Joint Manipulation

When joints become ceased up or feel like they have locked, manipulation is a quick and effective way of releasing the joint and restoring normal movement. This specialist skill involves positioning the symptomatic joint in a specific position and then gapping it with a small but quick stretch. Sometimes a 'pop' is felt. Sometimes immediate pain relief is felt as well as muscle relaxion following the manipulation. This type of treatment is usually followed up with some slower stretches and some self-help stretches to prevent the joint ceasing up again.

Massage Therapy

Massage is a name that encompasses a whole variety of soft tissue treatment techniques. These include very gentle yet effective Muscle Energy Treatments, Sports Massage, Soft Tissue, Fascial Release and deep tissue manipulation techniques. Whether due to injury or following surgery, scar tissue can prevent normal movement occurring. Specific stretching and manipulation of soft tissue may be needed to start the recovery, before more general self-help stretches can take over. We will discuss the variety of techniques recommend which ones will benefit you. Often soft tissue treatment is combined with other modalities such as Ultrasound or exercise.

 

 

Injuries- treatment and rehabilitation


Sports injuries, accidents, and repetitive strain injuries.
We will thoroughly assess the injury and decide if further tests or imaging may be needed for diagnosis. We then design a personalised treatment and rehabilitation programme, this could be for an athlete returning to top level sport, or someone just wanting to return to some pain free time maintaining a garden. We treat injuries correctly from the start, guiding your rehabilitation through the early healing stages and progressing back to full tissue strength. A key part of our input is to correct the reason it may have happened in the first place. Repetitive overload injuries require early management, training program adjustments, movement analysis, correctiveexercise and soft tissue work.
