Fantastic treatment, can't recommend them enough. Tom helped with my various aches and joint pain from running and also gave me so much advice for my upcoming half marathon. The staff are all very friendly and helpful and very accommodating- helping to sort last minute appointments and change/alter when needed. I have seen a few different chiropractors at the clinic and they have all been very knowledgeable and explained everything so clearly. Tom particularly has been great and got me back out running pain-free.

I had one appointment with Jamie after suffering tremendous pain and he totally relieved the pain, allowing me to carry on with my life as normally as possible with my ongoing back weakness. I would highly recommend him to anyone and would totally trust him to help me again in the future.

Tom has been great right from the start. From listening to me and everything I had to tell him in our first meeting. Taking me and my previous (less good) experience with chiropractors into account and seriously considering why I was there. He helped me, that first time and has done for the number of sessions I've had since. He answers all my nerdy, analytical questions and adapts to me as I need him to. He's also not a snake oil salesman, talking himself out of the possibility of a job within the first month if I found I no longer needed him. None of this "oh, look, another problem I'll need to see you for" malarkey. Tom has been honest and so helpful every time. The reception staff at Skelian are lovely, the atmosphere is nice, and whilst not cheap I have never felt swindled. Only understood, because back pain is a universal suffering we can all sympathise with. Couldn't recommend them and Tom more. And I'll soon be in maintenance, somewhere I never thought I'd get to when all this started in February.

Treatment here took all of my back pain in some appointments. Tom was excellent professional and now I feel safe that whenever I have the same problem I have someone to rely on .

I have been seeing Jamie for the last couple of months, and absolutely can’t recommend him enough. I love his holistic approach and looking at the bigger picture to try and piece together the reasons why my neck and hips are so painful. I always feel anxious when having to go to someone different when it comes to my health, but Jamie is so kind, friendly and understanding of people and how they are feeling. We have had some great results so far with my treatment and feel we are making some headway with all my aches and pains. If you are feeling nervous and not sure what to expect, Jamie is the guy for you.

I recently had a sports massage with Brad, due to extended periods of computer use, I suffer with neck and shoulder tension. Brad was able to work out all the knots in my back and shoulders. I have definitively felt the benefits ever since.

Diagnostic Ultrasound

Ultrasound imaging (the same as used in pregnancy scans), is a great way to assess the condition of muscles, tendons and joints. 

Diagnostic Ultrasound in Cheltenham

Ultrasound imaging (the same as used in pregnancy scans), is a brilliant way to assess the condition of muscles, tendons and joints. The advantage of ultrasound is that it is very safe (no radiation) quick and accurate at diagnosing many injuries. Patients will be able to see their injuries in real time during the assessments.

Please note that we only use diagnostic ultrasound for musculoskeletal injuries. We do not assess hernias or lumps and bumps. Due to the depth of the spine ultrasound is not used to look at spinal injuries.

Areas of the body ultrasound is useful for diagnosing:

  • Shoulder Injuries
  • Elbow Injuries
  • Wrist & Hand Pain
  • Hip Problems
  • Knee Pain
  • Ankle & Foot Injuries
  • Ligament Tears
  • Tendonitis or Inflammation of a Tendon
  • Muscle Tears

What we offer

At Skelian we offer private ultrasound scans to assess our patients for injury. This is a fantastic service if you are looking for a fast and accurate diagnosis for what could be causing your joint pain. Our scans are performed by an experienced specialist physiotherapist Jonathan Wride.

During the ultrasound scan, you will also experience some form of physical exam to add to your findings from the scan to help make sure your diagnosis is as accurate as possible

What to expect

You will be greeted by our specialist physio in the waiting area and will be welcomed into the treatment room. From there Jonathan our specialist physio will ask you some questions about your health and your condition. After speaking to you about your problem he will then perform a focused physical exam , followed by the diagnostic ultrasound scan. 

During the scan Jonathan will be able to point out to you where the problem is, so you can see the issue in real time as you are being scanned.

  • Explanation of your diagnosis/condition
