Greenwood Physiotherapy
Private physiotherapy clinic in Nottingham specialising in the lower limb
Recover from your injury and take back control
Pain or an injury can stop you living life how you want to.
Pain can get in the way of just about everything, from simple activities like walking to the shops to enjoying a weekly kick about or competing in high-level sport. It can make you feel defeated and stuck.
Luckily, the right advice can turn things around. That’s where I come in.
At Greenwood Physiotherapy, I offer a clear diagnosis and a step-by-step plan that puts you in charge of your recovery.
I believe self-management is the best way to get over injury. The body has a remarkable ability to heal itself with a bit of guidance. My mission is to give you the tools to make that happen as quickly and safely as possible so that you can get back on track.
Sports physiotherapy
Getting early and accurate advice is key after an injury
Its very frustrating when injury stops you playing the sport you love, whatever level your at. I have 15 years experience of getting people back on the pitch. Through early and accurate diagnosis, I can help set you on the right path quickly. This will enable you to return to sport safely and avoid any secondary problems down the line.
Am I ready to return to sport?
This is a question I get asked a lot and it can be a difficult physical and mental hurdle to overcome. I have collaborated with orthopaedic surgeons and have written post-op rehabilitation protocols on a number of surgical procedures including a functional return to sport criteria. I will run through a series of physical tests with you which will help determine if you are ready to return to sport after an injury or operation.
Pain for a long time?
Chronic pain can have a devastating impact on your life and make you feel like there is no end in sight. But a good understanding of your condition and a few self management tools can start to turn things around for you. For example osteoarthritis is an often misunderstood diagnosis and is usually a part of the body’s normal aging process. It does not necessarily mean that you will need to stop doing the things you enjoy. In fact, if you are able to continue with an active lifestyle and manage flare ups appropriately then your outcome is likely to be much more positive.
A persons experience of pain and disability is variable and even when you have been told you have osteoarthritis this does not necessarily mean you will go on to have a joint replacement. I can help you understand the physical and mental processes that contribute to having pain for a long time, help you manage your flare ups and then start to take positive steps towards improving your physical health.

The facilities
The facilities at the Fulcrum Performance Hub include a private consultation room and a fully equipped strength and conditioning suite. The space can be used as part of your exercise based treatment programme. Whatever level of physical fitness you have it is likely you will benefit from some form of strength training and the room can also be used as part of a supervised exercise rehabilitation package. This can be discussed during your initial assessment.
A few years ago I had a horrific ACL & Meniscus injury. For my rehabilitation I was under the care of Tim. He’s an excellent physiotherapist. Tim guided me through all the various stages of recovery and he was always on the other end of the phone if I had any concerns. Nothing was too much trouble for him.
I couldn’t recommend Tim highly enough. His expertise and professionalism got me back playing football again. When I had my injury playing for a professional club abroad another physio said I would never kick a ball again.
It’s thanks to Tim I’m back playing. If you’re coming back from injury don’t hesitate to give Tim a call. With his vast knowledge and experience Tim won’t be long in getting you fit again.
Thanks again Tim!
