Listening to clients and understanding their needs/goals is the mantra at Stocker's Physiotherapy.

So much of defeating longstanding issues like plantar fasciitis, Achilles pain, back problems and shoulder pain depend on more than what happens in the treatment room or the gym.

Understanding the complexities of pain, load and strength are just some of the factors needing addressing. What happens at home and at work and in daily life are hugely important.

If you’re struggling with something that’s annoying or really influencing your life - give us a call. A discussion before booking is always welcome.

Theres always something positive that can be done.

As the seasons shift and we move into Autumn, many of us notice changes in our bodies too. Cooler weather, busier schedules, and a return to sports or fitness routines after summer can all contribute to aches, stiffness, or even injuries.
That’s where physiotherapy can make a real difference.
At The Southdown Clinic, Russell Stocker, Chartered Physiotherapist, helps people restore mobility, reduce pain, and prevent injuries from recurring. Whether it’s managing long-term back or joint pain, recovering from injury, or simply keeping your body moving at its best, physiotherapy offers tailored strategies to support your health and performance.
A seasonal check-in with a physiotherapist isn’t just about fixing problems — it’s also about optimising strength, posture, and resilience so you can feel your best through the months ahead.
If you’re noticing those little ni**les, or just want to stay ahead of the seasonal challenges, now is the perfect time to book a session, evening appointments available. Contact Russell on 07977 574585 or email russell@stockersphysiotherapy.co.uk
