Palmers Green Physio Clinic

My first encounter with physiotherapy was over 30 years ago. Treatment for back pain was generalised heat treatment and exercises — and wasn’t particularly successful.
Much more recently I sought my GP’s advice about leg pain and was recommended to try osteopathy. This helped temporarily, but didn’t get to the root of the problem.
The next step was physiotherapy. Much appears to have moved on since my earlier experience. I noticed a much more analytical approach to identifying the cause of the problem, with very particular attention to specific problem areas via strengthening and mobility exercises, with an aide-​memoir of exercise sheets for use at home.
Subsequently I was referred for treatment for neck pains which had led to migraine-​like headaches, and had work done on what my rheumatologist had said was arthritis in my hands. The arthritis is there, but much of the pain appeared to be coming from what Auris Seibutis my physiotherapist thought was a damaged tendon, for which in addition to manipulation a method of applying a flexible splint was devised.
Leg, neck and fingers are all much better I suspect that all my joints and muscle groups would benefit from similar analysis and treatment!
