Physiotherapy

Our team of thoughtful & professional patient-centered clinicians with many years of experience and extensive post-graduate qualifications offer real solutions that help manage and recover from a wide range of problems.

Hands-on treatment

As a patient, you need to know that the whom you are seeing has the appropriate skills, training, and experience to assess and deliver the most appropriate treatment that you require. You want thorough quality treatment, delivered with integrity, quality, and compassion.

By “hands-on” treatment – we mean that much of the treatment that you will receive will involve mobilising and manipulating the joint/soft tissue/skeletal structures and nerves in a way that is designed to provide relief from pain and a return to full function.

In addition, you”ll be shown exercises that will help maintain any improvements we achieve together in the clinic and this will go towards continuing your recovery and preventing recurrence or re-injury.

What will happen when you come in?

It’s our goal to get to the root of your problem, not just treat the symptoms.

  • You will receive a thorough assessment including taking a history of the problem you’re presenting with and any other related conditions or information, which will help us build a picture of how we can best help you.

  • This will be followed by a physical examination and we would normally suggest that you wear loose comfortable clothing that will enable easy access for the area being examined.

  • You will receive treatment in the first session, information about the condition, how and why it has occurred. You will get advice on how you can help manage the problem yourself and suggestions of treatment at home.

We’re here to give you the knowledge and support you need to properly identify and treat your problem.

That means providing a clear understanding and plan of how you can overcome the symptoms, prevent re-injury and get back to what you enjoy doing best.

Who do we treat?

We see children, adults and elderly patients and cover all musculoskeletal conditions. We can treat a wide range of patients and you don’t require a GP referral to come and see us.

We also look after corporate clients including local authorities, large local companies offering physiotherapy to their staff, emergency services, sports teams, medico-legal agencies, solicitors, and GP referrals.

Our clinicians also have experience in the treatment of both amateur and elite professional athletes. This has included the Olympics and Commonwealth games and involvement with players at Championship Premier League football teams.

What we deliver in the clinic we also teach to other physiotherapists who travel all over the country to attend MSc Advanced clinic practice at Teesside University.

We provide theory and clinical support for physiotherapists aiming to become the very best they can be in this profession. This enables us to provide you with a bespoke, detailed, and thorough rehabilitation program involving sports-specific regimes that will facilitate a return to your chosen sport.

This approach is not exclusive to sports people and we welcome anyone with routine aches and pain. That may be the first episode of back or neck pain, it could be patients recovering from surgery, or others who are suffering from more chronic conditions that need occasional physiotherapy management.

Have a question? Read the FAQs

  • No you can simply call and make an appointment at a convenient time for yourself.

  • This can vary depending on the condition that you present with but most conditions respond within 4-6 treatment sessions. If you don’t respond as expected then we can guide you on the most appropriate course of action whether that is further investigation, referral to your GP or onward referral to an orthopaedic consultant.

  • We find that the best treatment can be delivered from the clinic as the plinths are height adjustable and it is more practical that trying to help someone in their own home. If you are in too much pain to actually get to the clinic then it may be a little too soon to start physiotherapy treatment and you may be advised to get suitable analgesia to get any acute pain under control.

  • We normally recommend that you wear loose comfortable clothing that will allow easy access to the area being examined. The practitioners will always respect your privacy and use towels where required to maintain your comfort.
