Symptoms can include nausea, vomiting, headaches, sweating, tinnitus in addition to feeling like they’re spinning, tilting, swaying etc. When vertigo doesn’t respond to the Epley manoeuvre, or similar, looking at a clients history is a good place to start. Any history or tightness / discomfort at the…

A client presented after having bilateral shoulder operations over a decade ago. The NHS assigned a physio post operatively, but restricted range of motion, and pain on certain movements has persisted ever since. It’s disappointing when surgery doesn’t deliver the kind of results you’d hoped for. For the last few months we’ve (its very much…

A client presented in clinic with chronic bilateral neck and shoulder pain. They had occasional headaches, and minor continence issues since the birth of their last child.

VERTIGO – a truly horrible and disabling condition. Symptoms can include nausea, vomiting 🤮, headaches, sweating, tinnitus in addition to feeling like they’re spinning, tilting, swaying etc. In many case, where inner ear and brain issues have been ruled out, this is eminently treatable.

A client came to see me a few weeks back. They’d been having intense jaw pain ever since having their gall bladder removed 2 years ago. They ‘knew’ it had been ‘caused’ by the surgery, but nobody was listening. 😞 The original consultant had signed them off. They’d been referred to the pain clinic, their…

Obviously gutted they’d had an issue which needed treatment, but overjoyed they were seeing me less than a week after it had occurred. An evening netball game involved a…
