Commonly Treated

As we all know, the jobs we do, the sports we play, and the way we sit all have an affect on our joints and muscles and unfortunately sometimes our bodies just cannot cope with those demands. At Pure Physio we deal with a wide range of musculoskeletal injuries and using a comprehensive array of treatment techniques will endeavour to get you back to the rigours of your day-to-day life as quickly as we can.

Back pain is probably the most common complaint any physiotherapist has to deal with. Many causes include; long periods sitting in the chair at work or in the car, repeated bending, lifting or carrying, heavy impact sports, being overweight, poor core stability muscle function, sleeping in odd positions, during or after pregnancy…..the list goes on. Often the treatment is simple and we will provide you with comprehensive advice to help manage your back better in the future.

Sprains and strains can be sport related, or caused by innocuous trips or slips, doing repetitive activities such as gardening or even using the keyboard too much at work. All muscle and ligament problems can be dealt with and if physiotherapy management is not appropriate then guidance will be given as to where to get the best treatment.

These types of injuries are wide ranging from shoulder strains from playing tennis to shin and foot problems from running, and everything in between. We aim to do everything possible to keep you out on that court or pounding those streets but not to the detriment of your body. Often leaving things to worsen only makes it more difficult to treat, so, when you start feeling a niggle, get it looked at quickly!

For some conditions physiotherapy will not be the entire remedy. When surgery is needed it is essential to have the right advice before and after operations in order for optimal results to be achieved. We deal with the rehabilitation of all orthopaedic surgery procedures, providing a comfortable treatment environment, state-of-the-art private gym, plentiful nearby parking and no stairs!

With excellent working relationships with local consultants we aim to provide a continuous pathway of care so the journey from pre-op to full recovery is as seamless and comprehensive as possible.

The day-to-day grind of sitting at the computer or sitting in the car can play havoc with your anatomy. The repetitive loading of your joints is sometimes too much and pain results. Physiotherapy can help to treat your immediate problem but also give long-term solutions to the problem such as exercises and postural advice.

Biomechanics is the science of how our joints move in relation to each other and how the forces going through our bodies are distributed. Ideally those forces need to be spread over our joint surfaces so that no one structure takes on too much as the result is tissue damage and then pain.
Causes of problems include; the wearing of poor or inappropriate footwear, leading to foot, ankle, or knee pain; or changing a golf swing, which can often result in back pain.
The physiotherapist can assess the relative stresses on the affected areas and advise on strategies to decrease those excessive loading forces.

The head is affected by so many structures together with other environmental conditions. As physiotherapists we focus on the way the skeletal and muscular systems exert pressure onto the head. There are many factors influencing this including; posture, decreased neck movements, whiplash injuries, jaw movements and irritated nerves.

At our site at Elev8, on Haggs Farm Business Park we provide a fully equipped, state-of-the-art private gym specifically designed for client rehabilitation following injury or surgery. Exercise programmes are at the heart of any physiotherapy rehabilitation regime and constant monitoring and progression is paramount in achieving excellent results.
In addition, Pure Physio liases with some of the best personal trainers in the area who are very willing to take on your further health and fitness needs if you feel this is appropriate.

Whatever the time of year or a person's stage in life, we all start exercising sometime, and with that comes the inherent risk of overdoing it and resulting in injury. To decrease this risk, our physiotherapists provide a one-off full body screen to identify any possible injury 'hot-spots' and then provide advice and exercises to complement your individual training programme.

As part of a holistic injury management plan sometimes acupuncture can be very helpful in the management of pain and the breakdown of scar tissue. Our physiotherapists are experienced acupuncturists and members of the Acupuncture Association of Chartered Physiotherapists.
