What to expect during your physiotherapy session.

If you are planning on booking a session with me, please watch this You Tube video to give you an idea of what a typical session involves. It is about 4 minutes long and details what generally happens in your first appointment as well as the address, what you need to bring, wear and give consent to. I will ask if you have watched and understood the video before any examination takes place.

START is a Physiotherapy and Sports Medicine Clinic that opened in 2011.

It is open to the general public and there is no need to for a GP referral. There is no waiting list so to get assessed and treated promptly just send a message or call the mobile number to book an appointment.

All clients will have free use of the modern gym facilities and free weights while under the supervision of the therapist.

START prides itself on using the most up to date treatments and exclusively "hands-on" as there are no machines like ultrasound or vibration plates. Evidence-based practice and great skills and knowledge are what you are paying for.

Please call Bernie on 07900 555 005 or email bernie@startclinic.co.uk to ask questions about your condition.

Physiotherapy

An experienced physiotherapist will assess your joints, muscles, ligaments and nerves for damage caused by trauma or poor posture or technique. No fancy gadgets or machines. Just a thorough examination and testing to determine what is wrong and what treatment is required.

Hands on

Great physiotherapists can feel the differences between normal and injured tissues with good palpation skills. The use of massage and soft tissue techniques help the body's natural healing more than pain killers can without most of the side effects.

Rehabilitation

Exercise comes in many forms. Where appropriate, clients will be given exercises to help with posture at work or home and a combination of strength, balance, stability and stretching exercises to make a long term difference.

Bernie is now a Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) Certified Medical Professional. Having an intricate knowledge of the stresses the body goes under during the golf swing means a better understanding of potential injuries and swing characteristics.

START Clinic is now able to perform a dynamic screening process which assesses everything from neck range of movement to your ability to stand on one leg with your eyes closed. All 16 tests affect your ability to swing a golf club efficiently. Just working on a few identified areas of stiffness and weakness can dramatically improve your ball striking and decrease the risk of injury.

Having a medical professional who can find what you need is one thing. Being shown how to get it and WHY you need it will make so much more sense. If you understand what your body is missing and how it can affect your swing, you are much more likely to do something about it.

Give it a go. I am totally confident that you will gain more than just information.
