Thank you Lesley for this message just now and well done Richard! "I just wanted to pass on my thanks to Richard for tonight’s Video Link Swiss Ball class. I learned so much and it has increased my confidence. I loved all the teaching points. I was so scared to try any kind of hinge movement when I started these classes in March. Lesley"

Here is the Q & A on "Assisting Lower Back/Sciatic Pain in the Workplace" - please watch/share/ask questions galore! Apologies that there is some sound "feedback" with the short Platinum on the Ball Videos as both recording devices were on when they were playing (you can still watch/hear them easily and of course the videos on the app itself do not have the same issue).

Well done Michael/Meg - at Platinum we look at the "big picture" so please share/tag this with your friends worldwide. "Hi Michael - I spoke to the doctor today and she has diagnosed osteopenia. She is sending me for a DEXA scan and blood tests, and also prescribed calcium & vitamin D supplements. She was also very supportive that I’ve taken advice from a physiotherapist and that I’m following your exercise plan. I really cannot thank you enough for being so thorough and suggesting that I had my foot x-rayed, otherwise (the doctor said), its highly likely to have developed into osteoporosis. So hopefully now - with the right treatment & exercise it won’t get any worse. You are one of a kind Michael & also a bit of a hero in our family! Forever in your debt. Regards, Meg

Pain often does not mean rest

In fact, avoiding movement can delay recovery!

At Platinum Physiotherapy, we offer face-to-face and online consultations to assess your condition or injury, guide effective rehab, and help you regain function and freedom.

Our approach is based on being proactive and not reactive, progressive movement and guided accelerated rehabilitation to improve strength, stability, and confidence, reducing the risk of recurrence and supporting long-term planning via our small group classes.

We have availability in the coming weeks to help you get started on your journey to recovery.
