Fractures are commonly known as broken bones. In medicine, any broken bone, regardless of size, is known as a fracture. If you have had a recent trauma, sudden increased pain, swelling and possibly bruising, we may recommend an x-ray to rule out a fracture. Often fractures are immobilised, either in a plaster cast or sling, to allow the bone time to heal. In some cases, if the fracture is not aligned, surgery may be required.
Physiotherapy is often recommended after removal of a cast or sling, to regain normal movement, strength, and function. We use our knowledge of the healing process to prescribe specific exercises at the appropriate timescale. We can help speed up recovery after surgery, guided by your surgeon’s advice.
Saw Katie recently after experiencing ankle pain and was impressed. She’s very professional and thorough, and is clearly an expert.

Katie is brilliant. I went to her with aches and pains in my hip after a car accident. I felt completely at ease and supported by her, and trusted her professional opinion. Definitely recommend.

Great massage. Katie really listened to my needs and focused on the specific areas that I needed.
Really helpful for advice for exercises and further treatments. Will definitely be booking again.
