Soft tissue mobilisation is a form of manual physiotherapy using hands-on techniques on your muscles, ligaments and fascia in order to break adhesions, reduce swelling, improve blood flow and optimize your muscle function.
A joint mobilisation is a form of manual physiotherapy using hands-on techniques on the joints to decrease pain and increase the range of movement for optimum joint health.
Specific individualised post-surgery rehabilitation programme to optimise your recovery with a variety of manual hands-on treatments and specifically tailored exercises.
Range of motion exercises are done to preserve flexibility and mobility of the joints on which they are performed. These exercises reduce stiffness, decrease pain and allow you to move more freely.
Strengthening exercises are exercises that are designed to increase the strength of specific or groups of muscles. Weak muscles can increase the risk of injury to the surrounding joints and soft tissues. Specifically tailored strength exercises will reduce injury risk, improve function, improve quality of movement, delay the onset of arthritic conditions and improve performance in all areas of life.
A sport-specific tailored rehabilitation plan will give you the best chance of reducing aches and pains, reducing injury risk, returning to play and improving all-round performance.
In lockdown I fell head over heels with running and it quickly became the highlight of my day, I am not a fast runner or someone who will ever challenge at the front of races but I fell in love with the action of being outdoors and using my body again after many years of Sub Par activity levels after having children. My initial over-enthusiasm led to multiple areas of aches and pains; however, Josh was able to tackle each of them head on and after 4 months of consistently working together I am enjoying 3-4 runs a week pain free and my next goal is to complete my first half marathon.

I have suffered with aches and pains for many years and after seeing 4 different health care professionals with minimal improvements, I was becoming very frustrated and did not think I would play golf again. A friend of mine recommended Josh’s services and Josh was reassuring from the first session; he asked me to bring my golf club to the session and showed me why my hip was hurting and helped me make the necessary changes.

Josh worked with my sons aged 11 and 14. My oldest son is training for his international debut and my youngest son goes to athletics to see his friends. Despite some resistance from my boys at the start, they both ended up looking forward to seeing Josh each week. My youngest son is now pain free and enjoying his athletics twice per week and no longer needs to see Josh. My oldest son is continuing to work with Josh to help him reach the next level in his athletics. Josh has great knowledge around competition, training, sleep and much more.

We’ll advise you on what needs to change in the way you, move and hold yourself so that your problem doesn’t re-occur. We’ll help you build new habits to support your continued progress to full mobility and movement.
