Neck pain, stiffness and tension headaches treated in your own home.
Neck pain and stiffness are incredibly common, particularly for people who spend long hours at a desk or on a phone. Physiotherapy is highly effective, and we bring it straight to you.
Neck pain arises from the joints, discs and muscles of the cervical spine and often goes hand in hand with headaches and shoulder-blade aching. Restoring movement, addressing posture and workstation set-up, and a short daily routine usually resolves it.
There is no single perfect posture: necks hate stillness more than they hate any particular position. Long motionless hours at a screen, a laptop below eye level, or a pillow that leaves the head tilted all ask the neck to grumble.
Because we come to you, we set up your actual desk, screen and pillow on the spot: small changes that remove the trigger rather than treating its consequences forever.
A large share of recurring headaches are cervicogenic: driven by the upper neck joints and muscles, typically one-sided, starting at the skull base and creeping forward. These respond well to hands-on treatment plus specific strengthening, and poorly to painkillers alone.
We assess whether your headaches fit the pattern and treat the source rather than the symptom.
The one that keeps your neck level with the rest of your spine in your usual sleeping position. Side sleepers generally need a thicker profile than back sleepers. We check yours on your own bed, which beats any generic recommendation.
Sustained stillness is usually the bigger culprit than any single position. Movement breaks and a workstation that fits you matter more than sitting rigidly 'correctly'.
Almost never. Joint sounds without pain are normal and harmless. Sounds accompanied by new pain or dizziness are worth assessing, which is exactly what we do.
If they are cervicogenic (starting from the neck), yes, often substantially. We assess whether yours fit the pattern and are honest if they look like a type that needs your GP instead.
Most straightforward neck pain settles in three to six sessions with a short daily routine. Long-standing problems take longer to rebuild, and we give you an honest estimate up front.
A relaxed but thorough conversation about how things started and what you want to get back to, followed by a physical assessment. You will leave with a clear explanation, a plan and your first exercises, and we will agree how often we should visit.
Charlie has been fantastic after my hip replacement, just can't recommend him enough. He was very patient with me while encouraging me with new exercises, and has really helped my confidence to move forward. I've made progress much quicker than I thought I would and that's all thanks to Charlie.
Emily is a lovely, engaging, patient and knowledgeable physiotherapist. Her time with my husband during his acute stroke recovery phase has been invaluable. Emily researched and adapted her sessions and exercises to my husband's specific requests and needs. Thank you Emily :-)
I had my first appointment with Charlie last month after coming out of hospital with 5 vertebral fractures. Barely able to walk or do anything for myself. Now 7 weeks later I'm able to walk unaided and do everything to look after myself.
This year my long term orthopaedic conditions and my vestibular migraine have been particularly troublesome. But thanks to Charlie's professional guidance my mobility is greatly improved and I am feeling much more confident when out and about.
