The job of a physiotherapist is to assist the patient in returning to their normal physical function – whatever that may be.
It can involve treating a professional athlete to ensure a full and early return to competition or helping an elderly person to regain independence at home.
The skills a physiotherapist requires are as varied as the conditions they see.
At Fountain Square Physio we have a team that covers all possible conditions. There are therapists specialising in paediatrics to those used to treating professional footballers.
Amongst other conditions, we treat:
Some sporting injuries result from a single incident, but other causes include a failure to warm up adequately, using equipment incorrectly, poor technique, repetitive movements or training too hard. Continuing with the activity without investigating the cause of the problem and treating the injury appropriately can lead to further problems.
Following a surgical procedure such as a hip or knee replacement, muscle or tendon repair, ligament reconstruction or fracture repair of the foot, ankle or shoulder, physiotherapy has shown to help patients recover and regain strength much quicker in the affected part of the body. By using gentle manipulation of the affected joints and muscles, using a carefully constructed rehabilitation programme.
Our team of dedicated and skilled professionals are committed to providing you with the very best care in identifying and treating all types of sporting injuries. We are passionate about helping our clients to achieve their sporting goals and will work with you to ensure a positive outcome with minimum risk of a recurrence.
At Fountain Square we work with you to identify the problem and provide a range of treatments designed to help you return to your former fitness levels as quickly as possible.
Whether you are suffering from joint problems, sprains, strains or muscle tears, we offer a range of solutions to aid your recovery and to prevent re-occurrence of the injury.
From a simple sprain through to a major rupture and even post-operative therapy, we can get you back to optimum fitness and participating in your sport again as quickly as possible.
When my 12-year-old regular netball playing daughter started complaining of heel pain I contacted Sarah. Sarah quickly identified a number of problems and advised on a course of treatment including a program which could be done at home. Her level of service was outstanding!
Sarah has treated me for a couple of running injuries and I would highly recommend her. Her holistic approach helps to focus not only on the specific injury but also to rectify any other issues. Highly skilled, friendly and approachable and I have total trust in her.
I had terrible arthritis in my right knee and really struggled to walk. My running and football came to an end, the pain kept me awake and in 2008 I was due to have a full knee replacement. I was introduced to the Spiral Stabilisation technique which includes 4 different exercises that take 5 minutes every morning. My mobility and posture are much improved and the pain has more or less disappeared. I am convinced that this technique has been the reason for this.
I have suffered from a back problem on and off for many years. Under the guidance of Fountain Square Physio, I started the Spiral Stabilisation programme with excellent results. The exercises are easy and developed and increased over time to make for a convenient routine to do at home.
After 18 months seeking a diagnosis for my daughter’s crippling knee and hip pain one consultation with Sarah left us clear of the cause of her pain and a progressive exercise programme returned her to the gym. She gave my daughter life back!

My son is an active 12 year old with a left-sided hemiplegia.
Sarah has been a wonderful support progressing his exercise programme and encouraging him into many sports. His sporting activities have contributed enormously to his confidence.
I had an operation for a trapped nerve in September 2017 but after it, the pain was still severe and I thought I’d have to give up my love of golf & gardening. However, after a course of Spiral Stabilisation at Fountain Square Physio with Stuart, the outcome was miraculous!
Having suffered from low back pain for 2 years, 2 visits to Sarah at Fountain Square clinic relieved it. She supported me during my training programme to complete the London marathon.
