Help for conditions where traditional routes, medication or surgery haven't worked.
Over the past 30 years we have treated many conditions that patients may not expect physiotherapy to help — often after traditional medical routes, medication or surgery have not worked. If you are living with one of the conditions below, we would be glad to talk to you about how we may be able to help.
Bell's PalsyAcupuncture and muscle stimulation to aid nerve and muscle recovery.
Bell's palsy causes sudden weakness of the muscles on one side of the face. We use a combination of acupuncture and muscle stimulation to aid the recovery of the facial nerve and muscles.
End-Stage Stroke RehabilitationTailored gym programmes and physiotherapy for stiffness, spasticity, movement, balance and joint pain.
Long after formal stroke rehabilitation has finished, many people still live with stiffness, spasticity, reduced movement, poor balance and joint pain. We combine tailored programmes in our rehabilitation gym with hands-on physiotherapy to keep making progress.
Functional Neurological Disorder (FND)We have successfully treated patients living with FND.
Functional Neurological Disorder affects how the brain and body send and receive signals, and can cause symptoms such as weakness, tremor and difficulty walking. We have successfully treated patients with this condition, using a patient-centred programme built around their goals.
Tension HeadachesOften misdiagnosed as migraines — treated with acupuncture and manipulation, followed by a postural protocol.
Tension headaches are often misdiagnosed as migraines. We treat them with acupuncture and manipulation, followed by a postural protocol to stop them coming back.
Thoracic Outlet SyndromeOften misdiagnosed as a neck disc problem — treated with acupuncture, manipulation, mobilisation and postural control.
Thoracic outlet syndrome — compression of the nerves or blood vessels between the collarbone and first rib — is often misdiagnosed as a disc problem in the neck. Our treatment combines acupuncture, manipulation, mobilisation and postural control.
Trigeminal NeuralgiaA specific acupuncture protocol that can help avoid over-medication and surgery.
Trigeminal neuralgia causes sudden, severe facial pain. We use a specific acupuncture protocol which can help patients avoid over-medication and surgery.
VertigoAcupuncture, manipulation and the Epley or Semont manoeuvres as appropriate.
Vertigo — a sensation that you or your surroundings are spinning — can have several causes. Depending on yours, we use acupuncture, manipulation and the Epley or Semont repositioning manoeuvres.
Every patient is different. Contact us to discuss your situation and whether our approach is right for you.
