Special Interests and Expertise

While Jack is skilled in treating a wide range of conditions, he has developed a special interest in the following areas:

Foot and Ankle Injuries

Jack is particularly passionate about helping patients recover from foot and ankle injuries, which are common among athletes and active individuals. He focuses on restoring mobility, strength, and stability, utilising a combination of manual therapy, exercise prescription, and biomechanical assessments. Jack’s approach ensures that patients recover from their injuries and improve their overall foot and ankle health to prevent future issues. He tailors each treatment plan to the individual, addressing specific concerns such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, and ankle sprains.

Neck Pain and Headaches

Jack specialises in the treatment of chronic neck pain and headaches, employing a variety of advanced techniques, including manual therapy, postural correction, and targeted exercises. He understands the intricate relationship between neck dysfunction and headaches, often working to release tension in the upper cervical spine and surrounding muscles. Jack’s holistic approach addresses underlying causes such as poor posture, stress, and ergonomic factors to provide long-term relief and improve patients’ quality of life. He also educates patients on self-management strategies to help them maintain their progress.

Sporting Injuries

With a deep understanding of sports-related biomechanics, Jack excels in helping athletes recover swiftly and safely from various sports injuries. He has extensive experience working with both amateur and professional athletes, offering tailored rehabilitation programs that focus on restoring optimal function and preventing re-injury. Jack’s approach includes physical rehabilitation and education on injury prevention, technique improvement, and performance enhancement. He works closely with athletes to ensure they return to their sport stronger and more resilient, whether they’re recovering from ACL tears, rotator cuff injuries, or muscle strains.

Persistent Pain Management

Jack is dedicated to managing chronic pain, which often requires a multifaceted approach. He focuses on comprehensive strategies that include manual therapy, exercise therapy, and patient education to enhance function and reduce pain over the long term. Jack is skilled in identifying and addressing the complex factors contributing to persistent pain, such as muscle imbalances, nerve sensitisation, and psychological stressors. His treatment plans are individualised, aiming to empower patients to take control of their pain and improve their quality of life. Jack also emphasises the importance of a supportive, collaborative relationship with his patients to achieve the best outcomes.

Home-Based Care and Rehabilitation

Jack is especially committed to providing high-quality care for patients requiring home-based rehabilitation, recognising that some individuals may face challenges in accessing clinic-based services. He offers personalised rehabilitation plans for falls prevention, balance and vertigo treatment, and functional exercises tailored to the home environment. Jack’s approach is particularly beneficial for elderly patients, those with mobility issues, or individuals recovering from surgery who need assistance regaining their independence. He ensures that each home-based session is as effective as in-clinic treatments, using portable equipment and innovative techniques to deliver comprehensive care.

Comprehensive Physiotherapy Care

Jack’s holistic approach ensures that each patient receives a personalised treatment plan designed to not only relieve symptoms but also to promote a complete and lasting recovery. His goal is to improve mobility, flexibility, and strength, preventing the recurrence of problems, especially in areas prone to chronic issues. Jack is also trained in dry needling and incorporates it into his treatment approach when appropriate, providing an additional tool to relieve pain and promote healing, and an accelerated recovery.
