We carry out an in-depth diagnosis of your complaint, which takes into account your lifestyle, injury history and any accidents which may have contributed to it.

They will then use a variety of strength and mobility tests, joint manipulation and mild pressure to assess your symptoms and explain how your body has been affected. Next we develop a unique treatment plan for you.

What is a Happyback Physiotherapy session like?

Following a thorough examination of your health and medical history, your physiotherapist will discuss what you hope to achieve. Your physiotherapist will design a personalised programme to rehabilitate you and ensure you are able to achieve a pain-free lifestyle as quickly as possible (encouraging customers to return for unnecessary appointments is not our philosophy). The techniques used to achieve this will vary but will be based upon forms of manual manipulation such as massage, prescribed movement, exercise, education and advice. We also use our advanced MLS Class IV Laser for areas too sensitive to be touched or for very quick recovery from certain conditions: handsonwellbeing.com/mls-class-iv-therapeutic-laser.

Our Philosophy

When you’re injured or in pain, you want someone to see and treat you as a whole person, not just your symptoms.

Our osteopaths at Happyback are great at not only treating your symptoms, but seeing the bigger picture and ensuring you do too.

We understand that your pain or injury is unique to you and needs a management plan that’s going to work with you and your lifestyle to empower you to not only get better but prevent it from happening again. All our sessions are firmly grounded in evidence-based practice based on the most up-to-date research in movement and injury, so you can be sure you’re in good hands.

Depending on what your issues are, you can expect your session to involve one or all of the following: an in-depth interview to discuss your symptoms, injury triage and functional assessment, muscle strength testing, stretch testing, manual treatment and exercise prescription and movement coaching.

So whether you’re suffering from a chronic problem, recent injury, or a performance issue, book yourself in and let us help you break the cycle of pain and dysfunction.

The Feldenkrais Method® can be experienced in two ways.

1. Individual sessions which are called Functional Integration® (FI) lessons

2. Group classes which are termed Awareness Through Movement® (ATM) lessons.

Our lead clinician and physiotherapist Romyna Menendez incorporates her years of Feldenkrais training into her physiotherapy sessions, giving you a near unique clinical experience, certainly in the UK - Feldenkrais is far more established over in the States, Germany and many other countries.

It is typically used by actors and dancers to maintain their bodies under the extreme stress which their profession demands. The Feldenkrais Method® offers a unique way of making lasting improvements to your life through movement. You will learn how to move through the world with greater ease, co-ordination, flexibility and grace.

It is a somatic practice that harnesses mindful attention and gentle movement to heighten awareness of yourself and your sensations. In doing so you learn from the inside out, making use of the brain’s plasticity – its ability to change for the better at any age.
