The Conditions We Treat – And How Physiotherapy Can Help
At Principle Physiotherapy, we work with people from all walks of life — from those struggling with everyday aches and pains to individuals aiming to return to sport or perform at their best.
No matter the starting point, our focus is always the same: restoring strength, improving mobility, and helping you move with confidence again.
Strength and Mobility for Everyday Life (and Performance)
Strength and mobility are the foundations of healthy movement. When either is limited, everyday tasks such as walking, lifting, reaching, or even sleeping comfortably can become difficult.
We commonly help people who:
Feel stiff or restricted with movement
Have lost strength following injury or time off activity
Want to move better, feel stronger, and reduce the risk of future injury
Are returning to work, sport, or exercise after pain or injury
Our physiotherapy approach combines hands-on treatment, tailored exercise programmes, and education, helping you build long-term resilience — not just short-term relief.
Shoulder Pain
Shoulder problems are common and can significantly affect daily activities such as dressing, reaching, lifting, or sleeping.
We often see:
Rotator cuff-related pain
Shoulder stiffness or weakness
Pain following injury, overuse, or poor posture
Treatment focuses on restoring shoulder mobility, improving strength and control, and addressing the underlying cause — not just the symptoms.
Wrist and Hand Problems
Wrist pain can affect everything from work tasks to sport and hobbies.
We regularly treat:
Sprains and strains
Overuse injuries
Post-fracture stiffness or weakness
Our rehab programmes aim to improve strength, mobility, and load tolerance so you can confidently return to daily activities.
Back Pain
Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek physiotherapy support.
We help with:
Acute and persistent lower back pain
Stiffness and reduced mobility
Pain linked to work, lifting, sport, or prolonged sitting
Rather than relying solely on rest, we focus on movement-based rehabilitation, helping you regain confidence and stay active safely.
Injuries We Commonly Manage
Fractures
Following a fracture, stiffness, weakness, and loss of confidence are common — even once the bone has healed.
Physiotherapy helps by:
Restoring movement and strength
Improving function and balance
Supporting a safe return to work, sport, and daily life
Dislocations
Dislocations can leave joints unstable and vulnerable to repeat injury if not properly rehabilitated.
We focus on:
Rebuilding strength around the joint
Improving control and stability
Reducing the risk of future dislocations
Sprains and Soft Tissue Injuries
Ligament and soft tissue injuries are common in both sport and everyday life.
Physiotherapy can:
Speed up recovery
Restore full movement and strength
Reduce the risk of long-term problems or re-injury
How We Help
Every person we see receives a thorough assessment and a personalised treatment plan. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all rehab.
Our goal is to help you:
Move better
Feel stronger
Return to the activities that matter most to you
Whether that’s getting through the working day without pain, enjoying exercise again, or performing at your best — we’re here to support you every step of the way.
