NAILSEA PHYSIO SERVICES

At Nailsea Physio, we believe in treating the whole body rather than treating an injury or medical issue in isolation. That’s why we offer an extensive range of services to help improve movement and function. Read on to find out more.

What to Expect 

The sessions starts with a chat about the history of your current injury and any relevant medical conditions.  You will then be asked about your occupation and sporting/leisure activities to get a holistic view of your lifestyle which will assist in constructing your bespoke treatment and rehabilitation program.

​

Next, is a physical examination which may require you to undress down to underwear or suitable vest and shorts. There will then be specific tests which will help identify the structures which may be causing your problem. This information will then be put together with your history and lifestyle habits to draw a conclusion and treatment plan, which will be explained to you. Providing you are happy with the proposed management plan, treatment will begin.

​

You will have a full explanation of the anatomy involved and the potential mechanisms by which your problem is occurring.  This will help you understand why the recommended exercises and treatments are important to your recovery.

Physiotherapy 

All of our Chartered 

Physiotherapists are HCPC Registered  

Physiotherapy is the treatment and prevention of injury and disease by natural means. The aim of physiotherapy is to help alleviate pain, restore normal movement and function and help return the body to its natural balanced state without chemical intervention. But it doesn’t just stop there, as well as relieving symptoms, physiotherapy teaches long term self management of musculo-skeletal problems enabling people to prevent further episodes.

McTinoney Chiropractic

Registered Chiropractor 

McTimoney practice is quite distinctive from mainstream chiropractic, and the techniques are more in line with physiotherapy. The main tool is a specific type of adjustment that doesn’t cause the audible popping or cracking sound.  Quick, gentle adjustments are used to bring your body back into balance, reducing restrictions, relieving pain, and promoting natural healing, making it a comfortable technique to receive.  The McTimoney technique is a gentle and effective manipulative technique that treats the whole body to maintain and correct the alignment of the spine and allow the nervous system to function at its optimum potential. 

Victoria specialises in podiatric biomechanics and will assess how the structure, alignment and function of your feet and legs affect the overall health of your body. If you are dealing with pain issues in your ankles, hips, lower back and other areas of your body, it can often be associated with the feet and legs.
