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.

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.

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.
