Fantastic treatment, can't recommend them enough. Tom helped with my various aches and joint pain from running and also gave me so much advice for my upcoming half marathon. The staff are all very friendly and helpful and very accommodating- helping to sort last minute appointments and change/alter when needed. I have seen a few different chiropractors at the clinic and they have all been very knowledgeable and explained everything so clearly. Tom particularly has been great and got me back out running pain-free.

Excellent treatment with Aaron, very thorough, and very informative regarding what the various movements and treatment were for, and considerate throughout, highly recommended.

I had one appointment with Jamie after suffering tremendous pain and he totally relieved the pain, allowing me to carry on with my life as normally as possible with my ongoing back weakness. I would highly recommend him to anyone and would totally trust him to help me again in the future.

Tom has been great right from the start. From listening to me and everything I had to tell him in our first meeting. Taking me and my previous (less good) experience with chiropractors into account and seriously considering why I was there. He helped me, that first time and has done for the number of sessions I've had since. He answers all my nerdy, analytical questions and adapts to me as I need him to. He's also not a snake oil salesman, talking himself out of the possibility of a job within the first month if I found I no longer needed him. None of this "oh, look, another problem I'll need to see you for" malarkey. Tom has been honest and so helpful every time. The reception staff at Skelian are lovely, the atmosphere is nice, and whilst not cheap I have never felt swindled. Only understood, because back pain is a universal suffering we can all sympathise with. Couldn't recommend them and Tom more. And I'll soon be in maintenance, somewhere I never thought I'd get to when all this started in February.

Treatment here took all of my back pain in some appointments. Tom was excellent professional and now I feel safe that whenever I have the same problem I have someone to rely on .

I have been seeing Jamie for the last couple of months, and absolutely can’t recommend him enough. I love his holistic approach and looking at the bigger picture to try and piece together the reasons why my neck and hips are so painful. I always feel anxious when having to go to someone different when it comes to my health, but Jamie is so kind, friendly and understanding of people and how they are feeling. We have had some great results so far with my treatment and feel we are making some headway with all my aches and pains. If you are feeling nervous and not sure what to expect, Jamie is the guy for you.

I recently had a sports massage with Brad, due to extended periods of computer use, I suffer with neck and shoulder tension. Brad was able to work out all the knots in my back and shoulders. I have definitively felt the benefits ever since.

Minor Sports Injuries

Minor sports injuries come in all shapes and sizes and can affect anyone playing sports or generally being active. Different parts of the body can be involved depending on the area of the body injured. In this article we look at symptoms, causes and treatment options. 

About Minor Sports Injuries

A minor sports injury can happen for many reasons: from a specific incident, for example, falling off a horse; or it can build up over time, caused by poor technique, a lack of strength or activation in a key muscle group resulting in overuse or a repetitive strain of the supportive muscles. 

A minor sports injury can happen when an athlete competes at a high level but it can also happen when you are running to catch the bus. Our practitioners can help you get back on track through a range of modalities, including manual therapy, joint mobilisation, kinesiology taping, dry needling, sports massage and a rehab programme.  

Conditions we treat

  • Shoulder sprains (rotator cuff injuries)
  • Elbow pain
  • Groin strain
  • Hamstring strain
  • Knee pain (runner’s knee)
  • Shin splints
  • Achilles tendon problems
  • Ankle sprains
  • Muscle strain
  • Ligament strain

What we offer

Our practitioners can help you get back on track through a range of modalities, including manual therapies, joint mobilisation, Shockwave Therapy, Myofascial release, soft tissue work, dry needling, kinesiology taping and sports massage.  

At Skelian, we have a Sports Specialist Chiropractor (Alex Broomsgrove). Alongside our chiropractic services, we also have our Sports Therapist (Dani Cowley) for massage and sports rehabilitation. If imaging is needed we have our Specialist Physiotherapist (Jonathan Wride) for diagnostic ultrasounds and injection services. 

The first step is to book an initial consultation with one of our dedicated team: our Chiropractors, Sports Therapist or Specialist Physiotherapist so they can carry out a thorough assessment and determine what the injury is and how best to treat it. The patient is at the core of all treatment programmes, and aspects such as nutrition, lifestyle, work and home demands are also taken into consideration when our practitioners plan your individual treatment and rehab programme.  

In some cases, diagnostic imaging may be recommended, and we have a specialist physiotherapist, Jonathan Wride, who performs diagnostic ultrasound scans and injection therapies. We are also able to refer our patients for private MRIs and X-rays if required. 

We are always on hand to answer any queries you may have before, during or after your treatment.

Benefits

What to expect
