How We Can Help
Persistent Pain
At Home Stretch Physiotherapy, we actively listen to your unique story with chronic pain and take a detailed note of your medical history. From there we create an individualised treatment plan aimed at achieving the functional goals we set together.
Acute Injury
We offer a variety of personalised, one-on-one treatments to ensure our patients’ long-term recovery and wellness following any acute tissue injuries. Our approach is always to treat the whole person, not just an isolated body part, so we can get you back to all of the specific activities unique to your life.
Post-Op Rehab
We take the time to understand the root of your problem after surgery to provide the best and most effective treatment. With cutting-edge evidence and dedicated care, you’ll be taking your first steps towards your recovery in no time.
Activity Planning
Whatever your goal is, we can help you break it down into smaller steps and plan a gradual progression that feels manageable to you. We will also make sure that if a flare up happens, you know exactly what to do to get back on track.
Sleep Hygiene
Sleep is an essential factor to wellbeing and recovery. Whether you have had insomnia for years or just recently started struggling to sleep due to pain, we are here to help. The latest research shows that there are many things we can do to improve the quality of our sleep at any stage in life!
Falls Prevention
if you are feeling unsteady on your feet, we are here to help you gain your confidence back! We provide support to ensure that you feel safe practicing the exercises we prescribe for improving balance and strength. We can also help you find the right walking aid if needed!
CBT
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps us to recognise how our thoughts affect our feelings and actions. Noticing and changing some of these responses can disrupt the pain cycle and have a profound impact on our quality of life. See this Self-Help Guide from NHS Inform for extra support.
ACT
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on values-based living. We can help you discover your personal values and feel empowered to take action towards them now. Let's get your quality of life back and not allow pain to be in control any longer. See this blog for more information.
CFT
Cognitive Functional Therapy is a new approach to treating persistent low back pain. As CFT-informed practitioners, we aim to help you make sense of your personal pain story and regain confidence in your back while doing the activities you love. See the RESTORE trial for more details.
Fitness Classes
At Home Stretch Physiotherapy, we offer community fitness classes for women at affordable rates so that anyone who wants support to be more active can feel confident and safe to participate in a relaxed atmosphere. Come join us at The Deep End on Tuesdays at 16:30!
Relaxation Techniques
Our bodies often go into fight, flight or fright mode when feeling severe pain, releasing a cascade of cortisol and adrenaline which only further ramps up the sensitivity of our nervous system. Learning to focus on our breath and/or engaging in aerobic exercise can counteract this by activating our parasympathetic response, which releases endorphins to relax the body and reduce pain.
Social Prescribing
We work hard to make connections and collaborate with other community groups that provide free or affordable support for any of your social needs. This includes counselling, support groups, career advisors, financial support, sleep specialists, befrienders, and more. Whatever you need, we can refer you to the right place.
