Pick the problem that matches yours. Each page covers what drives it, what treatment involves and how long recovery usually takes.
The lumbar spine
Low Back Pain and Sciatica
Low back pain, with or without leg symptoms, is the most common reason people see a physiotherapist. Most of it settles with the right movement and a graded return to load, and the assessment exists to work out which kind you have.
Physiotherapy · On enquiry
The plantar fascia
Plantar Fasciitis
Sharp heel pain in the first steps of the morning, easing as you walk and returning after sitting or at the end of a long day. It is the most common cause of heel pain, and it responds to loading the tissue rather than resting it.
Physiotherapy · On enquiry
The common extensor tendon at the lateral epicondyle of the humerus and the common flexor tendon at the medial epicondyle
Tennis Elbow and Golfer's Elbow
Pain on the outside or inside of the elbow, provoked by gripping, lifting a mug or shaking hands. Most cases have nothing to do with either sport, and both respond to progressive loading of the tendon.
Physiotherapy · On enquiry
The posteromedial border of the tibia and its periosteum
Shin Splints
Pain along the inside edge of the shin that comes on during running and eases with rest. It is an overload problem in the bone and surrounding tissue, and the most important job is separating it from a stress fracture.
Physiotherapy · On enquiry
The cervical spine and its nerve roots
Neck and Shoulder Pain
Neck pain, shoulder pain and the overlap between them, including rotator cuff problems, frozen shoulder and pain referred from the neck into the arm. The first task is usually working out which of the two is the source.
Physiotherapy · On enquiry
The patellofemoral joint
Patellofemoral Pain
Pain around or behind the kneecap, worse on stairs, squatting, running, or after a long stretch at a desk. Common in runners and in anyone whose training load climbed quickly. Hip and thigh strengthening is what changes it.
Sports Physiotherapy · On enquiry
The Achilles tendon
Achilles Tendinopathy
Pain and stiffness in the Achilles tendon, usually after an increase in running volume, hill work or speed. It responds to progressive loading rather than rest, which is why it so often lingers for months in people who did the sensible-sounding thing and stopped.
Sports Physiotherapy · On enquiry
The hamstring muscle group at the back of the thigh
Hamstring Strain
The most commonly recurring injury in running and change-of-direction sport. Most reinjuries happen because the return was based on the calendar rather than on measured strength, and that is the part worth getting right.
Sports Physiotherapy · On enquiry
The operated joint and its surrounding musculature
Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
Structured rehabilitation after orthopaedic surgery, from knee and shoulder reconstructions to joint replacements. The operation restores the structure, and the months afterwards decide the result you actually live with.
Physiotherapy · On enquiry
The hip
Hip and Groin Pain
Pain in the groin, the outside of the hip or deep in the buttock, from gluteal tendon problems to hip impingement and early joint changes. Where the pain is felt narrows the cause considerably.
