Pain can feel alarming, but it doesn’t automatically mean something is injured. Modern pain science shows that discomfort is often influenced by factors such as stress, movement patterns and increased sensitivity in the nervous system, not just structural changes in the body.

Physiotherapy helps you understand what’s really going on and gives you a clear plan to move with confidence again.

Research from NICE shows that guided movement and exercise therapy lead to faster, stronger recoveries from most musculoskeletal injuries.

New research and clinical reports from the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy and the British Journal of Sports Medicine
show that complete rest can actually delay tendon recovery.

Tendons recover best through progressive loading, a gradual, structured exercise approach that rebuilds strength, restores function, and prevents recurrence.

Our physiotherapists use proven, evidence-based tendon rehabilitation plans designed to help you move with confidence again.

National reports from NICE and the Cochrane Review confirm that exercise therapy is the most effective non-surgical treatment for knee osteoarthritis.

Arthritis doesn’t have to mean giving up activity. Controlled, guided movement strengthens muscles, improves balance, and reduces pain more effectively than rest or medication.

At Neil Minter & Associates, we build tailored exercise programmes around your comfort level and goals, helping you stay strong and mobile for the long term.

Shockwave therapy is an effective, non-invasive way to relieve long-term tendon pain and support faster healing, helping you move comfortably again.

It’s particularly effective for chronic tendon and soft tissue injuries that haven’t improved with traditional physiotherapy methods including:

✅ Plantar fasciitis
✅ Achilles tendinopathy
✅ Tennis & golfer’s elbow
✅ Rotator cuff injuries
✅ Patellar tendinopathy

At Neil Minter & Associates, our physiotherapists are fully trained in the safe and effective use of shockwave therapy, combining each session with a tailored rehabilitation plan for long-term results.

Back pain is one of the most common conditions we treat, and according to recent reports from NICE, movement is medicine.

The evidence shows that bed rest and painkillers alone are not effective. Instead, gentle activity and structured exercise, supported by physiotherapy, lead to faster recovery and longer-lasting results.

Our physiotherapists provide personalised, evidence-based plans focused on movement, reassurance, and function, helping you return to work, sport, and everyday life confidently.
