I am very happy you’ve found the first TOP physiotherapy blog, written by me - Tommy (Senior Physiotherapist and TOP Physiotherapy Director). This blog page is all about giving you the hints and tips to help you self-manage those aches and pains. Before we dive into the nitty gritty of your aches and pains I thought it might be nice for you to understand more about TOP physiotherapy. Therefore, this first blog is all about who TOP physiotherapy is, what we do and why we do it.
Hopefully after reading this blog it will give you the reassurance that you are coming to the right place...Enjoy!
Who we are?
TOP physiotherapy was set up with the ambition of providing expert physiotherapy for the people in and around Olney - Buckinghamshire. TOP Physiotherapy is currently a sole clinician clinic, so anybody who comes into contact with the clinic will be treated by me! I pride myself on being an expert within my field, but accompany this with a personable, friendly nature. During the first part of my career I gained valuable experience within a variety of public and private settings and now I have decided to go it alone and I am loving every minute! The experience I have gained, coupled with my 4 year post-graduate masters qualification in advanced musculoskeletal medicine stand me in good stead to be able to treat any injury you are currently experiencing.
What we do?
At TOP Physiotherapy - Olney, we try to take you on a journey; out of pain and towards health and happiness, so you can reach ‘the top of your potential’. We have specialist hands-on techniques which can immediately relieve you of your pain. Whether you have had your issue for decades or minutes, we can help. However, we try to go a step further. We will continue to work alongside you once the pain has settled and design a personalised treatment plan. This will not be just 100’s of boring exercises that you don’t enjoy and can’t fit into your hectic lifestyle. These plans are built around you, so whether you are into CrossFit or gardening, we have the experience and knowledge to design a program which is achievable and works! We will take measurements of certain muscle strengths and lengths, set you weekly lifestyle goals and then reassess those initial measurements so you can see your efforts are worthwhile.
Everyone's lifestyle goes through peaks and troughs and it's our job to motivate you out of those troughs and keep driving you forward during the peaks! That is what we do best!
We offer a range of services at TOP physiotherapy alongside our physiotherapy services these include Dry Needling (Acupuncture), Sports Massage, Home Visits and Virtual appointments. If you don’t know which service is right for you, don’t be shy, give us a call and we can talk through your issues and point you in the right direction.
Why we do it?
It might sound cliché but we love what we do! The majority of that enjoyment comes from meeting someone when they are going through a tough patch (which might be a tough day or tough year) and going with them on a journey and seeing the happy, energetic and healthy person on the other side. We don’t claim to be able to do this for everyone, but if you have the right attitude, we would love to take you on that journey. That is why we love to do what we do!
On a more practical note, I have a wealth of experience working within the NHS and understand the current public health situation. Physiotherapy waiting times have never been longer and when you are in pain, any waiting time feels like an age. In some areas it's not unfamiliar to have to wait 9 months+ to see a physio. Please don’t wait! Your body can learn the habit of being in pain. So if you leave your body to ‘cope’ with the pain for too long and you bury your head in the sand about it, it is much more difficult to resolve. Put it this way - the most accurate predictor of how long issues take to resolve is how long the issue has been there for...don’t make the mistake many people make and wait, get it sorted today!
I am sure you don’t want to hear me rabbit on for too long about the company, but I hope this blog has given you some insight into where TOP physiotherapy comes from. I hope it gives you the confidence to get in touch with us if you have any issues, we would love to talk.
Keep your eyes peeled for the next blog, which is for all those currently working from home. You don’t want to miss it if you spend most of your working day sitting behind a desk in a makeshift office space or cramped up on an uncomfortable dining room chair staring at your laptop. If that sounds familiar watch this space for our next blog post!
