What makes us different?
Ian is our Chartered Physiotherapist, he has a huge amount of knowledge and experience in this area.
In addition to his degree in Physiotherapy, he has completed a Bachelors Degree in Sport Science, and has completed diplomas in Sport Therapy, Sports Massage, and Personal Training, meaning that he approaches your problems in a very different way.
​
When Ian assesses you, he looks at your whole body, not just the areas where you are injured or feeling nagging. He looks specifically at what caused that injury, both local to your injury, but also other areas of your body. It is not unusual for him to examine your shoulders to treat hip pain, or examine your feet to treat knee problems.
Then, using all his knowledge, he not only addresses your pain or injury on a local level, he makes sure that it does not return, by retraining biomechanics in the other areas of your body that caused the problem in the first place
Do we offer hands on Physiotherapy?
Absolutely! Massage techniques are traditionally part and parcel of physical therapy treatments, but have been becoming more and more uncommon over the last couple of years.
Here at The Reinge Clinic, we include hands-on techniques in every one of our physiotherapy treatments, whether that is a muscular testing session to check for weaknesses, or massage therapy to loosen tight muscles. The hands-on approach allows us to get faster responses from treatments.
​
When we use our hands to release muscles, we get much quicker responses than if we relied solely on stretching to do this for us. We are able to very quickly release the muscles, and then see immediately what effect that has on your pain.
​
This not only allows you to leave a session feeling less pain than when you came in, but also allows us to better understand what is causing your pain to begin with. This is why every session we do is nearly an hour long, and even our follow-ups are nearly an hour long. This allows us the time to reassess, loosen, and tweak exercises on every single follow-up.
Why do I need to do strength work?
Strength training is a vital component to a physiotherapy treatment. We can use hands-on techniques to help move the body, assessments to find the source of pain, and even mobilisation of joints and nerves. But sadly, we cannot strengthen your body for you.
​
Because Ian has an extensive strength and conditioning background, he is able to customise your strength workouts to get you the results that you need, without needing pages of exercises. Sometimes, one really well targeted exercise can give results superior to a whole page of strength work.
​
We target our exercises to ensure you get the results that you are looking for, and will tailor them for your job and lifestyle. So, if you work away, or hate the gym, this isn't a problem. Every exercise is customisable.
​
For long-term solutions to pain and injuries, you will always need some level of strength training. Without strength, your body simply cannot function properly, which eventually leads to pain and injuries.

I came to see Ian on recommendation of my husband after being in a lot of pain with my feet and also having a numb little toe and having had no luck with a number of other people. He diagnosed me with having a trapped nerve in my hip causing the numb toe, he worked on it for a just couple of minutes and it improved! He then gave me 'homework' exercises to do and after three visits I was back to normal. I still can't believe that it wasn't picked up on by anybody, Ian was the first person to look beyond my foot to find the problem. As for my painful feet which turned out to be Plantar Fasciitis, he worked wonders on those too.

I took my 10 yr old son to see Ian at the Reinge Clinic after he suffered with painful heels for many months. Even after the rest during lockdown he was still in extreme pain after any physical exercise. We visited Ian for a consultation where he examined Archie and gave us some exercises to try. When after a week there was no improvement, I contacted Ian who invited us back to the clinic as part of the initial consultation. Ian adjusted my son’s pelvis and within two days the pain had stopped. We couldn’t believe it, but after months of pain and discomfort, he remains pain free after essentially one treatment. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ian and the team at Reinge Clinic.

I can highly recommend Ian's unique approach to physiotherapy. He doesn't just treat the symptoms, he works like a detective to get to the root of the problem. He found that my back pain had started with a weakness in my foot and so has treated me from the ground up to straighten me out. After 2 sessions I am so much more comfortable and should stay that way if I do my exercises! Very comprehensive and thorough, thank you Ian.
