Rodger Duckworth Physiotherapy Practice

Not just your average physio!

http://rdphysio.com Rodger Duckworth Physio at The Grange - A team of physiotherapists with decades of experience and a mind body approach to help you achieve deep lasting healing for people at the edge of hope and despair. Established in 1995 by Rodger Duckworth who noticed a lack skilled manual therapists practicing in the area and was disillusioned with what he saw as declining standards of care throughout his experience in NHS and private practice. The practice now consists of a team of Chartered Physiotherapists, all of whom have a common belief in a “hands-on” / manual treatment approach. We are known as specialists in spinal and knee problems although each individual physiotherapist has their own particular areas of specialism which means we can offer specialist attention to suit your needs.

When it comes to our health, as it is with life, EVERYTHING is connected.

For too long, many experts would say ‘no brain, no pain’ - to which I like to respond, ‘no heart, no brain because - de@d!’ We need to move away from the cartesian split. Here’s why…

Do you dissociate?

Dissociation is when we lose connection with our physical self and from a somatic point of view when we lose contact with the felt sense of what is going on inside our bodies. Remarkably, we all disassociate every day as a coping mechanism. In those moments when we think, sorry, what did you just say?

So what does dissociation say about how we deal with Trauma?

If you don’t feel safe, healing will be difficult. But feeling safe is not something that you do, and it’s not something that you think - it is a felt experience. Here’s what I mean…

Being told you might need a scan or surgery can feel overwhelming. Understandably, people want certainty – a clear answer about what’s causing their pain and how to fix it. But when it comes to back pain, shoulder pain, and many chronic pain conditions, the reality is more complex.

Patients often assume that MRI or ultrasound results are the most reliable indicator of what’s happening in their body. But research shows something surprising:

👉 Over 50% of people with no back pain at all have disc bulges in their lower spine.
👉 Over 60% of pain-free adults have torn or fully ruptured shoulder tendons, while still functioning normally.

This begs the question, ‘do you really need surgery?’ and if not, what’s the alternative?

Pain is sh*t, messy and far more complex than conventional thinking would have you believe. There is a growing trend to proclaim that reprocessing your nervous system is the answer. If only it were that simple…

"I have received craniosacral therapy for years, so I was keen to find a practitioner who truly understands the interconnection between mind and body rather than offering standard physiotherapy alone.

Rodger’s empathy and his own experience as a patient himself make the sessions feel like a partnership rather than a one-way treatment.

I would highly recommend him, especially if you have been struggling with long-term physical problems – sometimes the cause isn’t purely structural but something deeper within."

Every individual is different, and more often than not, that applies to the root cause of your injury or complex illness. That’s why at RD Physiotherapy, we take the time to understand your needs, your history and your circumstances to best facilitate your complex health, and healing.

I was recently asked a brilliant question in response to a video I released on YouTube about MCAS. The question highlighted the struggles of gaining a diagnosis when a series of complex comorbidities were apparent - the presence of additional distinct diseases or conditions. Very often, the question that should be asked when such comorbidities exist; are you seriously unlucky? Or, is there an underlying issue that links everything together?

Many people assume that trauma must involve a single dramatic or catastrophic event — something large, obvious, or life-threatening. Sometimes trauma does look like that. But often, trauma is quieter, cumulative, and woven into everyday life.

Can the effects of trauma cross generations? The science suggests, yes.

Transgenerational trauma (also known as intergenerational trauma) refers to emotional and physiological patterns of distress that are passed down through families and across generations. It is not simply a story we inherit; it is something that can live in the nervous system, shaping how we respond to stress, safety, relationships, and the world around us.

The effects of transgenerational trauma can be felt within the body, in the form of chronic illness. Your health is complex, and so might be the reasons behind your condition.

I’m sorry, I was wrong. Recently I made a blanket statement saying that catharsis doesn’t work. On reflection, catharsis deserves a more nuanced appreciation - here’s why…

- healing requires trust, perseverance and belief in ‘the process’ - there is no ‘magic pill’, and often, even the traditional pills can prove ineffective in the long run.
