What I treat

The sore bit is often not the guilty bit.

Grouped by area — the problems that come through the door most often, and the honest version of where I would start looking for each one.

Neck & head

Usually the desk, not the neck. I check your upper back and shoulders before I touch it.

  • Neck pain and stiffness
  • Tension headaches
  • Desk and screen posture
  • Whiplash, after the acute phase
  • Jaw and TMJ tension
  • Restricted head rotation

Shoulders & arms

Impingement, frozen shoulder, overhead pressing. We test the range first, then find what is guarding.

  • Frozen shoulder
  • Impingement and pinching
  • Rotator cuff strain
  • Upper back and trap tension
  • Tennis and golfer’s elbow
  • Overhead pressing pain

Lower back

Most low back pain I see in the clinic starts at the hips. That is where we look first.

  • Non-specific lower back pain
  • Sciatic-type leg pain
  • Lifting and deadlift strain
  • Morning stiffness
  • Long-drive and desk ache
  • Post-pregnancy back pain

Hips & glutes

Tight hips turn up as back pain, knee pain, or a slower parkrun. Sometimes all three at once.

  • Hip flexor tightness
  • Glute weakness
  • Piriformis pain
  • Reduced hip rotation
  • Groin strain
  • Hip pain when running

Hamstrings & calves

Hamstrings that keep tightening up are usually a strength problem, not a stretching one.

  • Recurring hamstring tightness
  • Hamstring strain rehab
  • High hamstring tendon pain
  • Calf strain and tightness
  • Achilles tendon pain
  • Sprinting and hill work

Knees, ankles & feet

Knee pain is often a hip or an ankle problem wearing a disguise. We assess the whole chain.

  • Runner’s knee
  • IT band pain
  • Patellar tendon pain
  • Knee pain on stairs
  • Post-operative knee rehab
  • Plantar fasciitis

How I look at it

Where it hurts is where it hurts. It is rarely where it started.

Knee pain is frequently an ankle or a hip wearing a disguise. Most of the low back pain I see in the clinic starts with hips that have stopped rotating. Neck pain is usually the desk.

That is why the first appointment involves testing how you move rather than going straight to the sore spot. Treating the symptom feels great for about four days.

If it were as simple as rubbing the painful bit, you would have fixed it yourself by now.

Also common

Not on the list?

These come up regularly too. If yours is not here, ask — and if it is not something I should be treating, I will tell you that instead.

  • Sciatica
  • Shin splints
  • Tennis elbow
  • Golfer’s elbow
  • Carpal tunnel
  • Frozen shoulder
  • Rotator cuff
  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Achilles tendinopathy
  • IT band syndrome
  • Runner’s knee
  • Groin strain
  • Rib and thoracic pain
  • Post-operative recovery
  • Postural fatigue
  • Repetitive strain
  • Scar tissue
  • Pregnancy-related back pain
When to see someone else first. Sudden severe pain after trauma, numbness or weakness that is getting worse, unexplained weight loss, or pain that wakes you every night — see a GP before booking. If you describe any of those to me, that is what I will tell you.
