I’m very pleased I could help!

This is from a teenager with TMJ disc displacement, muscle pain from bruxism and GCSEs. I haven’t been able to do anything about the GCSEs.

This was a young woman (previously a competitive synchronised swimmer), who was referred to me by my physiotherapist colleague, Darcy. Her back pain was limiting what she could do in terms of exercise rehabilitation and holding back her progress. We quickly saw improvements with some massage, mobilisation and manipulation, which enabled her to do more, so Darcy could progress his exercise plan. We soon got her to her goal of running without pain.

This Muay Thai competitor had seen other people for her shoulder and neck pain, without any real improvement. I think what made the difference was some manual therapy alongside an appropriate exercise plan. The manual therapy improved her symptoms quite quickly, and that improvement increased her "buy in" to a more comprehensive exercise plan.

She continued doing well through another couple of sessions before being discharged, and is now off in Thailand for a competition.

I'm very pleased to have been able to help him make his competition and achieve his goal!

His treatment and management included hip mobilisations with a band and some specific strengthening as well as self-mobilisation/ stretching.

This patient had a complex shoulder injury after a fall skiing which dislocated her shoulder. She had a major rotator cuff tear which required surgical repair, as well as Hill-Sachs and Bankart lesions. She then developed frozen shoulder, for which she had hydrodistension.

Alongside exercises with her physiotherapist to help her regain both range and stability, she found manual therapy really helped her progress in her rehab. It helped her manage her pain, which allowed her to continue with her exercises when they were challenging. It also allowed her to gain new pain-free ranges, which opened up further possibilities for exercise. The two went hand-in-hand.

She's got a couple of big competitions coming up in the new year, and is hoping to qualify for the next Olympics. It's rewarding to be able to do my bit to help!

I had a lovely evening at the London Symphony Orchestra Christmas concert as a guest of one of their First Violins. Generously, she got tickets for myself and my colleague, Dr Craig Sheridan, after we helped her recover from frozen shoulder and tenosynovitis.First Violins' shoulders go through a lot...

Flare-ups can be painful and scary, but they usually don’t mean more damage has been done. They can be triggered by lack of sleep, stress and tension, anxiety, low mood, inactivity or sudden bursts of unaccustomed activity. Keeping these things under control can help to avoid flare-ups.Sometimes t...
