What Is Physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy is a healthcare profession focused on restoring movement, reducing pain, and improving overall physical function. Using evidence‑based techniques, physiotherapists assess, diagnose, and treat a wide range of injuries and conditions affecting muscles, joints, nerves, and movement patterns.

Physiotherapy aims to help people of all ages move better, feel better, and live more active, pain‑free lives.

What techniques do physios use?

Physiotherapists use a range of evidence‑based treatments, including:
• Manual therapy and joint mobilisation
• Soft‑tissue techniques
• Exercise therapy and rehabilitation programs
• Posture and movement retraining
• Dry needling
• Electrotherapy and ultrasound
• Ergonomic and lifestyle advice
• Education for long‑term recovery

No matter how physical or how sedentary our jobs or pastimes are, we are all prone to succumbing to habitual postures that can sometimes lead to muscle and joint pain and have a detrimental knock-on effect throughout the body.

Victoria is a magician! I’ll visit for one problem and she’ll cure 5 others along the way.

I originally visited Harper Road around 6 months ago for problems with my knee from running/ hiking, but have since received treatment across my whole body to balance out my mechanics holistically.

I would strongly recommend Victoria to anyone with persistent injuries/ aches/ pains.

Lorna is totally incredible, highly recommended. I've had real challenges with my neck, shoulders, and upper back over recent years - and visiting Lorna has always helped.

She is calm and clear, always explaining as much as she can about what she's doing and why, and gives you practical and achievable advice for staying healthy and strong.

It always feels a bit like magic! - do give her a visit.

I have lupus, sjogrens and fibromyalgia. Osteopathy helps me to manage my symptoms and maintain an active lifestyle. Lorna is an amazing osteopath! She understands my conditions, has taken time to get to know me and gain my confidence. She works with me to find gentle treatment techniques which suit my needs, and I know that I can trust her to support my wellness.

I have had an absolutely wonderful time with Harper Road Osteopaths so far. Victoria has been an amazing support in understanding my ME/Long Covid. Not only is the treatment exactly what my body has been in need of, but Victoria has provided extensive information and a space for me to learn about ways of managing my condition. Thank you so much.

The team here is amazing at the Perrin technique and also so kind, caring and lovely. The therapy rooms are really relaxing. I usually go to Victoria but have also gone to Madiha and Caroline and all of them are great. They're really invested in helping you get better and it shows in the treatment and quality of care. Highly recommend!

I had my first appointment with Lorna last week and I’m so grateful I found her! She was amazing and made me feel really at ease. She took the time to really listen and assess the issues I am having. She sent me an email after the session with stretches I should do before our next appointment to help me further with the pain and I can’t wait for our next session. Thanks so much Lorna!!

I have seen Lorna for a few years now. It started during the pandemic years when I was under her treatment due to pain symptoms associated with working from home conditions. For the past few year or so, I have experienced physical discomforts that very likely stem from being a new parent who enjoys carrying his child frequently and for extended periods. This pain has occurred in my back, neck, shoulders, hips and legs. Lorna's ongoing treatment has been super welcoming in both pain relief and restoring my mobility. I really enjoy the techniques that she uses, as well as the lovely conversations during each visit.

Similarly for Madiha, who I have also had the pleasure of receiving treatment from during Lorna's leave. Both are exceptional osteopaths with a fantastic personality and attitude. As someone said below, which is worth repeating, it makes each visit an enjoyable experience.

I always look forward to my visits with Caroline, not only is she kind and a good listener but she consistently manages to find the root of my back aches and pains. When she has worked her magic, I leave feeling supple and perhaps a little taller.

I've been seeing Caroline for Perrin technique treatment since August 2022 after developing long covid. She's been amazing, understanding, and very accommodating. I could not have gotten back to my normal self without her help. Thank you, Caroline! 🙂

Testimonials

"Victoria is excellent in pregnancy osteopathy. On top of Pelvic Girdle Pain (PGP) I have a slipped disc. I did have an incident when due to body changes the nerve in spine got pinched, and I barely could walk. She made my spine 'unstuck' in 30 min, and I no longer needed extra support to walk. I have seen to see her since - and she keeps the slipped disc and PGP in check, and helps to maintain a comfortable pregnancy. Thank you!"
