You’ve likely got questions like: How much will it cost? How many sessions will I need? What if it doesn’t work? Do I need a scan? We’ll cover all of that on your free discovery call so you make the very best decision on your health.

Why Your Shoulder Pain Does Not Settle On Its Own

Many people expect shoulder pain to fade with time, yet for some it lingers for weeks or months.
This is rarely because the body cannot heal, but more often because recovery is unintentionally delayed.

Using pain relief as the main solution
Medication can dull symptoms, but it does not correct what is causing the pain in the first place.

Avoiding movement for too long
Although rest can feel helpful early on, prolonged inactivity often leads to stiffness and slower progress.

Repeating the same medical route
Seeing the GP again often results in more medication or reassurance, rather than a clear plan to resolve the issue.

Trying one size fits all advice
General tips or exercises are not matched to your specific problem and can place extra strain on your back.

See What They're Saying...

Chris was excellent. From the moment I attended his clinic he was fully focussed on the complexities of my injury. I didn’t feel rushed and after a thorough examination he gave me a different diagnosis to those previously given by other physios. He clearly explained what was going on and gave me a detailed exercise plan to follow. I’m now fully recovered, back to my running.and very grateful. First class service 👏

Nick

Chris is by fair the best physio iv ever received treatment from. His knowledge is endless and more importantly a very honest physio who doesn't push on more and more visits. Chris managed to sort my issue in just two treatments. Highly recommended and I have no doubt he is the best around.

Oliver

I’d been suffering with heel/achilles pain after playing football for about a year. It always took a week to heal after a big game. Chris has helped hugely with this and it seems to be a thing of the past!

David

Top service. Very professional from start to finish

Tim

Chris is the best in the industry. Knowledge is second to none, and the application in a rehab setting is outstanding.
Throughout my rehab from a chondroplasty for a chondral knee issue, Chris advised through every stage and guided the way as to exactly how and when to load with strength work, progression of running volumes, and when to let the knee adapt.
Highly recommend for any pathology, especially sports specific.

Glyn

Ben

How many sessions will I need?

This depends on your injury, how long you have had it, and your goals. Some people feel improvement quickly, while others benefit from a structured plan over several sessions. We will discuss this with you after your first appointment.
