Joint Pain & Muscle Injury Treatment
Home visits by a qualified physiotherapist
What we do
We provide expert assessment and treatment for joint pain, muscle sprains, and strains in the comfort of your home. Using evidence-based techniques and tailored exercise programmes, we help you recover from injury, reduce pain, and restore normal function.
Whether you're dealing with a recent injury or ongoing joint pain, we'll work with you to understand the cause, manage your symptoms, and develop a rehabilitation plan that fits your lifestyle and goals.
Who it helps
- People with joint pain in shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, or ankles
- Those recovering from muscle strains or sprains from sports, gardening, or daily activities
- Anyone with tendon problems such as tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, or Achilles tendinopathy
- People with ligament injuries needing rehabilitation and strengthening
- Those wanting to prevent re-injury and return safely to activities
What to expect
We'll carry out a thorough assessment of your injury, including how it happened, what movements cause pain, and how it's affecting your daily life. We'll test your strength, range of movement, and function to identify the problem and create your treatment plan.
Your treatment may include:
- Manual therapy: Gentle hands-on techniques to reduce pain and improve movement
- Strengthening exercises: Progressive exercises to rebuild strength and stability
- Flexibility work: Stretches and mobility exercises to restore normal movement
- Functional training: Practicing movements specific to your activities or sport
- Pain management advice: Guidance on managing symptoms during recovery
- Activity modification: Advice on what to do and what to avoid while healing

- Early, appropriate movement to promote healing

- Building resilience to prevent future problems
- Supporting your return to normal activities and hobbies

Frequently asked questions
Should I rest or stay active?
It depends on the injury, but in most cases, appropriate movement is better than complete rest. We'll guide you on what's safe and beneficial for your specific injury.
Do I need a scan or X-ray?
Usually not initially. Most soft tissue injuries can be diagnosed clinically. If we think imaging is needed, we'll discuss this with you and can refer you if appropriate.
How long does recovery take?
This varies depending on the injury. Minor strains may improve in 2-6 weeks, while more significant injuries can take 3-6 months. We'll give you a realistic timeline based on your specific situation.
Can you help with sports injuries?
Yes. We treat sports-related injuries and can help you return safely to your sport with appropriate rehabilitation and injury prevention advice.
