Jamie has been amazing. I was in such constant pain and couldn't do my regular exercise. Each appointment has brought marked improvement - and the emphasis is on fewer treatments not dependency. Highly recommend!

I have just had a 2 stage shoulder revision operation carried out on 5th February & as my arm has been in a sling since April last year my elbow has got very stiff so after seeing my consultant the other week & the physio at the hospital I decided to come to get extra help in between physio appointments. I have seen Will twice now & I can already feel an improvement with the movement & pain, he takes time to listen to any concerns you have & puts you at ease by explaining everything he is going to do. All the receptionists are very nice & always very cheerful even if they are having a bad day. I recommend this is the clinic to choose if you want excellent treatment at a reasonable price with free car parking on site & I have been to a few other clinics in the past but not a welcoming as this one.

After suffering from recent back pain, I have had several massages from Dani. These have helped hugely to relieve the pain and loosen up the muscles to move freely again. Dani takes time to understand the problem history and really put you at ease. As someone who has had back pain on and off over the years and had countless massages treatments, I can confidently say that Dani is very skilled at what she does and has a natural gift for massage.

Really great first ever experience for me at a Chiropractor. Amanda on reception was brilliant with me, whilst waiting for my appointment she chatted and calmly eased my nerves as a first timer. Likewise for Jamie, he made things so easy, explained everything clearly and really made sure I understood the whole process. Genuinely impressed on how they handled the whole process, definitely recommend!

Both me and my husband have received fantastic chiropractic care from Victoria and she is now our 'go-to' chiropractor. Recently, I hobbled in with painful lower back sprain and sciatica, which Victoria fixed in just two sessions. Her attention to detail and care is brilliant, and she has a lovely manner which puts you at ease. I've had chiropractic care before but was really impressed by the service here. Highly recommend Victoria and the team at Skellian.

I went to see Jamie with neck problems which were causing dizziness. After just 3 visits I am feeling much better, my neck feels much more relaxed. Not only has my neck improved but Jamie also found that some of the dizziness may be coming from an ear problem. At the last visit he carried out some manipulation and last night I only had a very short episode of dizziness as I turned over in bed. It is very reassuring to know that I can see Jamie when needed and I will get relief.

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.

Sports Injury Clinic Cheltenham

Sports Injury and exercise rehabilitation in Cheltenham 

If you are recovering from an injury, whether it is sports related or not. Rehabilitation or corrective exercises are an essential part in resolving the problem, managing the problem and preventing the issues from returning.

Most issues we see in the clinic are either from an exercise related accident causing a new injury or long standing problems (chronic), which has been bothering the patient for a while and is not resolving by itself.

Injury rehabilitation comes in all sorts of varieties. From improving balance to the recovery of a broken bone in the body, or following a surgery. 

The main aim of the rehabilitation exercises is to improve how your body functions. This is achieved by working on the weaker and stiffer (in some cases too mobile) problem areas that need attention.

Issues that rehabilitation exercise can help with.

  • Running/sporting injuries
  • Poor posture
  • Back pain
  • Neck pain
  • Shoulder pain
  • Elbow pain
  • Wrist/Hand pain
  • Pelvic pain
  • Hip pain
  • Knee pain
  • Ankle pain
  • Foot pain
  • Plantar Fasciitis
  • Repetitive strain injuries
  • Poor balance
  • Poor co-ordination
  • Managing hypermobility

How does rehabilitation exercises work?

The aim of exercise rehabilitation is to improve how your body physically functions. For example, if you are stiff and not very mobile, then we need to get you a bit more flexible and mobile. If you are weak in a certain area and other areas are overworking causing muscle tightness, then we need to balance you out, by improving the strength of the weaker muscles and possibly retraining how you move.

In some cases, you might be recovering from a traumatic injury, like an accident playing football where you sprain your ankle. The exercises prescribed to you by the practitioner will help with the recovery but also with any long-term issue you may encounter having sustained the injury in the first place.

Once the problem area(s) have been identified you will be given a program to follow by your practitioner.
