Physiotherapy

Our emphasis is on hands on holistic treatment of the body. Common conditions treated are: back and neck problems including whiplash. We have particular knowledge in back, neck, knee and shoulder problems as part of our holistic approach we can look after all your musculo-skeletal problems.

What we treat:

Back & neck problems

Including slipped discs, degeneration and arthritis, stiff and painful necks, referred arm and leg pains such as sciatica, and whiplash injuries.

Pain can be referred from muscles joints and nerves to various places in your body. Commonly a problem with your neck could give you pain in your arm or pain in the leg from the lower back.

It is estimated that between 80 and 100% of the population will suffer at least one episode of neck or back pain in their lifetimes Research is in agreement that manual therapy, exercise and education is beneficial and “best practice” for back and neck problems. Surgery is only necessary for a minority of back pain sufferer. The risk factors for developing back pain include a family history of back pain, prolonged standing or sitting, heavy repetitive work, obesity, poor general fitness and following abdominal surgery.

All of our physiotherapists have extensive experience in managing back and neck problems. Our philosophy of individual care and an holistic approach means we will assess and then treat you using a wide range of techniques such as soft tissue massage and gentle positional release techniques, joint mobilisation and manipulation techniques.

Headaches and Migraines:

Headaches and migraines cause years of pain and suffering for many people. It comes as a surprise to many sufferers that their neck may be the cause of their problems. Rodger has undergone advanced level training with Mr Dean Watson who is probably the world’s leading physiotherapist in the management of headache and migraine caused by the neck.

Sports Injuries:

You can see from the practitioner profiles that we have a wide range of sporting interests covered including running, athletics, football, martial arts, cycling to mention a few and this enables us to understand your activity and rehabilitate you fully to your chosen activity.

In our rehab area we have a treadmill to allow us to assess gait and running styles. We have access to local football / playing field facilities so we can make sure you are really ready to return to full sport and minimise the risk of re-injury.
