At Chiltern Physiotherapy we love to help people in their 40’s, 50’s, 60’s and beyond get back to living the life they deserve. A life that is not limited by pain and poor mobility. A life where you can do all the things you love without the fear of pain holding you back.

​

We meet so many people who live with the burden of nagging back pain, stiff and painful neck and shoulders, and creaky painful knees hoping that it will just ‘go away in time’ (which is rarely the case), or that it’s ‘to be expected with age’, which is just NOT true!  

 

By ignoring your pain, you prolong your suffering and the problem often ends up worse that it was when it started and is much more difficult and takes longer to resolve. While it’s tempting to grab the painkillers for a ‘quick fix’ when pain strikes, this is not a permanent solution, and not great for your health long-term.

 

You may have tried lots of different things such as exercises that worked for a family member, or supplements that worked for a friend, or sought advice from other healthcare professionals who didn’t help and feel like you’re getting nowhere.

​

Can you relate?

If that sounds like you, you’re not alone. At Chiltern Physiotherapy we hear this all the time… In fact people who come to see us have often:

·       Thought the pain would go away on it’s own - but it didn’t

·       Been unable to get a face to face appointment with their GP and been told to ‘rest and take painkillers’ without anyone actually looking at and assessing their problem.

·       Had several telephone calls with their GP only to be prescribed MORE rest and even stronger painkillers without actually being seen face to face.

·       Been referred for NHS physio only to wait for months and then be offered a telephone appointment and given a few exercises and not actually being seen face to face and physically assessed and offered hands on treatment.

·       Consulted with ‘Dr Google’ and scared themselves with inaccurate self-diagnoses.

·       Tried a few YouTube exercises, but those exercises either didn’t do a thing or aggravated the pain making it 10 times worse

·       Thought it would be a good idea to rest because the pain was so bad, but all that did was make the area even more stiff and tight

·       Been told by a family member or friend that “everybody gets aches and pains as they get older” - making it easy to accept it’s “just a part of life”

 

Any of those sound familiar?

If any of these have happened to you - we would love to help you by inviting you to book a call to talk with one of our physios to find out what can be done to help you. The fact that you’ve tried any or all of these things already, like many people we see, is actually a GOOD THING because when you know what doesn’t work - you are closer to finding the thing that does!
