Get back to living your life.
Over the last 18+ years, I've helped thousands of patients, not just with pain but with sports performance and injury prevention too.
What I treat
…to name a few common complaints.
Not sure if I can help? Drop me a message, tell me what's going on and I'll advise. Every patient needs an individual approach.
Who I treat
All ages, from babies just a few months old to people over 90. My patients are everyone, really: office workers, tradespeople, parents and retirees whose pain is getting in the way of life, through to weekend warriors and professional athletes. Often they're people who've suffered for a long time without ever getting a proper explanation or effective treatment.

Your first visit
Nervous about your first visit? That's normal.
When you're in pain, trusting someone new with it is a big step. Here's exactly what to expect.
What happens
Your first appointment lasts 60 minutes. I'll ask about your health history and the problem you've come in with, then test how you move. That's what gets us to a working diagnosis, which I'll explain in plain English. Where it's appropriate, we start treatment the same day. If it's something I shouldn't be treating, I'll tell you straight and point you to the right person.
What to wear
Loose, comfortable clothes. Stretchy shorts or joggers are ideal. For women, a sports bra or vest top is fine. You won't be asked to undress to your underwear.
Bringing someone
You're welcome to bring someone along. Under 18s need an adult with them for their first visit, and under 16s always need an adult present.
Getting here
Redtree Business Suites, 33 Dalmarnock Rd, Glasgow G40 4LA. There's free on-street parking and two free car parks within 150 yards. The building has a lift and disabled access.
Finding the real cause
Where it hurts isn't always where the problem is
Pain tends to show up where your body is under the most stress, and that stress often comes from somewhere else. It might be a pelvis sitting slightly out of position, a spine curving to compensate, or a movement pattern that's drifted over the years.
Treat only the sore spot and it tends to come back. So as well as working out what hurts, I work out why it started hurting, and treat the areas feeding into it.
Rest can settle pain down. It won't fix the reason it started.
Many of the people I see have lived with their problem for years and tried everything else first. Those are the cases I find most rewarding.
Your road back
Your road back, in three steps
-
Assess: what's wrong, and why.
I take your full history and the story of the problem, then test how you move, using orthopaedic tests where they're needed. You leave with a clear working diagnosis and an explanation of what's driving it.
-
Treat: the cause, not just the symptom.
Hands-on treatment of the painful area and the areas that load into it, using whichever treatments suit your problem.
-
Rehab: make it less likely to come back.
At the right time, I'll build you a rehab plan for your body and your goals. It lowers the chance of the same injury coming back and stops problems building up year after year.
How many sessions?
Most people need three to five. Some need fewer, and long-standing or complicated problems can take longer. After your first session I'll give you an honest idea of what to expect. No endless appointments: the aim is to get you better and give you what you need to keep on top of it yourself.
Treatment
Built around you, not a textbook
No two people get the same plan. I choose from the treatments below based on what your body needs, not a template. ART, acupuncture and IASTM are included in your session at no extra cost.
