Total Physiotherapy Southport

Adam has been immense for me, I had a series of back spasms which left me crippled and in need or urgent treatment he fitted me into his schedule early the next morning and using a combination of deep tissue massage, acupuncture and physio exercises I stopped having the spasms and now back in the gym! Top guy, knowledgeable and does a fab job.

I hurt my ankle weeks ago and x ray showed nothing broken but wasnt getting better! So many people told me to rest it which I did as much as possible. Recently got to into exercise so stopped doing certain workouts. Anyway Adam has basically told me what Ive done and what my limits are! Wish Id gone weeks ago! Thank you Adam!

Easy and quick to book appointments,Adam listened to my issues in my first session and did physio to try and pinpoint the issue. Was given exercises to do at home and within 2 sessions my issues were significantly better! Have finished treatment after my third appointment but would certainly return if I have any further problems.

Ok. Any therapy works well because the person is listened to. This they did and provided me with what I needed. I was a complex case exercises were given for these areas to name a few: hip, pelvis, gilets , legs, shoulder, under arm, right shoulder, right chest, neck, both upper and lower spine areas and between shoulder blades. [I had a new injury lower back injury caused in part by wrongfully been treated by the NHS for referred pain years ago after a RTA side impact affecting the right side of me and my upper back. With MRI scans years ago not being available but with my own knowledge about my old injury and now with the new MRI scans results the physiotherapist and I could work together to treat the correct muscles.] My experience is physiotherapy only works if the correct exercises are given and you put in the effort yourself at home. Occasionally if the physiotherapist manipulates muscles this adds to the help but it on its own will not always cure the problem. Each therapist has a range of experience therefore work with them, give them feedback on each appointment ensure you understand how to do your exercises as these are skills that you are developing to help maintain your physical health in areas that have be injured or weakened over time. Yes it cost money but its about the same as other private therapies do therefore I wish the NHS could provide the correct level of support to all of us which in my case I needed so I could return to work knowing I was strong enough to not repeat damage again. In 2019 the NHS offered 4 appointments with a long wait and gaps between each appointment. Where as this Total Physiotherapy offered appointments approximately every 2 weeks and you can start work on reduce pain and reduce the risk of further injury once all medical checks have been done. There for me there was no delay. My advice is: Any physiotherapist needs a clear understanding whats going on in your first appointment for the real work to continue. Their aim is for you to recover wherever possible. This means on attending appointments you should be prepared update them about your struggles and areas of weakness as well as what improved. This means it maybe necessary (as in my case) for you to reveal areas of skin for the physiotherapist to see how muscles are affected. You may wish to bring a towel or think how best to dress for modesty. Good luck with your recovery and remember sometimes doing relaxing or slow gentle muscles strengthening exercises for fun like walking, swimming or Pilates can at times also help alongside Physiotherapist just ask your GP or physio what best for your type of injury as painkillers are not a cure but a last resort.
