Our Physiotherapy Treatments

A rehabilitation programme is a fundamental part of recovery from pain and injury whether it be from sports or day-to-day life. 

A bespoke programme is designed for each patient to help them restore range of motion, strength, confidence or movement control depending on the nature of the condition. Programmes are accessed via a software platform “Rehab Guru” meaning your programme can be easily accessed from your smartphone/tablet or downloaded as a pdf if you prefer.

Experiencing an injury when you enjoy being active can be hugely frustrating! We understand how important participating in sports is for your mental and physical health as well as the social connections and community that come with it.

Here at AC Physio, our expertise is sports injuries and we have worked with teams including Bromsgrove Rugby, GB Wheelchair Basketball and GB Judo. 

Wherever possible, we aim to keep you doing your activity as much as we can whilst you rehabilitate. If that is not possible we can give you other options and strategies to help. We also work closely with local S&C coaches and trainers to ensure your rehabilitation is complete. Our aim is to get you back to doing what you love, as quickly as possible, maybe even being better than you were before!

Manual therapy is the “hands-on” treatment many people associate with Physiotherapy and Sports Therapy. 

This can involve mobilising and manipulating joints and soft tissues, or sports massage. These treatments can complement your rehabilitation programme by reducing pain and improving mobility.

Advice and Education form an essential part of Physiotherapy. The more you can understand about your injury, the more able you are to help yourself both in terms of recovery AND preventing issues from recurring. Tips, tricks and self management tools are also provided alongside any
rehabilitation.

Massage involves manipulating the soft tissues of the body and can be part of managing an injury or part of your maintenance/recovery from training or competition. Massage can reduce pain and improve mobility and enhance feelings of well-being, regardless of your activity levels. Contrary to popular belief, Sports Massage doesn’t have to be excruciatingly painful to be effective!

Acupuncture originates from a traditional Chinese medicine.
Whilst there is very little good quality medical evidence for long-term effectiveness of acupuncture, in some people, it can provide pain relief which can help as part of your recovery.

Anna has completed post-graduate training in acupuncture in addition to her Physiotherapy training. Medical grade, sterile needles are used in the clinic and we are fully licensed.

Our modern, busy lives are often not so good for our health. Many of us find that we are sitting for long periods, and have other factors such as poor sleep patterns or life stress which can impact or even cause pain or injury. Here at AC Physio, we can help with advice and goal setting to encourage behavior change.
