​The waiting time is currently about 6 months!​
By that time your symptoms may have become worse and it may even have progressed to a stage that requires more drastic action.
​Even when you receive your Hereford physiotherapy appointment you may only have a few appointments before being discharged. Appointments will often only include initial exercise programs (without suitable progression) with minimal, if any hands-on manual treatment.​ After working as an NHS physiotherapist for several years I understand that there is a lot of pressure to discharge people quickly, to reduce the waiting lists. Unfortunately because of this appointment times are rarely long enough for any suitable manual treatment to be provided and there are rarely enough appointments to see rehabilitation through.
​
​If you are searching 'Hereford near me', 'Hereford physiotherapy', 'Physiotherapy in Hereford' etc, and you want to be assessed asap by a highly qualified physiotherapist, you have come to the right place.
At Dynamic Movement Physiotherapy in Hereford, you will rapidly receive a thorough assessment and treatment program, involving both manual therapy and a progressive exercise program.​ Physiotherapy, as well as sports therapy and sports massage are available to satisfy your needs.

ARE YOU TIRED OF WAITING FOR NHS PHYSIOTHERAPY IN HEREFORD?
AT DYNAMIC MOVEMENT PHYSIOTHERAPY, HERERFORD, EXPERT CARE IS PROVIDED IN:
​​REHABILITATION PROGRAMS​​​​​​​​​​
I can provide a range of rehabilitation programs with physiotherapy in Hereford using a wide range of techniques. Personalized treatment plans can be provided to help reduce pain, increase strength, mobility, balance & stability and return you to your required functional or sporting needs.
​​
RECOVERY FROM GENERAL INJURIES​​
I specialize in the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders (MSKD's). Using my wealth of knowledge through specific training and continuing education, as well as my working experience I have the expertise to treat your injury, whatever the cause.
​
I will work with you to develop a personalised treatment plan, using exercises and manual therapy to help you recover as quickly and safely as possible. I am determined to get you back to your daily functioning requirements at home or at work.​​
​​​​​
RECOVERY FORM SPORTS INJURIES​​​​​
Using the additional training gained I can provide specialized treatments for sports injuries.​ This includes personalized rehabilitation programs using more advanced exercises and manual therapy to help you recover more quickly and get you back to your sporting activities.​​
INJURY PREVENTION​​​​​​​
As well as helping you recover from both general and sporting injuries I can help you prevent injuries.​ You can be sure that after a thorough assessment, an exercise program specific to your findings will be implemented (along with advice on any risk factors). Improving your strength, endurance and flexibility as well as your balance and stability, will help balance out the body and reduce the risk of injuries. ​
IMPROVE SPORTS PERFORMANCE​
​Whether you are a professional or amateur athlete, or just looking to improve your athletic performance, the Hereford physiotherapy and other services on offer can help. Improving muscle imbalances, posture and removing compensatory movement patterns can improve the way your body functions.
​
If not corrected, these changes are likely to be hampering your performance. I offer individualized assessment and treatment plans to help reduce these musculoskeletal dysfunctions, help you achieve your sporting goals and reach your full potential.​​​​​​​​​​
​
ELDERLY CARE​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
Whether you are young or old, active or inactive, the techniques provided wihin physiotherapy at Hererford can be of benefit to you. ​General exercise and physiotherapy is always very useful for the older generation, especially when degenerative changes associated with arthritis occur.
As you get older, if you are more active and stronger, the joints will be more stable and will have less stress passing through them. This will then lower the risk of developing the age related dysfunctions commonly seen. ​Even if you have early stages of arthritis, or have had it for many years, physiotherapy and massage can help improve the health of the joints and can possibly help to reduce pain and instability. ​
​
Exercise programs will help improve your strength and flexibility, reduce pain and improve balance and proprioception. ​These changes will help improve mobility, reduce the risk of falls and improve overall health.
​​​​​PATIENT EDUCATION AND SELF MANAGEMENT ADVICE​​
I believe that patient education is a very important as part of the recovery process with physiotherapy in Hereford. I provide patients with the knowledge and resources needed to take an active role in their own health and well-being.
