Specialist treatment for back pain using manual therapy, exercise programs and lifestyle modifications. Our evidence-based approach addresses both symptoms and underlying causes. Targeted interventions help restore mobility and prevent future issues through posture and movement pattern correction.

We treat professional athletes and recreational players alike, focusing on restoring function and preventing re-injury through biomechanical assessment and tailored recovery plans.

Specialist management for long-term pain conditions using neuroscience-based approaches. Our programmes retrain pain processing systems while maintaining functional capacity. Treatment combines education, graded exercise and lifestyle modifications to improve quality of life for complex pain presentations.

Questions
What makes Spinalphysio different from other physiotherapy clinics?
Our approach combines clinical expertise with lifestyle modification guidance to address root causes. We focus on patient education and prevention through bespoke exercise programs developed from Olympic-level sports medicine experience.
Do you treat conditions beyond back pain?
Yes, we treat all musculoskeletal conditions including sports injuries, joint pain, persistent pain syndromes, and headaches. Our therapists have experience with post-operative rehabilitation and tendinopathies.
Are virtual consultations as effective as in-person sessions?
For many conditions, virtual consultations provide effective assessment and treatment guidance. We use video analysis and home exercise programming. Physical examination sessions are scheduled when necessary for accurate diagnosis.
How long does a typical treatment course last?
Most patients complete treatment in 6-12 sessions. We focus on active rehabilitation through home exercise programs to achieve lasting results with minimal visits, though chronic cases may require longer management.
What should I expect during my first appointment?
Initial assessment includes detailed history taking, physical examination and movement analysis. We'll provide clear diagnosis explanation, initial treatment, and start your personalised rehabilitation programme with home exercises.
Do you offer corporate physiotherapy services?
While we focus on individual patient care, our expertise in posture and ergonomics can benefit workplace wellness programmes. We provide education on injury prevention and movement optimisation for occupational health contexts.

Report
I have attended around 20 sessions with Charles following a disc injury that left me in excruciating pain and unable to walk without assistance. Having now made a full recovery, I can say that Charles is an excellent professional with an impressively acute knowledge of the anatomy and body mechanics. He is able to precisely manipulate the body to achieve his goal ( reduce pain, improve mobility etc..) and I could always feel an improvement during and after my sessions. Charles is also great at explaining concepts simply and uses simple analogies to describe the condition/injury and how it is evolving

Report
Highly recommended. I saw Charles as I had a trapped nerve in my neck which was causing me constant pain through my back and arm. Within a few sessions the problem was resolved and going forward I have been given some exercises and tips to help me avoid a recurrence. Really excellent professional and friendly service.

Report
I went to see Kevin after two excruciating bouts of sciatica I could hardly walk. His confident, expert and thoughtful diagnoses fully explained why I was experiencing pain; his treatments helped me to recover; his recommendations for enjoyable and moderately demanding daily exercises have inspired me to keep myself fit and pain-free. And I got some great golf tips as well. Thoroughly recommended.

Kevin was incredible and completely transformed my experience of chronic back pain within a matter of weeks. I had almost completely lost hope of returning to the sport I loved but his approach was so different and effective. I cannot recommend highly enough.
