What we see
Conditions & treatments
The problems we assess and manage every week, and the treatment approaches we use to get you moving again.
Conditions we assess and manage
Back and neck pain, including sciatica
Persistent or flare-up pain in your back or neck, sometimes travelling down an arm or leg.
What we assess & how we typically help
- What we assess
- How you move, where movement is limited, and whether nerve symptoms like tingling or numbness are present.
- Typical approach
- Hands-on treatment alongside a graded exercise programme to build strength and confidence in movement again.
Shoulder problems, including frozen shoulder
Pain, stiffness or weakness that makes reaching, lifting or sleeping on that side difficult.
What we assess & how we typically help
- What we assess
- Your shoulder's range of movement, strength and the pattern of pain, to work out what's driving it.
- Typical approach
- A staged plan of manual therapy and targeted exercise, paced to how your shoulder is responding.
Tennis elbow and golfer's elbow
Pain on the outside or inside of the elbow, often worse when gripping or lifting.
What we assess & how we typically help
- What we assess
- Which tendons are irritated, and what everyday movements or grips are keeping it flared up.
- Typical approach
- Loading exercises to build tendon tolerance, plus advice on adapting the activities that aggravate it.
Knee problems
Pain, swelling or a sense of instability affecting how your knee copes with walking, stairs or sport.
What we assess & how we typically help
- What we assess
- Knee alignment, muscle control around the joint, and how it behaves under load.
- Typical approach
- A structured strengthening programme, often alongside manual therapy to ease pain in the early stages.
Hip problems
Groin, buttock or outer-hip pain that limits walking distance, sitting or sleeping position.
What we assess & how we typically help
- What we assess
- Hip and pelvis movement, muscle strength, and how the hip relates to your back and knee.
- Typical approach
- Manual therapy for early relief, moving into a hip and pelvis strengthening programme.
Ankle and foot problems
Sprains, persistent ankle pain, or foot pain that changes how you walk or run.
What we assess & how we typically help
- What we assess
- Ankle stability, foot mechanics and balance, particularly after a sprain or repeated niggles.
- Typical approach
- Balance and strengthening work to rebuild stability, alongside hands-on treatment where needed.
Sports injuries
Muscle strains, ligament sprains and overuse injuries from running, gym training or team sport.
What we assess & how we typically help
- What we assess
- The injured tissue, your training load, and what's realistic for your return-to-sport timeline.
- Typical approach
- A phased return-to-sport plan combining hands-on treatment with sport-specific strength and conditioning.
Post-surgery rehabilitation
Regaining movement, strength and confidence after joint or soft-tissue surgery.
What we assess & how we typically help
- What we assess
- Your surgeon's protocol, your current range of movement, and where you are against expected milestones.
- Typical approach
- Guided rehabilitation that follows your surgical protocol, building load gradually as you're cleared to.
Headaches and dizziness (vestibular)
Headaches linked to neck tension, and dizziness or balance problems affecting daily life.
What we assess & how we typically help
- What we assess
- Neck movement and muscle tension, and — where relevant — balance and eye-movement tests for vestibular symptoms.
- Typical approach
- Manual therapy and specific exercises for neck-related headaches, or a vestibular rehabilitation programme where indicated.
Women's and pelvic health
Pelvic pain, bladder or core-related concerns, including during and after pregnancy.
What we assess & how we typically help
- What we assess
- Pelvic floor and core function, movement patterns, and what matters most for your daily life or return to exercise.
- Typical approach
- A private, unhurried assessment followed by a tailored exercise and self-management plan.
Arthritis and long-term pain management
Ongoing joint pain or a long-term pain condition affecting what you can comfortably do.
What we assess & how we typically help
- What we assess
- Which movements and activities are affected, and what's realistic to work towards together.
- Typical approach
- A steady, sustainable exercise and movement plan, adjusted as your symptoms change over time.
How we treat
Treatment approaches
Assessment and diagnosis
A thorough, hands-on assessment of how you move, where you're restricted, and what's likely driving your symptoms — explained in plain English at your first visit.
Helps with: Every new patient, and anyone returning after a change in their symptoms.
Manual therapy
Hands-on techniques — joint mobilisation, soft-tissue work and stretching — used to ease pain and restore movement.
Helps with: Stiff joints, tight muscles, and the early, most uncomfortable stage of many injuries.
Exercise-based rehabilitation
A structured, progressive exercise programme built around your goals, taught in clinic and practised at home.
Helps with: Building lasting strength and resilience — the core of most rehab plans here.
Acupuncture
Fine needles used alongside other treatment to help settle pain and muscle tension.
Helps with: People who find it eases muscular pain as part of a wider treatment plan.
Sports massage
Focused soft-tissue massage to ease muscle tightness, aid recovery and support training load.
Helps with: Athletes managing training load, and anyone with tight, overworked muscles.
This list doesn’t include injections, scans or diagnostic imaging — for those, your GP or an NHS clinic is the right place to start.
