At your initial 45 minute appointment a full assessment of your problem will be carried out. This will include taking a detailed history and followed by a physical examination, from which we will be able to determine the cause of your symptoms and how it can be rectified. We will always discuss your issues with you and help you understand how and why they have arisen and a treatment plan will be formulated.
Treatment will usually consist of hands-on therapies to provide rapid pain relief, ease stiffness and improve movement. Once the acute symptoms have settled we will then work on rehabilitating weak or tight muscles to restore functional, recreational and sporting activities, improve posture and most importantly, prevent recurrence.
“Can I just thank you again for taking my back issues seriously. For the past three months I’ve felt like I’ve been passed from doctor, to occupational health, to Physio and back again. Through all that time you are the only one who listened to me and made my back feel better. You have done what a whole host of ‘professionals’ up the road haven’t managed to do and I thank you deeply!!”.
— Jo, Glasgow.
Treatments Offered
Often called manual therapy, the treatment involves applying passive movements to stiff joints in order to improve movement and pain.
Massage techniques which help reduce pain caused by injured or stiff muscles, ligaments and tendons and improve the healing process.
Postural re-education and advice on minimising daily stresses is vital to help improve and maintain functional wellbeing.
Exercises are used in conjunction with hands on Physiotherapy techniques and are important for keeping the movement gained at your appointment. We usually give you a small home exercise programme to optimise your improvement in movement, strength and function.
A specialist elastic tape is used to facilitate proprioception and muscle function, providing active support and relief of pain. Fundamentally different from traditional Physiotherapy methods of taping, it supports the joint whilst allowing it to move through the full range.
Clinical Pilates is perfect for retraining overused muscles and strengthening weak stability structures, contributing to muscle imbalances. These are common after various activities like sports training or desk work, and often lead to issues like back, neck, and shoulder pain.
“When I first saw Gemma, I was unable to stand up straight or walk even short distances unaided. I am now pain free, straight and able to attend weekly Pilates Classes.” — Emma, Burley-in-Wharfedale.
