25% off Physiotherapy!!

I would like to offer all new and returning customers a discount until the new year.

This is not only to grow my clinic, but also to offer a cheaper alternative to other private healthcare providers without the waiting list of the NHS.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or would like to discuss before booking.

R.I.C.E 🍚 is now P.O.L.I.C.E 🚨

Follow this guide for the first week following an acute injury:

Protect- Following injury, a short period of rest or immobilisation can help. During this time a splint or brace may be used (or crutches for lower limb injuries). The length of the rest period will depend on the severity of the injury. For most injuries 2 to 3 days rest is sufficient. For severe ligaments sprains up to 10 days rest may be required.

Optimal Loading- While protecting the injured body part, gentle movement should be started early. For example, in acute ankle sprains introducing gentle walking early, has been shown to reduce swelling and improve early return to work and sports. Optimal loading can help promote healing of the injury and reduce joint stiffness and muscle weakness. The optimal loading for each injury will depend on the specific injury.

Ice- Applying ice can help to reduce swelling and reduce pain around the injured muscle or joint. After an acute injury ice can be applied every 2 hours for 20 minutes for the first 2-3 days. A wet towel should always be used between the ice pack and the skin to prevent burns.

Compression- A standard elastic bandage is a cheap effective tool to help control swelling. Bandaging should start distal (down) from the injured part and extend above the site of injury. Overlap each layer overlapping by 50% and use light to moderate pressure.

Elevation- This is useful to reduce swelling and pain. An injured ankle or knee can be rested on pillows, however it is important that the leg is above the level of the pelvis. To elevate an elbow or wrist a sling can be used.

David came to me 2 weeks ago with acute low back pain following a basketball match. I started treating him with some gentle exercise and hands on therapy. He’s now off the painkillers and pain free day to day.

Here’s David doing some drills to prepare him back to basketball and it won’t be long until he’s back on the court 🏀

When clients come to me for the first time, they often have the same 4 questions.

I aim to answer each of them during the initial appointment, giving you a diagnosis, education on the condition and usual natural history of condition, what you can do to help yourself and what I can do to help you.

You will receive a full assessment and treatment on the very first session and by the end of the session a full plan will be in place to help you on your road to recovery.

This is why I do it!😍
Andy came to me with a acute onset of back pain after some heavy gym sessions. After confirming he hadn’t done anything too serious, we were able to settle his pain right down with manual techniques and a rehab programme.

He is now rehabbing back to his gym routine and can squat and deadlift pain free. Well done Andy🫡
