What Physiotherapy Services Do I Offer?

At Ascend Physiotherapy, part of Ascend Rehab & Running, I provide evidence‑based musculoskeletal physiotherapy to help you move better, feel stronger, and return to the activities you love — whether that’s daily life, work, sport, or running.

My approach is simple: thorough assessment, clear diagnosis, hands‑on treatment, education and advice and personalised rehabilitation that empowers you to take control of your recovery.

 

What I Treat

I work with a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, including:

• Back and neck pain

• Joint pain (hip, knee, shoulder, ankle, wrist)

• Muscle strains and ligament sprains

• Tendon problems (Achilles, patellar, rotator cuff, tennis elbow)

• Sciatica and nerve‑related pain

• Postural and movement‑related pain

• Running‑related injuries

• Post‑operative rehabilitation

• Persistent or recurring pain

If you’re unsure whether physiotherapy is right for you, I’m always happy to advise.

 

What to Expect at Your Appointment

Comprehensive Assessment

Your first session includes a detailed assessment to understand your symptoms, lifestyle, and goals. This may include:

• Movement and mobility testing

• Strength and control assessment

• Functional testing (e.g., squatting, lifting, running mechanics)

• Neurological screening if needed

 

Hands‑On Treatment

Where appropriate, I use manual therapy techniques to help reduce pain, improve mobility, and support your rehabilitation, including:

• Joint mobilisations

• Soft tissue techniques

• Myofascial release

• Assisted stretching

• Trigger point work

 

Personalised Exercise Rehabilitation

Exercise is the foundation of long‑term recovery. You’ll receive a tailored programme that may include:

• Strengthening

• Mobility and flexibility work

• Stability and motor control training

• Balance and proprioception

• Return‑to‑sport or return‑to‑run progression

All exercises are explained clearly, quite often Rosie will ask whether she can film you (on your device) exercising for personal reference and she will write you a tailored rehab program if required. 

 

Education & Self‑Management

Understanding your condition is key to recovery. I provide clear, practical guidance on:

• What’s causing your symptoms

• How to manage flare‑ups

• Activity modification

• How to stay active safely

• Long‑term strategies to prevent recurrence

Post‑Operative Rehabilitation

• ACL reconstruction

• Hip replacement (total hip arthroplasty)

• Knee replacement (total knee arthroplasty)

Post‑operative rehab focuses on restoring mobility, strength, confidence, and function at a pace that’s safe, evidence‑based, and tailored to your goals.
