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.

Brad gave me physio after I damaged my ankle ligaments playing rugby. Excellent in helping relieve the swelling initially then worked with me to help with recovery . Brad helped with taping up once I got back playing as well and my return was very swift

Brad has been working on my back and shoulders mostly over the last year and has given me exercises to do in my own time to strengthen and stretch the effected areas. I have recently had knee surgery so will be looking to him for some more physio work to help me achieve my goals in recovery! Brad offers a Fabulous service, good knowledge and a friendly face! Big thumbs up!!!

I really look forward to my adjustments with Jamie. I always walk out feeling looser and grounded. I’m quite inquisitive and he answers my questions fully and has a great sense of humour. I’m so grateful he’s helped me feel like me again. I highly recommend going to see him!! 🙏🏻

My experience with Skelian has been overwhelming positive. I have had lower back pain on and off for a good few years but Jamie has been able to assist with making things more comfortable for me since beginning treatment. I can’t thank Jamie enough for giving me the ability to train again without fear of enduring discomfort afterwards. Simply amazing service!!

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.
