Based in Newbury, Berkshire, Touch Physio provides professionally delivered rehabilitation solutions for both human and animal clients with a multitude of musculoskeletal dysfunctions, pre and post-surgical issues, sports injuries, management of chronic conditions and problems coping with the physical demands of daily life. Both human and animal lives can be compromised by the body's ability to cope and, as humans, we seek treatment to alleviate our suffering.
Animals, too, have the right to live enjoyable companion lives and have a good quality of life. As owners and caregivers, it is our responsibility to ensure our animals can express normal behaviours and function without limitation from fear, distress or pain. A life in pain or suffering, is no life at all. Fortunately, a touch of physio can help both you and/or your hard-working companion or family friend recover, rehabilitate and live a good quality of life.
Therapy is tailored individually, with the aim of treating the source of the problem(s) not just the symptoms via comprehensive holistic assessment and treatment, taking account of previous medical/veterinary history, work requirements, personal demands, interests and goals.

After graduating from Queen Margaret University College, Edinburgh, with a BSc (Hons) Physiotherapy in 2002, I went travelling and then worked for many years for the NHS, in Foundation and Community Hospitals, Consultant Clinics and GP Surgeries.
During this time, I gained extensive knowledge and skills in rehabilitation, working in numerous medical specialties including orthopaedics and trauma, neurology, respiratory, paediatrics, hydrotherapy, gym rehab, elderly care and musculoskeletal outpatients, enabling me to draw from a multifaceted experience and therapy base.

A local sports therapist recommended Touch Physio to me as a very professional and very knowledgeable physio service, I was not disappointed.
During my first consultation my problems were indentified and my ailment fully explained to me in a way that I understood.
The sessions that followed were delivered with the same level of professionalism and appreciation for my sporting/training needs as a competitive cyclist.
By strictly following the rehabilitation exercises that I was prescribed over a number of sessions I am now well on my way to recovery.

Physiotherapy is suitable for most conditions, most people and most animals (provided they are handleable or able to be treated under anaesthetic if necessary).
Some conditions or pathologies and certain stages of the healing process do contraindicate/limit some elements of therapy.
However, physiotherapy is a non-invasive therapy and can encompass a wide range of applications and approaches to allow modified or adapted therapy to meet individual needs.
The information and detail given by you in the initial assessment will alert your physiotherapist to any of these issues.
