I’m always mentioning this to clients.

As toddlers we can all do this, but a decade or two later we can’t do it any more.

Chairs and normal toilets I’m afraid.

If you can’t do this, hold onto a bannister (stops you falling backwards) and try it carefully. It gets easier, but don’t if you have some major knee or back issues.

Not much more than a heading really, but these kind of treatments are what 90% of my clients want, and what I specialise in of course.

💡 Manual therapy offers significant short-term benefits in reducing pain and disability in individuals with Chronic nonspecific low back pain. Like most interventions for Chronic nonspecific low back pain, the effects of manual therapy tend to diminish over time.

This is why I’ve always done both.
Clients really do want some therapeutic touch when they’re paying for treatment.

💡 Both classical massage and placebo massage (with conventional physiotherapy) reduced pain and disability, and improved mobility compared to pre-treatment. However, only conventional physiotherapy plus classical massage improved QoL in NCLBP patients.

I treat all sorts of knee problems in my clinic. Sporting injuries and chronic conditions like osteoarthritis.

With ‘hands on’ treatment and a bespoke care plan I’ve helped countless patients return to activities they love - from high intensity sporting activity to everyday tasks.

If you’re suffering from knee pain, give me a call and we can have a chat about how I can help you.

You can call me on 01344-507400 or send an enquiry in via the website www.elgarphysio.com

Discs are WAY stronger than we think.

🚩 Discs have gained quite a reputation in society today. ⁠
⁠
🤔 Most people tend to view discs as quite fragile, easily injured, and even as easily mobile structures in your spine. ⁠
⁠
🙌🏻 But how accurate are these common beliefs? Read this blog now to learn more!
