“Am I on track?”
This is often one of the most asked question in clinic in the early stages of ACLR rehabilitation.

0-4 Week Targets:
- Aim for 120° knee flexion (or as close as possible)✅
- Full knee extension as a minimum, hyper-extension if possible✅
- Minimal/No swelling/effusion✅
- Active quad control, often measured with straight leg raise with no lag✅
- Independent and normalised gait (no walking aids or limp)✅

However, not everyone hits these milestones at week 4- These are just the targets we aim for📈

Here’s a bit more about what I do at Adam Gillies Physio.

I help people reduce pain and recover from injury through movement, education, and lifestyle change — supporting both patients and athletes to get back to doing what they enjoy, pain-free and stronger than before.

I offer 1:1 in-person physiotherapy sessions, assessing, treating, and rehabilitating a wide range of injuries and conditions.

Whether you’re dealing with a recent injury, persistent pain, or working towards getting back to sport, my focus is on helping you reach your individual goals.

If you need help with any of the above, feel free to message me.

It’s been a busy few weeks but I’m really pleased to share that I’ve officially completed my MSc in Physiotherapy. It’s been a challenging but rewarding journey of clinical practice across placements and research, and I’m looking forward to bringing everything I’ve learned back into the clinic.

To mark this next chapter, I’m transitioning this page to Adam Gillies Physio. This change is all about bringing a more personal clinical identity to the same clinic at FLX.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me throughout my studies and to my patients for your continued trust. I plan to keep evolving the clinic to provide the best possible care, so keep your eyes peeled!

You might’ve heard things like:
💬 “I’ve got pins and needles down my arm.”
💬 “I think I have a trapped nerve.”
💬 “One side of my neck feels stiff or sore.”

These kinds of symptoms can sometimes be linked to something we call cervical radiculopathy — when a nerve in the neck gets irritated or compressed.

It doesn’t necessarily mean something serious, and more often than not you don’t need a scan.
More often, we focus on:
🔎 Understanding the symptoms
🤝 Reassuring you with clear information
💪 Helping you move with more ease and less discomfort

No quick fixes or scary language. Just helping you get back to doing what matters.

📩 If this feels familiar — we’re here to talk.
