You're Not Just a Set of Symptoms

Pain and restricted movement can affect everything from getting through the working day to sleeping comfortably, exercising or simply enjoying everyday life.

I’ve had an ongoing back related problem for around a year. I saw Hugh recently and within six weeks my back is in a much better place than where I started. Hugh is very tentative and thorough. He examines meticulously and doesn’t just provide a cookie cutter scheme in an effort to facilitate more work. Instead, Hugh’s very considerate and will address the root issues rather than quick fixes. I would highly recommend Hugh’s services if you are struggling with ongoing pain and wish to relate to somebody who cares, not only about healing, but helping you.

I went in with significant lower back pain that was seriously affecting my day-to-day life, and the difference after treatment has been remarkable. Hugh was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to really understand my symptoms rather than just treating the surface issue. The treatment was thorough and explained clearly throughout, which made me feel confident and reassured.

Hugh was able to help me out whilst I came back to Bridgnorth to visit family. He's helped me make so much progress with my strength and mobility after a nasty ski accident where I ruptured and tore my knee ligaments. He's also provided me with exercises to help me keep up physio. My knee feels so much stronger. Thank you so much.

Hugh will then carry out an appropriate physical assessment, which may include looking at your posture, mobility and the way different areas of your body work together.

He will explain his findings, discuss the treatment options with you and, where appropriate, begin treatment during your appointment.

You'll also receive advice about what you can do between appointments to support your recovery.
