn’t settled in six weeks
  • Any ache or pain that recurs on a regular basis or pain associated with postural changes
  • Repetitive strain injuries e.g. tennis elbow, achilles tendonitis
  • Complex chronic pain
  • Heel pain
  • Stress incontinence
  • Pregnancy and post pregnancy related symptoms
  • Over breathing and panic attacks

What is physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy is an holistic, drug-free intervention, using various hands-on, acupuncture, and electrotherapy techniques. These skills, plus advice, aim to treat injury and disease by promoting the body’s natural ability to heal. Every injury and individual is different so treatment is adapted to suit your needs and goals, be they running a marathon or being able to sleep without pain.

With over 30 years of experience, my treatment philosophy is ‘less is more’. I believe the information and advice I can give you to help you manage and improve your symptoms is far more beneficial and long lasting than any repeated ‘quick fix’ can be.

I rarely need to see patients more than 2-3 times (some acute injuries and conditions and post-operative cases may require more treatment) and I will always refer you to your GP or another professional for their opinion if I have any concerns.
