A hamstring strain usually strikes mid-sprint and can return if rehab is rushed. Most recover well with a staged plan that rebuilds eccentric strength, running and top-speed sprinting. Here is how each stage works.
Most ankle sprains heal well, but many people sprain the same ankle again because pain settled before strength and balance returned. Here is how to manage the first days, when to get an X-ray and how rehab prevents a repeat.
Plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of pain under the heel, known for that sharp stab with your first steps. Stretching, progressive strengthening, supportive footwear and patience help most people. Here is a practical plan.
Tendinopathy is a painful tendon that no longer tolerates load. Rest eases it briefly, but a staged loading programme is what rebuilds tendon capacity. Here is how the stages work and how long recovery realistically takes.
Hip pain may come from the outer hip tendons, the joint itself or the lower back. Most cases respond well to targeted strengthening and small changes to how you sit, stand and sleep. Here is how to tell the causes apart.
Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow are tendon problems that make gripping, lifting and twisting painful. Most improve with load management and progressive strengthening, though recovery takes patience. Here is what helps.
Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) makes the shoulder painful and stiff in every direction, often for months. It does usually ease with time, and stage-matched physiotherapy keeps you comfortable and helps you regain movement.
Posture-related pain is the ache that builds when you stay in one position too long. There is no single perfect posture: moving more often, a sensible set-up and regular strength work help most. Here is a practical plan.
Most neck pain is not serious and usually improves within a few weeks with gentle movement, strengthening and small changes to daily habits. Here is what causes it, how whiplash recovery works and which warning signs need urgent help.
Sciatica is nerve pain that travels from the buttock down the leg. Most cases improve without surgery within weeks to months, and staying active with guided exercise helps. Here is what helps and which warning signs need emergency care.
From lower back pain and sciatica to frozen shoulder, ankle sprains and tendon problems, these are some of the most common conditions treated with physiotherapy. Find your area of pain, learn what helps and see when to get checked by a doctor.
Physiotherapy is often a sensible first step for problems that affect how you move, whether that is a back that seized up overnight, a knee that aches on the stairs or a shoulder that will not lift above your head. The conditions treated with physiotherapy at Tylurs com range from sudden sports injuries to aches that have built up slowly over months or years.
Use the body-area guide below to find your condition, and check when it is better to see a doctor first.
Different tissues need different kinds of help:
Across all of these, advice matters as much as treatment: knowing what is going on and what you can safely do reduces worry and keeps you active.
Your first appointment starts with a conversation about how the problem began, what makes it better or worse and how it affects your day. Your physiotherapist also asks screening questions about your general health as a safety check.
They then look at how you move, test strength and flexibility, and may gently examine the painful area. By the end, you should understand the most likely cause of your symptoms and the plan. Our guide to your first physiotherapy appointment explains the visit in more detail.
Lower back pain affects most people at some point, and sciatica causes pain that travels from the back into the buttock and leg. We also treat neck pain, including whiplash, and posture-related pain from desk work or long drives. Our back and neck pain treatment brings these together.
Frozen shoulder causes pain and stiffness that build up gradually and, according to the NHS, can take months or even years to settle, while tennis elbow and golfer's elbow cause pain around the elbow when you grip or lift.
Hip pain can come from the joint itself or from the tendons and bursae (small fluid-filled cushions) around it. Knee pain includes osteoarthritis, runner's knee and ligament problems.
Ankle sprains and hamstring strains are common in sport and everyday life. Plantar fasciitis causes heel pain that is often worst with your first steps in the morning, and tendinopathy can affect the Achilles, knee, hip, shoulder or elbow. Our sports injury rehabilitation service covers all of these.
For most muscle and joint problems, you can see a physiotherapist without a referral. Physiotherapists are trained to spot signs that something needs medical attention and will refer you to your GP when needed.
See your GP first if you feel generally unwell, have lost weight without trying, or have pain with no obvious cause that is steadily getting worse or is worse at night. A doctor is also the right person for questions about medication.
Physiotherapy is not an emergency service. Call the emergency services or go to your nearest emergency department straight away if you have:
Get urgent medical advice the same day, from your GP or an urgent care service, if you have:
The NHS pages on back pain and sprains and strains set out these warning signs in more detail.
If your condition is listed here, or you are not sure what is causing your pain, Tylurs physiotherapists can assess you and explain your options. While you wait, try our exercises for lower back pain or our guide to ice or heat after an injury. When you are ready, book your physiotherapy assessment.
Yes. Working out the likely cause is part of what your physiotherapist does at your first appointment. By asking about your symptoms and testing how you move, they can usually identify where the pain is coming from and what is keeping it going. If anything points to a problem that needs medical tests or a doctor's opinion, they will explain this and help you take the next step.
Many minor strains and bouts of back or neck pain start to ease within a few weeks with sensible self-care. It is worth booking an assessment sooner if the pain is stopping you working, sleeping or exercising, keeps coming back, or is not improving after a couple of weeks. After a significant injury, get checked by a doctor first if a fracture is possible.
Physiotherapy is one of the main non-surgical options for osteoarthritis, which most often affects the knees, hips and hands. Regular, well-chosen exercise can ease pain and stiffness and help you stay active, and the NHS suggests a structured exercise plan with a physiotherapist when symptoms are more severe. Inflammatory arthritis, such as rheumatoid arthritis, also needs care from your GP or rheumatology team.
The twelve conditions on this page are some of the most common problems physiotherapists treat, not a complete list. Physiotherapists treat many other muscle, joint and nerve problems, from jaw pain to wrist injuries. Send us a short description through the booking form and we will tell you honestly whether we can help or whether another professional would be better placed.
Often, yes. Pain that has lasted months or years often involves more than the original injury, such as weakness, stiffness, altered movement habits and a more sensitive nervous system. Treatment focuses on gradually rebuilding strength and confidence, understanding your pain and finding activity levels you can manage. Progress can be slower than with a new injury, but meaningful improvement is often possible.
