Sports Injury Physio

Jo provides a thorough assessment and enjoys educating her patients about their problem whilst using a range of approaches for rehab including:

  • Pilates including Pilates in pregnancy
  • Acupuncture including dry needling
  • Trigger point release
  • Spinal and peripheral joint mobilisation
  • Deep tissue and myofascial release
  • Postural retraining
  • Exercise therapy
  • Electrotherapy including ultrasound
  • Taping including K-tape and strapping
  • Muscle rebalance and strengthening using Pilates clinically

Jo has extensive training in acupuncture and uses traditional and western dry needling to compliment traditional manual physiotherapy techniques. Dry needling can be useful for those who are picking up training issues such as trigger points in the muscles – this is common in runners and triathletes.

Jo has also trained to instruct Pilates to an advanced level including pregnancy. She leads regular Pilates classes and is excellent at providing specific rehab programmes tailoring to an individual’s problem. Pilates has been used for years by dancers to keep strong. She enjoys resolving pelvic and lower back pain using core conditioning to ensure the problem does not recur in future. This can help those who have been suffering with long term back issues.

Orthopaedics

Jo is interested in postural and repetitive strain related problems which may present over time. She has an interest in normal movement and biomechanics and by finding out a person’s movement faults and imbalances aims to correct the causes of the problem as well helping with symptom relief.

She regularly sees all levels of musicians and has an interest in treating neck, upper limb and hand problems. As a Celllist and wind player herself she understands the physical demands of playing an instrument.
