Sometimes, even the best rehab exercises can’t fully activate weak or injured muscles. That’s where electrotherapy steps in.

It uses gentle electrical pulses to:
* Stimulate hard-to-engage muscles
* Improve strength and coordination
* Reduce pain and inflammation
* Speed up recovery

Combined with targeted physiotherapy, it helps you regain movement, prevent compensation injuries, and get back to your active life faster.

Feeling stuck in your recovery? Book a session at GB Sports Physio and see how electrotherapy can boost your rehab.

Is your shoulder always aching, weak, or cracking when you move? 🤔

Most people think it’s just posture or overuse, but often the real problem is weak control and poor load management.

Stretching and pushing through pain won’t help, your shoulder needs targeted strengthening. 💪

Slow isometrics, controlled eccentrics, and rotational exercises can make all the difference. Your shoulder isn’t weak; it just needs the right guidance to heal.

Stiff, achy shoulders during menopause?

Hormonal changes can make joints and tissues less flexible, increasing the risk of frozen shoulder.

Gentle exercises like pendulum swings, wall climbs, and shoulder blade squeezes can help maintain mobility and ease discomfort.

At GB Sports Physio, Glauber also uses laser therapy to reduce pain, restore movement, and support recovery.

Take care of your shoulders and move comfortably again!

Some injuries and inflammations don’t show up on traditional imaging methods, such as X-rays or MRIs.

That doesn’t mean they’re not real, or that they won’t affect your movement and recovery.

💡 Thermography detects subtle changes in skin temperature caused by inflammation or tissue stress, helping us:

✔️Identify hidden injuries
✔️Pinpoint areas that need treatment
✔️Monitor progress for faster, safer recovery

With this technology, your physiotherapy becomes precise, proactive, and personalised, so we can treat the root cause, not just the symptoms.

Don’t let hidden pain slow you down. Book a thermography assessment at GB Sports Physio today.

Often, by the time pain appears, tissue damage or inflammation has already started.

That’s where thermography comes in.
Using advanced thermal imaging, we can:

✔️Detect hotspots of inflammation

✔️Monitor recovery and prevent recurring problems

By spotting issues early, physiotherapy treatments can be targeted before pain slows you down, helping you stay active and healthy.

Don’t wait for pain to catch up. Book a thermography assessment at GB Sports Physio and take the first step toward smarter, proactive care.

Not all shockwave therapies are the same, and choosing the right one depends on your injury:

🔹 Radial Shockwave Therapy
* Best for superficial injuries like tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, or tennis elbow
* Uses wider, shallower waves to treat tissue just below the skin
* Excellent for breaking up scar tissue and calcifications

🔹 Focal Shockwave Therapy
* Penetrates deeper into the tissue for stubborn, chronic conditions
* Targets deeper muscles, tendons, and joints
* Ideal for injuries that don’t respond to radial therapy or need precise treatment

💡 Both therapies stimulate natural healing, improve blood flow, and reduce pain, but the type depends on your condition.

Unsure which is right for you? Book a consultation at GB Sports Physio and let our experts guide you to the most effective treatment.

When tissue doesn’t heal properly, your body lays down scar tissue or even small calcium deposits.

👉 These block normal movement, reduce blood flow, and keep pain coming back, months or even years later.

That’s why rest, stretching, or painkillers often don’t solve the problem. The root cause is deeper.

⚡ Radial Shockwave Therapy works by:

• Breaking down scar tissue and calcifications
• Stimulating new blood vessel growth
• Restarting your body’s natural healing process

The result? Pain relief that lasts, and tissue that finally heals the way it should.

If old injuries keep coming back to haunt you, it may not be “just age.”

Book a consultation at GB Sports Physio and see if radial shockwave therapy can help.
