Physiotherapy

Our team of physiotherapists is trained in therapeutic approaches suitable for a wide range of individuals. They deliver a tailored, whole-person approach to health through manual therapy, health advice, and exercise. As allied healthcare professionals, we are experts in the musculoskeletal system—muscles, joints, and associated tissues—and their relationship with other bodily systems.

Our treatments combine manual therapy, massage, dry needling acupuncture and personalised exercise programs, ensuring each patient receives the most effective care tailored to their specific needs.

In addition to Midtown Wellness Physiotherapy’s expertise in managing acute and chronic musculoskeletal and fitness injuries, our physiotherapists integrate TECAR Therapy using the advanced Winback 4 technology into their treatments. This cutting-edge approach supports pain relief, reduces inflammation, and accelerates healing, complementing their holistic rehabilitation strategies.

To provide the best possible care, we work closely with other healthcare professionals, including consultants, GPs, nurses, podiatrists, personal trainers, psychologists, and nutritionists.

From supporting mothers; keeping the elderly active and mobile; aiding recovery from muscle and joint injuries, or contributing to the management of chronic long-term conditions, our team of physiotherapists will take the time to help you keep healthy and mobile, using expert hands-on treatment, exercise, and health advice.

Physiotherapists will take the time to understand your symptoms, medical history and lifestyle which in turn will help them make an accurate diagnosis of the cause of your issue and formulate a treatment plan with you that will achieve the best outcome.

Your physiotherapist will also need to undertake a physical examination which they will explain to you beforehand. This will often comprise of you undertaking some movements and for the osteopath to examine areas to feel for any tightness in the muscles and stiffness in the joints to identify problems.

Sometimes the cause of the problem may be in a different area to the pain, for example, pain in your lower arm may be linked to the nerves in your neck, so they may need to examine your whole body.

You may find that your physiotherapist may undertake other examinations, such as blood pressure or nerve checks, or even refer you for other tests such as x-rays, MRIs or blood tests. Occasionally they may diagnose an issue that they are unable to treat and may refer you to your GP or another appropriate health professional.

As with any health consultation, they will record this confidential information to form part of your health record and store it in accordance with legal requirements for medical data.

Physiotherapy treatment often involves manual therapy – a range of gentle hands-on techniques that focus on releasing tension, stretching muscles and improving mobility – together with exercises and helpful advice designed to help you relieve or manage your pain, keep active and maintain the best of health.

Before a physiotherapist starts any treatment, they will explain what is involved so you can agree and consent to your course of treatment.

Physiotherapy treatment is usually a very gentle process. There may be times when you experience discomfort during or experience some mild soreness after treatment. This will normally go away within 48 hours. Your osteopath will let you know if they think that any of the techniques they recommend are likely to be uncomfortable.

If you experience serious or unusual symptoms after treatment you should contact your osteopath straight away for advice.

Physiotherapists often work with or refer you to other healthcare professionals as needed to ensure you receive the most appropriate care and treatment.

The number of sessions needed varies based on your condition and individual response. Our goal is to minimize appointments. After your initial assessment and diagnosis, your physiotherapist will provide an estimate of the required treatments and discuss it with you.

Physiotherapists are regulated by law and recognised as an allied health profession by NHS England. This gives them a similar status to dentists or physiotherapists and guarantees an equivalent high level of care.

Your physiotherapists may use dry needling alongside other techniques as needed. Dry needling targets tight muscle spots to help release them. Also known as Medical Acupuncture or Western Medical Acupuncture, this method uses fine needles and is based on modern anatomical and physiological knowledge. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommends acupuncture for chronic pain, tension headaches, and migraines.

These three therapies have similarities and overlap, all aiming to reduce pain by improving structure and function. Each has distinct philosophies and methods to achieve these goals.

Chiropractors and osteopaths both emphasise nerve supply and blood flow, respectively. Chiropractors often focus more on spinal manipulation, while osteopaths use a wider range of techniques, including stretching, massage, cupping, acupuncture and mobilisation. Chiropractors typically have shorter sessions (15-20 minutes) compared to osteopaths (45-60 minutes), which often results in fewer treatments.

Physiotherapists are generally hands-on along with prescribed home exercises.

Osteopathy takes a holistic approach, addressing the whole body and underlying causes rather than just symptoms.
