Our Physiotherapists will endeavour to help you understand your problem better using ‘easy to digest’ language and effective strategies of pain relief and rehabilitation programmes.
Physiotherapy takes a ‘whole person’ approach to health and wellbeing, which includes the patient’s general lifestyle.
At the core is the patient’s involvement in their own care, through education, awareness, empowerment and participation in their treatment.
You can benefit from physiotherapy at any time in your life. Physiotherapy helps with back pain or sudden injury, managing long-term medical conditions such as asthma, and in preparing for childbirth or a sporting event.

Specific and tailored treatments
Often patients will need to take an active part in their rehabilitation programmes following advice on work, posture, ergonomics and personal training activities. Specific and tailored treatment programmes can be developed to help you meet your short and long term goals.
What will happen when I see a physiotherapist?
Your first session of physiotherapy will include a detailed assessment. Everything you tell the physiotherapist will be kept completely confidential. They may ask you questions about your:
- current symptoms, including pain
- medical history
- health, fitness levels and lifestyle
They will then assess how your joints are working and how this problem is affecting your life. They will check your posture, watch how you move and check your strength.
They may ask you to remove some clothing so that he can have a look at and feel your joints more easily. It’s a good idea to wear loose fitting, comfortable clothing to your appointment.
At this first appointment you will both discuss achievable goals, treatment and a suitable management program for you.
They will then arrange any follow up appointments, and work closely with any other healthcare professionals who are involved with your treatment.

I’ve been seeing Joe for a while to help manage my tension migraines. He keeps the symptoms under control and has offered practical advice that’s helped reduce how often they occur. Joe's guidance has made me aware of the triggers and how I can make positive changes to my lifestyle to reduce/manage my migraines.Several members of my family have also been successfully treated by Joe for a range of issues, and he’s always our first port of call whenever an injury crops up. His approach is friendly, down‑to‑earth, and genuinely knowledgeable — exactly what you want in an osteopath.If you’re looking for a skilled professional who listens, understands, and delivers real results, Joe is the Osteo to see.

I have been seeing Joe for several months now in regard to my lower back pain. He has been unwavering in his professionalism and enthusiasm, and has been of greater help in these few short months than I had hoped for. Highly recommend:)

Wanted to give a huge shout out to Joe for the amazing job he did relieving my chronic lower back pain. I've had pain for about 6 years now and have tried everything to cure it and nothing worked or gave me relief. Joe was the only person who was able to diagnose the issue I was having and found a way to remedy the pain I was enduring and actually made my quality of life amazing again! I saw him for 2 years and in those two years, I got my life back being able to walk, bend, lift, stand, you name it. He also became a great acquaintance as he has great conversations (especially about fishing) but also listened and talked me through some hard times. He even helped me out with pain during my entire pregnancy as well! I was sad to move from the area and wish I could find another osteopath like Joe who's very knowledgeable in the field but also has great communication skills and FIXES issues rather than putting "band-aids" on. Highly recommend!!

Lovely experience with Abbeyfields ❤️ See Joe for Osteo dealing with tension migraines and he's been great. He explains his reasoning behind what he's doing and adjusts treatment very well depending on how I'm feeling after the appointments. Also very friendly and welcoming which helps you feel comfortable and heard. Highly recommend.

I’ve been seeing Joe the Osteopath for OMT over the past year and a half for chronic low back pain and sciatica. The improvement I’ve experienced has been significant.Joe is knowledgeable, thorough, and truly takes the time to listen. The treatments have helped reduce my pain, improve mobility, and overall quality of life.If you’re looking for a place and person who genuinely cares and provides effective hands-on treatment (and loves fishing) I highly recommend Abbeyfields Clinic and Joe the Osteopath

Excellent service, friendly and helpful staff! Joe Rudland in osteo has been treating me for upper and lower back pain, and I am very pleased with the progress I've made. The treatments have allowed me to be more active in running, cycling, and playing with my children.

Cannot recommend Elly (osteopath) enough. We often joke it will be a painful visit but honestly, I have been in crisis and left after treatment in a much better place. Cannot recommend enough, thank you !

I underwent a course of shockwave therapy, with James, for Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome, in my left hip area. The treatment has relieved most of the pain that was affecting the knee, hip and groin areas. I would highly recommend this treatment for those with a similar problem.
