Physio could be just what you need when pain and injury are stopping you from living life to the full

Michael is a musculoskeletal specialist who uses his 16 years of experience and knowledge to help you understand your problem and deliver an effective treatment plan to get you active again.

He will offer you hands on pain relief and advice to settle and resolve your symptoms, but he will also address the underlying causes so you can get back to the activities you love and be the fittest, strongest and healthiest you can be.

You will find that Michael will listen to your story, piece together the puzzle of your specific pain or injury and explain everything in a way that’s clear and easy to understand. He will help you to make sense of what’s going on, why it’s happened, and how he can fix it. You will work with him to agree a structured treatment plan with key milestones designed to help you achieve your personal goals, be it walking, running, weight training, gardening or simply getting back to work and enjoying life again.

Through his methodical, structured approach, Michael will not only help to relieve your pain, but he will also aim to empower you to move better, prevent future problems, and get back to living life to the fullest. Every step of the way, you’ll feel supported and confident as you progress towards your goals.

Michael’s 3-step approach to quick relief with lasting success

1. Find the cause

Michael will use his expert knowledge to look at the impact of present and previous injuries; muscle imbalances; issues with movement and posture, and the body’s overall pain system that may be overactive. He will identify what’s going wrong and explain the root causes of your problem.

2. Pain relief

With Michael’s skilled ‘hands on’ treatment and advice you should feel an immediate difference as he helps to settle your symptoms and promote healing in the quickest time possible. But preventing your pain or injury from returning requires a structured plan.

3. Lasting success

You will find most long-term success by working with Michael on a structured step-by-step treatment plan where you will be invited to set your own goals as part of the recovery plan. This will act as your roadmap to progress and get you back to the activities you enjoy with less risk of injury.

How does physio differ from sports massage?

Sports massage is an ideal hands-on treatment for the relief of pain and tension, but it won’t provide you with a full understanding and diagnosis or a recovery plan in the way that an experienced physio can.

Physiotherapy is much more about identifying and treating the cause of the problem rather than just the symptoms. So, if you are experiencing a long-term problem, sports massage and hands-on therapy alone will not get to the cause of your pain, or prevent it from coming back.

Michael can offer both, but, in truth, if you want to get active again and feel confident that your pain or injury won’t return, then finding and treating the cause through physio is the better choice for you.

Private physio offers the flexibility and patient resources that, sadly, our over-stretched NHS system often struggles to provide.

With Michael you can expect to receive a personalised and detailed service which looks at the underlying causes. He will give you his honest opinion on how many sessions you will need alongside a well-thoughtout plan and no lengthy waiting times. Should you be driven to become your fittest and strongest, you can expect to receive the same care and attention as an elite athlete.
