Choosing a physiotherapist to help you with your injury, operation or pain condition is your choice. They do not all work in the same way.
Each physio has their own approach and belief system, you just have to find the one that fits with yours.
At Principle Physiotherapy we believe strongly that everyone has the capability to get better. You may have to redefine what that means sometimes if you are unable to return to your previous level of function, however we always striv...e to get you to your full potential.
We do not dwell on passive treatments which require you to lie on a treatment table throughout your whole time with us. The more active in your recovery the better your outcome.
Active involvement in your recovery means taking the information we provide you in appointments and integrating that into your day to day routines and habits. Oh yeah! And most likely undertaking a regular exercise routine with us and in your own time.
If you feel you can get more out of your recovery, find the Physiotherapist that believes in your potential and is passionate about your success.
Here are our contact details if you would like to speak to us.

Struggling to bend forwards due to back pain?
My client came in this morning with pain in his lower back which worsens when bending forwards. This has been a recurrent problem which normally last 4 days. He was 70% better after repeating this routine 4x this morning.
Try this exercise routine.
... - Only move onto the next exercise once the one you are doing becomes comfortable. - Relax throughout
Exercise 1 - In a sitting position, take a deep breath in, then bend down towards your toes at the same time as breathing out. Then curl back up to a sitting position while breathing in. Repeat until comfortable.
Exercise 2 - repeat exercise 1 and as you bend forward stand up and continue breathing out. Then while breathing in bend forwards with a relaxed spine and sit down. Sit up tall and then repeat until comfortable.
Exercise 3 - In a standing position, take a deep breath in, then bend down towards your toes at the same time as breathing out. Then breathing in curl back up to a standing position while. Repeat until comfortable.
Exercise 4 - repeat exercise 3 and hold a light weight.
If this helps then repeat throughout he day several times a day. Then repeat daily and use as a preventative measure so your back pain doesn’t come back.
If this doesn’t help then contact me to find out what else you can try.

Claire had spinal surgery on New Year’s Eve after several months of back, leg and foot pain as well as pins and needles and numbness in her foot.
Claire’s goal was to return to her kettle bell class.
... As you can see she is managing well, so I have given her the go ahead to join in with the class this week.
Great work Claire!
Goal setting is key to anyone’s recovery.

Have you given up on your favourite sport or hobby because of an injury?
I know how hard it is to get back to fitness after an injury, I’ve been there many times.
There are many barriers which may seem impossible to get over.
... You might not trust the stability of the injured body part anymore, you might have lost the strength around the injured area, or you might have lost confidence in your ability to do what you used to do.
Did I hear you say ‘that’s right’?
Well, being a Physiotherapist and having overcome knee surgery, multiple ankle sprains and a recent shoulder separation I have developed and utilised many rehabilitation programmes for myself and my clients to get back to playing sport.
With each injury I have had to overcome the negativity that can become all consuming, with that I have worked hard on improving my mentality as well as supporting others to strengthen theirs.
If you want to give your hobby/sport another go but need some support getting there I can help you.
Here is what i can offer you; - an individually tailored rehabilitation programme - Expert support and advice - Education about your injury - Planning and goal setting support - Physiotherapy treatment

Sam’s physio story.
Sam came to me with sciatica which came on when she had been inactive for long periods. Part of her job involves driving long distances which didn’t help matters.
Sam expected standard Physiotherapy when she came to see me. This may have included some hands on treatment and gentle exercises, however I understood from her story that she needed to make some lifestyle changes and for her symptoms to improve she would need to become more active on a regular... basis. Sam was keen to try out our patient pathway and she has never looked back.
We commenced regular rehab/exercise sessions in the gym to improve her flexibility, mobility, strength and general fitness. She noticed a very quick response from the sessions and found that her sciatica symptoms were better day to day and the long drives were no longer such a problem.
She has now been training with me for the last 2 years in which she has made some fantastic progress. She now interprets pain differently and is more confident to keep moving when pain is present. She has gained strength and now notices that she is able to lift and move things she could never do before. Sam has lost weight and tells me all her clothes fit better and most importantly her sciatica rarely bothers her.
Our patient pathway is designed to work around all our customers needs and supports those with pain and injury to become fitter, stronger and injury free. We believe quick fixes will only provide you with short term relief and that is why we provide you with sustainable and long term solutions for your pain and injury.
