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.

Excellent treatment with Aaron, very thorough, and very informative regarding what the various movements and treatment were for, and considerate throughout, highly recommended.

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.

Injury Rehabilitation

At Skelian, all of our practitioners from our Chiropractors, Sports Therapists to our Specialist Physiotherapist are trained in rehabilitation.

About Rehabilitation

Rehabilitation is all about strengthening the core muscles, improving balance and mobility, and reducing the likelihood of recurrent symptoms. 

Conditions we treat 

  • Postural issues
  • Sports injury
  • Recovery from traumatic injury
  • Repetitive strain injury
  • Sciatica
  • Muscle spasm and cramp
  • Shoulder pain 
  • Elbow pain

What we offer

At Skelian, all of our practitioners from our Chiropractors, Sports Therapists to our Specialist Physiotherapist are trained in rehabilitation. Many of us have personal experience with rehab for sports injuries. 

All our bodies are different, and we all have different problems, different weaknesses, and different lifestyles. As a result, rehabilitation needs to be tailored to each individual, and our practitioners are very good at this.

Some patients will receive a set of simple exercises to do at home, whereas others will need more careful supervision. For example in recovering from a disc injury. Usually, a progression through different exercises and techniques is required over a period of weeks, or sometimes months. Unlike stretching exercises, where you often feel the benefit immediately, strengthening takes longer to achieve results. However, it is worth it, because there is strong evidence that rehabilitation is an effective tool in managing chronic back pain and preventing relapses.

What to expect

Your practitioner will carry out a thorough assessment of your injury or problem and following treatment, may prescribe a set of exercises to strengthen key muscles in order to aid the recovery of your injury. Our practitioners use a holistic approach. They will also ask you questions about your nutrition, lifestyle and work demands to create a rehabilitation programme that is best suited to your needs. Some injuries need careful supervision from the practitioner and in other cases, patients are able to perform their rehab exercises at home and report progress back to their practitioner. Our practitioners are all on hand to answer any queries you may have throughout your programme and adapt it if required.

  • One-to-one tailored rehabilitation
  • Strengthening and mobility exercises
  • Regular contact with practitioner to track progress
