Common Conditions that Interventional Sonographer can Treat :

Back Pain

Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek out physiotherapy — and for good reason. Whether it’s caused by poor posture, heavy lifting, a slipped disc, or prolonged sitting at a desk, back pain can seriously affect your daily life.

Our physiotherapists use a combination of hands-on treatment, personalised exercises, and posture correction to reduce pain and improve mobility. We focus on identifying the root cause of your discomfort to ensure long-term relief — not just a quick fix.

If you’re struggling with lower back pain or stiffness that won’t go away, a professional physiotherapy assessment could make a real difference to your recovery.

Sports Injuries

Whether you’re a regular gym-goer, a weekend runner, or part of a local sports team, sports injuries can strike at any time. Common issues include muscle strains, ligament sprains, tendonitis, and joint instability — all of which can limit performance and delay your return to activity.

Our physiotherapists specialise in sports injury rehabilitation. We develop tailored treatment plans that include manual therapy, targeted strengthening, mobility work, and advice on safe return-to-play protocols. Our goal is not just to treat the injury, but to help prevent future problems through education and movement correction.

If you’ve recently been sidelined by an injury, our physios can help you recover faster and smarter.

Arthritis (Osteoarthritis & Rheumatoid Arthritis)

Arthritis affects millions of people across the UK and is a leading cause of joint pain and stiffness — especially in older adults. While there’s no cure, physiotherapy plays a crucial role in managing symptoms and maintaining mobility.

Our experienced physiotherapists offer arthritis-focused physiotherapy designed to reduce joint pain, improve strength, and help you move more freely. We provide personalised exercise programs that are gentle yet effective, along with joint protection advice to support long-term joint health.

If you’re living with osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis and looking for natural, movement-based solutions, physiotherapy can help you stay active and independent.

Post Surgery Rehabilitation and Recovery

Recovering from surgery can be a long and frustrating journey — but physiotherapy plays a vital role in speeding up recovery, reducing complications, and helping you regain strength and movement. Whether you’ve had a joint replacement, ACL repair, shoulder surgery, or spinal procedure, the right rehab plan is essential.

At the Faringdon Wellbeing Clinic we offer post-operative physiotherapy tailored to your procedure and personal goals. Our team works closely with you to reduce swelling, improve joint mobility, rebuild strength, and guide you safely back to daily activities.

If you’ve recently had surgery, our physiotherapy team is here to support every stage of your recovery.

Shoulder based injuries

Shoulder pain is a common complaint we see at the clinic — and it can be incredibly limiting. Conditions like frozen shoulder, rotator cuff injuries, or impingement can make simple tasks like dressing, lifting, or sleeping uncomfortable or even impossible.

Our physiotherapists assess your range of motion, strength, and shoulder mechanics to create a personalised treatment plan. This may include manual therapy, mobility exercises, and strengthening routines to restore function and reduce pain.

If you’re struggling with a stiff or painful shoulder, physiotherapy could be the key to regaining movement and avoiding long-term complications.

Knee Pain and Issues

Knee pain affects people of all ages — from active runners to those with wear-and-tear conditions like osteoarthritis. Whether it’s caused by poor tracking of the kneecap (patellofemoral pain syndrome), a cartilage tear, or muscle imbalances, knee pain can interfere with both exercise and daily movement.

Our physiotherapists are experienced in diagnosing and treating a wide range of knee issues. We focus on improving strength, flexibility, and alignment through tailored rehab exercises, helping you move with confidence and reduce the risk of future injury.

Don’t let persistent knee pain hold you back our physiotherapy team is here to help you get back on your feet.

Tendon Based Injuries

Tendon injuries are often the result of overuse or repetitive strain — common in both athletes and desk-based professionals. Conditions like Achilles tendinopathy, tennis elbow, or golfer’s elbow can cause persistent discomfort and limit your ability to perform daily or sporting activities.

Our physiotherapists are skilled in treating tendon issues through load management, eccentric strengthening exercises, and soft tissue techniques. We’ll guide you through a progressive rehab plan that addresses both the symptoms and the underlying biomechanical factors.

If you’re experiencing nagging tendon pain, physiotherapy can help restore strength and function — and prevent recurrence.

Postural Problems and Desk-Related Pain

With more people working at desks for long hours, postural problems have become a leading cause of neck, shoulder, and back pain. Slouching, poor screen setup, and prolonged sitting can lead to muscular imbalances and joint stiffness.

Our physiotherapy team offers posture assessments and corrective exercise programs tailored to your lifestyle. We also provide ergonomic advice and practical strategies to help prevent pain from returning — whether you’re working from home or commuting into central London.

If you’re dealing with discomfort linked to your posture or workstation setup, our physiotherapists can help you move more freely and work more comfortably.
