Claire was then given the opportunity to manage three fitness centres within the Occupational Health & Fitness sector. Claire’s ambitions and passion to injury rehabilitation continued to grow, leading her into the world of MSK physiotherapy.

Meet the Team - Alison Hughes (Physiotherapist)

Alison trained at Manchester Royal Infirmary, gaining a BSc in Physiotherapy in 1988. Her first role after graduating from university was in the NHS, where she worked in a variety of inpatient and outpatient settings, and developed her passion for musculoskeletal physiotherapy, having a special interest in Orthopaedics and Rheumatology, alongside this Alison joined Wrexham Physiotherapy Clinic in 1990.

Alison further developed her knowledge of musculoskeletal conditions and sports injuries working at the practice, a local GP surgery and more recently as a physiotherapist for M Sport Ford World Rally team. In addition, she has experience in occupational health, has been clinical assessor for Salford University School of Physiotherapy and a lecturer in Sports and Exercise therapy at Wrexham University.

Alison believes that the most important aspect of her physiotherapy practice is understanding her patients’ symptoms and concerns, discussing assessment findings and treatment options, then tailoring a plan of action to resolve their issues and return them to full pain free activity, be it walking the dog or participating in elite sports.

Outside of work Alison has a very busy family life, having 3 adult children and 5 grandchildren. She still has a passion for motorsport, and avidly follows the progress of her former colleagues in the World Rally Championship. She enjoys walking (in good weather) and loves to travel as often as opportunities arise

Shockwave Therapy

We are the only private physio clinic in Wrexham able to offer Shockwave Therapy to our clients, previously this modality has only been available privately via a hospital consultant, resulting in a large financial outlay. We are pleased to provide this treatment at our standard treatment charges.

What is Shockwave Therapy?

Extracorporeal shockwave therapy is a procedure that passes acoustic shock waves through the skin, via a handheld tool, which is applied by the physiotherapist. The shockwaves are mechanical, not electrical; they are audible, high frequency soundwaves which work by increasing the blood flow to the injured area, this accelerates the body’s healing process. Extracorporeal means outside the body, therefore it is a non-invasive, effective method for the treatment of localised musculoskeletal pathologies. Shockwave therapy can be used for both chronic and acute soft tissue disorders. The treatment produces an inflammatory response, the body responds by increasing metabolic activity around the area of pain, this in turn stimulates & accelerates the healing processes, promoting neovascularization, collagen production and remodelling of dysfunctional collagenous tissues. Shockwaves can also break down scar tissue & calcification within the damaged structures.

Indications for use include:

* Acute muscle strain healing
* Muscle regeneration support
* Acute muscle spasm
* Jumpers knee
* Tennis elbow/Golfers elbow
* Painful Shoulder/frozen shoulder / Rotator cuff disorders
* Groin pain
* Achilles tendon pain
* Plantar fasciitis/Heel spurs
* Low back pain

How many treatments will I need?

Most conditions require three to five sessions. The treatments are done 5-10 days apart, depending upon your specific requirements

What is the success rate of this treatment?

Reported rate of clinical success is between 77 and 80 percent worldwide. Each treatment is cumulative, and results are often felt after three or four sessions. You may even feel an improvement in your condition (usually a reduction of pain) after the very first treatment. Although short term effects are excellent, the long-term benefits of treatment may continue to improve for 3-4 months after treatment is completed

We have availability to start treatment right away so if you have any questions or would like to book please do give us a call on 01978291154
