If your hip pain’s been hanging around, it’s probably more than just stiffness.

It could be from the joint itself, your lower back, or muscle imbalances that need sorting. At JP Physio, we’ll assess what’s really going on and build a plan to get you moving well again.

Don’t wait until it’s stopping you from walking or sleeping, let’s sort it now.

There’s a common myth that sports massage has to be painful to be effective—but that’s not true. While some deep tissue techniques can feel intense, a good sports massage should never leave you feeling worse than when you came in.

Other myths we hear all the time:

❌ It’s only for professional athletes (not true—anyone who’s active can benefit!)

❌ It only helps with injuries (nope—prevention and recovery are just as important!)

❌ One session will fix everything (regular treatment gives the best results)

We tailor every massage to suit your needs—whether you want deep tissue work or something lighter to ease tension.

Back pain, neck tension, and desk headaches? They’re more common than you think, but they don’t have to be your norm.

Poor posture and lack of movement can cause discomfort that builds over time. The good news? Small changes make a big difference.

At JP Physio, we help office workers feel better with practical advice, mobility tips, and hands-on treatment. Don’t let desk life become painful, book in and let’s fix it.

Stretching after a run is great, but sometimes it just is not enough.

Muscle knots, tension and tight areas can build up over time, and stretching alone might not release them fully. Sports massage helps improve circulation, reduce waste build up and keep your muscles working properly.

If you are stretching but still feeling stiff, let’s get those muscles sorted.

A tough game pushes your body to the limit—now it’s time to help it recover properly. Whether you've been sprinting up and down the pitch, taking hits in a tackle, or pushing through extra time, your muscles, joints, and nervous system need the right post-match care to keep you in top condition.

Cooling down with light movement and stretching helps prevent stiffness, while rehydrating and refuelling your body with the right nutrients supports muscle repair. Compression, ice baths, or sports massage can also help reduce soreness and speed up recovery. If you're carrying any knocks or niggles, addressing them early can stop them from becoming long-term issues.

JP Physio works with footballers, rugby players, netballers, hockey and lacrosse athletes to keep them in peak condition. Whether you need help recovering from a game, managing an injury, or preparing for your next match, we’ve got you covered.

Lifting heavy? Don't skip mobility!

If your joints feel stiff, your range of motion is limited, or certain lifts cause discomfort, mobility could be the missing piece. Poor flexibility and restricted movement can force your body to compensate in ways that lead to strain, imbalances, and injuries over time.

Mobility work helps you move through full ranges safely, improving performance and reducing stress on your joints. If squats feel restricted, deadlifts pull at your lower back, or overhead presses feel uncomfortable, it’s worth addressing how your body moves—not just how much weight you’re lifting.

At JP Physio, we work with lifters and athletes to assess movement patterns, improve flexibility, and keep the body functioning at its best. Whether you’re aiming for personal bests or just want to lift without pain, we’re here to help.

Football demands speed, agility, and endurance—but it also comes with a high risk of injury. Whether it’s ankle sprains, hamstring pulls, or ACL tears, players at all levels need to stay on top of their recovery to keep playing at their best.

Physiotherapy isn’t just about fixing injuries after they happen—it’s about preventing them in the first place. A football-focused physio plan can improve flexibility, strengthen weak areas, and keep your joints moving smoothly so you can perform at your best.

JP Physio in Durham supports footballers with rehab, injury prevention, and performance-focused physiotherapy. If you want to keep playing pain-free and stay match-fit, we’re here to help.

Taking painkillers might take the edge off, but they won’t fix the root of the problem.

If you’re relying on them just to get through the day, chances are there’s something deeper going on. And the longer it’s left, the harder it can be to get back on track.

At JP Physio, we look at what’s causing your pain, not just how to mask it. With the right rehab plan, you can move better, feel stronger and stop needing tablets just to feel “normal” again.

Let’s deal with the problem properly, not just patch it up.
