“I’ve been a physiotherapist for over 20 years. During that time, I’ve worked with the England women’s rugby team, Manchester City women’s team, Blackburn Rovers and the McLaren Formula-1 team, and now I want to use those years of sports therapy experience to help you. I believe in a personalised, individualised approach to physiotherapy, whether you’re looking to manage painful symptoms, recover after an injury or simply get stronger and improve your performance.”
Back pain can be a result of multiple factors, often involving a combination of physical, environmental and lifestyle elements.
Back pain symptoms vary depending on the underlying cause. Common signs include localised pain, such as aching or stiffness in a specific area of the back. Radiating pain is a form of pain that spreads to the legs or arms, often due to nerve compression. Symptoms can also include reduced movement, potentially making it difficult to bend, twist or otherwise move the spine. In more extreme cases, a sensation of numbness or tingling can also be present. These issues typically point towards nerve-related issues.
Physiotherapy is a highly effective approach to managing and treating back pain. The Woodford Physio offers a range of services designed to address the root causes of pain, restore mobility and prevent recurrence with gentle manipulation and lifestyle advice.
The first step is a detailed evaluation of your condition. This includes reviewing your medical history, identifying the source of your pain and assessing your posture, strength and mobility.
Based on your assessment, I will create a tailored treatment plan to target your specific needs. This plan may include a combination of therapies such as physiotherapy, therapeutic exercises and postural training.
Physiotherapy also focuses on preventing future episodes of back pain through ongoing support, customised exercise programs and advice on lifestyle factors, such as posture and work environment ergonomics.
Choosing physiotherapy for back pain offers a number of advantages over conventional medication and surgery.
We are delighted to have helped many people stay pain-free and have many 5-star reviews on Google.
Preventing back pain involves maintaining good posture by sitting and standing with a straight back. Using ergonomic furniture while at home or at work, staying active with regular exercise like walking or yoga to strengthen core and back muscles, and lifting safely by bending at the knees and avoiding jerky motions will all help to prevent the onset of painful symptoms on your back. Managing stress through relaxation techniques, maintaining a healthy weight to reduce spinal strain and taking regular breaks to stretch and move around are also essential for keeping your back healthy.
At The Woodford Physio, I am committed to helping you live pain-free. I focus on patient-centred care, prioritising your comfort and goals in your personalised treatment plan. I will address not just your painful symptoms, but also the underlying causes using a holistic approach and state-of-the-art facilities.
