Back Pain
Lower back pain affects 1 in 3 adults in the UK each year, with over 2.5 million people seeking help from their GP about their condition. Whether it's a niggling twinge or a debilitating problem preventing you performing everyday activities, we can usually help ease the symptoms and address the underlying problem
Common back problems:-
lower back pain • sciatica • muscle spasm • prolapsed disc • stenosis •
scoliosis (curvature of the spine) • nerve root pain
Neck and Shoulder
A stiff and painful neck can make everyday tasks such as driving or working at a computer a real hardship. The shoulder too is a very important and complex joint, allowing movement in all directions.
Common neck and shoulder problems:-
stiff neck • referred arm pain • whiplash injury • frozen shoulder •
rotator cuff tear • dislocated shoulder • SLAP Lesion
Hip and Knee
Knees and hips are subject to a lot of wear and tear though our lives and are obviously very important for maintaining mobility
Common problems of the hip and knee:-
arthritic knee • knee ligament damage • meniscus cartilage tear •
osgood schlatters disease • total knee replacement • arthritic hip •
hip fracture • total hip replacement
Ankle and Foot / Podiatry
Stability of the foot is fundamental to the way we move, affecting not just the foot but the ankle, knee, lower leg and even the lower back. During walking, running or recreational sports activities, the foot has to cope with forces that can produce changes in supporting structures including the bones, joints and soft tissues of the limb. Over time these changes can prove to be damaging and ultimately cause pain and deformity.
Common problems of the lower leg, ankle and foot:-
plantar fasciitis • bunions • toe deformities • high arched/flat feet •
shin splints • leg fracture • sprained ankle • broken ankle •
dislocated ankle • achilles tendonosis • ruptured achilles tendon
Elbow and Hand
Flexibility and strength in our hands is vital for performing even the most basic everyday tasks. The elbow is another quite complex joint that needs to both bend and twist to function properly
Common problems of the elbow and hand:-
tennis elbow • golfer's elbow • sprained wrist • carpal tunnel syndrome
broken wrist • arthritis of the hands • dislocated finger
Sports Injuries
The last thing a keen sportsperson wants is a protracted period out with injury. We can help speed your recovery to get you back playing sport as quickly as possible.
Common sporting injuries:-
knee ligament damage • meniscus cartilage tear • achilles tendonosis •
torn achilles tendon • hamstring strain • muscle strain • muscle tear •
tennis/golfer's elbow • sprained wrist • rotator cuff tear • shin splints •
dislocated shoulder
Post-operative Recovery
To help facilitate recovery from surgery or trauma, physiotherapists can prescribe specific rehabilitation exercises, which will help to improve posture, strengthen weak muscles and improve flexibility to stiff joints.
Common conditions include:-
fractures • total hip replacement • total knee replacement •
cruciate ligamant repair • achilles tendon repair • shoulder replacement •
subacromial decompression • rotator cuff repair • laminectomy/discectomy •
spinal decompression
Acupuncture
Within the scope of physiotherapy, acupuncture can prove very useful in helping to relieve pain, either in conjunction with or in place of other manual therapies.
Common conditions include:-
acute or chronic pain • headaches/migraines
Ante/Post Natal Pain
Most women experience some degree of pain during pregnancy leading up to the delivery itself. For most, this is manageable and entirely normal, but some women can experience significant pain in their pelvis, lower back and stomach muscles as their baby grows. The causes can vary but in many cases these conditions are treatable and a physiotherapist can help to manage the pain.
Common conditions during pregnancy:-
lower back pain • pelvic girdle pain (symphysis pubis dysfunction) •
separation of the stomach muscles (diastasis recti)
Women's Health
Approximately 1 in 4 women experience women’s health problems at some point in their lifetime, with a wide range of severity and nature, across a broad age range. A large number of women are affected but may be too embarrassed to talk openly about their problem and so it often goes unreported. It can create enormous stress and may impact on a woman’s quality of life as well as her health and wellbeing. Yet often it just takes some specialist advice and training to resolve the problem.
Common women's health problems:-
urinary stress incontinence • urgency • frequency • prolapse •
faecal urgency and/or incontinence • problems controlling wind
Massage Therapy
Massage is widely recognised for its ability to help relax and heal the body. Benefits can be psychological as well as physical; patients often feel more relaxed, less anxious and better able to sleep after massage.
Massage therapies available:-
holistic massage • deep-tissue massage • sports massage • aromatherapy
Counselling & Psychotherapy
Counselling and psychotherapy are broad terms which cover a range of "talking" therapies. They are delivered by trained professionals who work with people to help them bring about effective change or enhance their well-being.

addictions • abuse • anxiety, stress or depression • difficulties with living •
health problems • pain management • loss or bereavement • trauma •
post traumatic stress • problems with relationships • self-esteem issues •
lack of self-confidence • work issues • life changing events
