“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.”
Physio rehab is a structured approach to restoring physical function and aiding recovery after injury or medical treatment. Its aim is to reduce pain, improve mobility, rebuild strength and prevent re-injury.
I will assess your condition, set realistic recovery goals and create a personalised exercise program combined with hands-on techniques like manual therapy, massage and stretching. The aim is to optimise your healing and get you back to your daily activities, whether that’s playing and competing in sports, working or simply enjoying life pain-free.
We are delighted to have helped many people stay pain-free and have many 5-star reviews on Google.
Injuries such as sprains and strains, fractures and muscle tears can happen to anyone, whether you’re an athlete competing at a high level, or someone who simply twisted their ankle during a walk in the park. The key to a successful recovery lies in early intervention, a carefully planned rehabilitation program and sports physiotherapy.
Each individual case will vary, but typical post-injury physio rehab will begin with a focus on reducing pain, swelling and inflammation. This might involve gentle movements, ice/heat therapy and supportive taping or bracing. Following this, I will look at introducing controlled movement in order to restore range of motion. Then I will begin progressive exercises to build your strength, and functional exercises that target sport- or activity-specific movements to ensure a safe return to the activities you love. Throughout your rehabilitation journey, I will continuously monitor and adapt your plan to suit your specific needs to keep you on track.
Physiotherapy can play a vital role in post-injection rehabilitation. While injections like corticosteroids can reduce pain and inflammation, they don’t always address the underlying causes of the issue. Physiotherapy focuses on correcting movement patterns that may have contributed to the original injury or condition. A tailored physiotherapy program ensures you get the most out of the injection’s effects, while promoting long-term recovery and reducing the risk of recurring pain or injury.
You can expect a structured, personalised plan that’s unique to you. Your treatment will be designed to help you regain strength, mobility and function while reducing pain and preventing complications. Early sessions may focus on gentle movements, pain management and improving your circulation to promote healing. As we progress, I will target strength and balance, guiding you through each stage through regaining basic movement to performing everyday tasks and, eventually, returning to more demanding activities or sports. Regular assessments will ensure your program adapts to your recovery speed, keeping you on track for a safe and speedy recovery.
The duration varies based on the injury or surgery you’ve had. Minor injuries may take a few weeks, while post-surgery recovery can take much longer.
You might experience some discomfort, but rehab shouldn’t cause severe pain. I always strive to ensure the exercises stay within a safe, tolerable range.
Absolutely! Home exercises are an essential part of your recovery. As part of your rehabilitation journey, I will guide you on proper technique and progression of exercises you can safely do in the comfort of your own home.
Skipping rehab can lead to stiffness, weakness and sub-optimal healing, increasing the risk of re-injury or chronic pain. Physiotherapy ensures you heal properly and regain full function.
Your return depends on the type of injury or surgery, and how well you progress. As part of your treatment plan, I will clear you when your strength, mobility and stability are sufficiently restored.
Whether you’re bouncing back from an injury, surgery or recent corticosteroid injection therapy, The Woodford Physio is here to support you every step of the way. With personalised treatment plans and a commitment to helping you achieve your goals, I will help you get back to doing what you love, stronger and healthier than ever.
