Knee pain

Physiotherapy can be incredibly helpful for knee pain. Whether caused by injury, overuse or a long-term condition like arthritis, we can help you restore function and get back to the activities you love.

Our physiotherapists work on strengthening the muscles around the knee, improving flexibility, and reducing pain. Chronic knee pain may also benefit from supplementary treatments like shockwave therapy, blood flow restriction training or acupuncture.

Knee conditions we treat include meniscus tear, anterior cruciate ligament injuries, cartilage injuries, patellar dislocation, runners’ knee and arthritis.

Shoulder pain

A shoulder problem can make life difficult and frustrating. It may cause pain when lifting the arm, reaching behind or overhead or performing day to day activities. Whether your problem started suddenly, e.g. from an accident or sudden change in activity, or whether it developed over time, physiotherapy exercises to strengthen the muscles around the shoulder and to increase range of motion can be highly effective. Manual therapy, acupuncture and shockwave therapy can also provide relief.

We’re here to help with all your shoulder problems including rotator cuff issues, generalised pain and tightness, a fractured shoulder, tendonitis, frozen shoulder, dislocation and arthritis.

Hip pain

Hip pain can severely limit mobility and interfere with day-to-day activities such as shopping, working, socialising and enjoying hobbies. Our physiotherapists implement targeted interventions to strengthen hip muscles, alleviate pain, help the joint to move more freely and get you back to your daily activities as quickly as possible.

Some of the most common causes of hip pain that we see include bursitis, arthritis, fractures, labral tears and impingement.

Physiotherapy for Arthritis

Living with a chronic condition can be debilitating. While arthritis is often viewed as an unavoidable consequence of ageing, with the right physiotherapy and management strategies it’s possible to significantly improve your symptoms and enhance your wellbeing.

Our physiotherapists are experienced in managing all types of arthritis and focus both on providing immediate pain relief as well as long-term pain management.

As well as all the above, we also provide physiotherapy to all the other joints in the body including the hands and feet, the elbow, spine and neck.

How we work with joint pain and arthritis

Whether you’re experiencing joint pain from injury or overuse, or living with arthritis, our Milton Keynes physiotherapy clinic offers specialised treatments to minimise pain, improve mobility and help you stay active.

Everybody experiences pain differently. Pain can also be intensified by factors unique to the individual such as previous experience of pain, lifestyle factors and the body’s own pain ‘alarm system’. Our approach to your care is therefore highly personalised, taking into account your unique body, specific symptoms, medical history and lifestyle. We also provide advice on self-care strategies to help you better manage any ongoing pain.

We’re committed to helping you reach your health goals and work closely with leading consultants in the field of rheumatology, orthopaedics, sports and exercise, and the musculoskeletal system, to ensure the best possible outcomes for you.

As your strength and range of movement improves, your physiotherapist will help you to advance your exercises at a pace that’s suitable for you and your body.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The best there is. Nick Allen is my physio and he excels in every area. There is nothing he doesn't know about supporting recovery. I snapped a leg muscle and came to Nick hobbling and worried I'd never play sports again. Nick has taken me on a journey of recovery and I'm now at a stage where I'm running and enjoying my life again. Exercises I've been given have been adapted to my needs. The level of detail Nick can go into about my injury, why I couldn't do certain activities, how my muscles worked and through it all, has taught me alot about how my body works. His experience performing physio in multiple sports and at all levels also gives him a great ability to know how hard he can push my recovery. Physix and Nick will be the people I use in the long run. I can't recommend Physix and Nick highly enough.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I saw Nick after having a total hip replacement. My aim was to get my strength back, walk correctly and build muscle. The care received was excellent. Nick is a great personable guy. He designed a personal programme after an initial assessment to align with my goals. i have made a full recovery and now walk properly and continue to build muscle and fitness. I would highly recommend Nick for all things physio, especially rehabilitation.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the outset my experiences with the team at Physix have been stellar. Nick quickly identified exactly what was needed to get my knee back into full operation again, and allow me to compete at my beloved squash. Throughout our sessions his knowledge and patient approach were second to none, and he constantly encouraged me to challenge myself further. As a result of his tailored methods and insights, my healing has not only been rapid but the whole experience has inspired me to get fit and strengthen the rest of my body too. As a result I feel 20 years younger in just a matter of months and my life has completely changed. I can’t recommend Physix highly enough.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. First time with Louise, who I saw with a shoulder injury. She made me feel at ease and went into a lot of detail and certainly put across she knew what she was talking about. She spent the time listening to me without me feeling like I was being rushed. Excellent result and no hesitation in recommending her.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would heavily recommend Nick to anyone. Nick helped me diagnose a problem that was stopping me running. He helped me navigate which medical procedure would be best and was ready to support recovery at the right time. There were two major things that I loved about Nick’s style. The first was that he makes it measurable so you can see progress. The second is that he tailors the recovery work to your favourite type of exercise so it doesn’t just feel like more stretches. I rapidly recovered from an operation with his support and was able to run more than I ever had. I was even able to fulfil my dream and run my first marathon with Nick’s advice. Thanks Nick.
