Dunham Physio Services
At Dunham Physio, we specialise in musculoskeletal (MSK) physiotherapy, providing expert assessment and treatment for people experiencing pain, stiffness, or movement difficulties. Every appointment lasts 45 minutes, giving time for a detailed evaluation and a personalised treatment plan tailored to your goals.
Steph combines hands on therapy, movement retraining, and evidence based exercise programmes to help you understand your condition, regain confidence, and make meaningful progress.
What Dunham Physio Helps With
Musculoskeletal problems can affect any part of the body - from the spine and shoulders to the hips, knees, ankles, and everything in between.
Common issues include persistent back or neck pain, muscle strains, tendon irritations, ligament sprains, nerve related pain such as sciatica, and joint conditions like osteoarthritis.
Steph also treats more specific problems, including frozen shoulder, rotator cuff–related shoulder pain, meniscal and knee injuries, hip pain such as greater trochanteric pain syndrome, and movement restrictions that make everyday tasks difficult.
If your pain or stiffness is affecting daily life: lifting, sleeping, walking, working, or exercising; physiotherapy can help you understand why it’s happening and what you can do to improve it.
How Physiotherapy Helps
Physiotherapy plays a vital role in diagnosing the source of pain, restoring movement, and strengthening the body for long term recovery.
Steph’s approach focuses on three key principles:
1. Understand the Problem
Your appointment begins with a thorough assessment to identify the root cause of your symptoms. You’ll receive a clear explanation of what’s going on and what to expect from your recovery.
2. Move With Confidence
Targeted exercises form the foundation of MSK physiotherapy. These may include strengthening movements to support joints, flexibility work to relieve stiffness, and functional retraining to help you move more easily in day-to-day life or return to activity after injury or surgery.
Programmes are tailored specifically to you: your lifestyle, your goals, and your stage of recovery.
3. Reduce Pain and Restore Mobility
Hands-on techniques such as joint mobilisations, soft-tissue therapy, and guided stretching can help reduce discomfort, ease tightness, and improve overall movement quality. Manual therapy works alongside exercise to support both short- and long-term progress.
Specialist Areas of Treatment
Joint Pain Relief
Conditions such as arthritis, hip and knee pain, and shoulder stiffness can limit both movement and confidence. Through a combination of manual therapy and structured exercise, treatment aims to restore comfort, strength, and functional motion.
Muscle Pain & Strain Recovery
Muscle tightness or strain - whether from tension, overuse, or injury - can interrupt work, sport, or daily activity. Treatment focuses on easing discomfort, improving flexibility, and rebuilding strength so you can return to your usual routine.
Nerve Pain Management
Issues like sciatica or nerve irritation can cause sharp, radiating, or persistent pain. Steph provides careful assessment and a clear plan to calm symptoms, improve nerve mobility, and restore everyday function.
Mobility & Movement Rehabilitation
Reduced flexibility, post-injury stiffness, or difficulty with certain movements can be improved with tailored mobility work and movement retraining. Treatment helps you feel more controlled, balanced, and confident in how your body moves.
