‘Hands on’ treatment and exercise therapy gets best results!
New randomised and controlled trial published in Manual Therapy in August 2016 looked at manual therapy in joint and nerve structures combined with exercises in the treatment of recurrent ankle sprains. The group that hand ‘hands on’ therapy and exercise had significantly better outcomes than those who just did the exercise.
Unfortunately my colleagues in the NHS are not encouraged to be ‘hands on’ any longer and just to become exercise coaches.

AFC WIMBLEDON PROMOTED TO LEAGUE 1
1 year old!!
I’m not sure where the time has gone but we have been here just over a year now!
And what a year it has been! We have taken over the clinic, seen a complete overhaul of the premises, added new equipment, new patient management software, credit and debit card facilities and lots and lots of new faces that have never stepped inside the clinic before. I am delighted with the first year and forward to adding some new faces over the coming year.
