Scoliosis update
Today I worked on her left hip outflare
The hip external rotators and lateral hamstrings were very overactive and short so I worked on these with connective tissue massage using the Cycloidal hand unit then lengthened them with PNF stretching techniques
This is a work in progress but the lady is feeling so much better

This young man attended the clinic as his parents were concerned by his lack of balance and poor coordination
On assessment he had very flat feet and a slight pelvic rotation and up slip on the left causing altered hip alignment which was causing poor proprioception from the feet upwards causing him to have poor co ordination
He has had 4 treatments addressing the soft tissue imbalances and joint restrictions and has been given temporary small rear foot medial posting to help with his rear foot stability
He now has improved core and balance and his parents report he is a lot less clumsy !
Treatment is ongoing to achieve foot neutral and then he will have a full rehabilitation programme

Arron Kelly has been with us since April 2024 and has become
A key member of our team .
He has been trained by the owner Janine Midgley so adopts the same logical clinically reasoned approach which incorporates hands on joint mobilisations connective tissue release muscle lengthening / strengthening and the ultimate goal of optimising the body’s position to as near neutral as possible to restore normal function and decrease abnormal stresses caused by poor alignment
So if you you have a reoccurring sports injury that hasn’t responded to rehabilitation alone then maybe this approach is what you need
We don’t just blow the tyres up ! We fix the puncture re align the wheels reset the tracking then pump the tyres up !!

Scoliosis
This lady came for assessment two weeks ago complaining of right rib pain which was waking her up at night
Following a full musculoskeletal assessment I devised a treatment plan to address the spinal curvature with hands on
manual therapy , soft tissue release muscle lengthening/ strengthening
The top picture is her presentation on assessment and the bottom picture is after two 30 minute treatment sessions
She is now more upright and her curvature is less pronounced
She reported after her first treatment that her rib pain had gone and she was able to sleep uninterrupted !
I will keep you updated as to her future progress

Thankyou so much for that recommendation
Our full logical 3D approach of addressing the joints , neuromuscular and myofascial systems with hands on treatment provides a clinically reasoned treatment plan which is made to tailor each patients individual goals

Just needed to say what a miracle worker Janine Midgley is of The West Yorkshire Physiotherapy Centre - as many of my clients and friends know since my fall in Oct I’ve been struggling with my shoulder and this is initially why I saw Janine , she was incredibly thorough with her assessment -highlighting my very wonky pelvis ( probably made worse by my fall ) as well as knowing exactly what was wrong with my shoulder - after Janine fixed my shoulder in my first session she then set to on my wonky pelvis on Friday …. I couldn’t wait to ride Jacob this morning, as I had been feeling restrictions through my left side of my back and I kept slipping to the right … I can safely say I’ve never felt straighter , I can now feel my left seat bone , don’t slip to the right and had 2 perfect flying changes ( never been done before ) - so I cannot recommend Janine enough and will certainly be sending some clients her way 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Temperomandibular mandibular joints (TMJ)
TMj issues can cause pain when yawning uncomfortable clicking / locking when eating and general discomfort around the jaw .
The cause of this problem can be traumatic following dental surgery where the joint gets overstretched under sedation during a procedure or multifaceted .
The picture below shows a patient who presented with TMJ pain along with headaches neck pain and some low back pain . A night splint provided by his dentist did not help . These symptoms came on gradually but he does remember spraining his ankle years before .
A full bio mechanical assessment found a forward rotation of his pelvis on the right with a compensatory backward rotation of the left hip and rib cage on the left resulting in the subtle backward rotation of his neck .if you look closely at the photo you can see the resultant muscle tightness in his neck ,which in turn was causing abnormal stresses on the TMJ.
All the above imbalances were addressed with a combination of connective tissue release , joint mobilisations Muscle stretching and a series of strengthening and stretching exercises to restore and maintain normal alignment the patient was advised to wear his mouth splint at night to prevent him grinding his teeth and overworking the jaw muscles during the treatment process however once discharged no longer needed it .
If you found this of interest please share and if you would like an appointment please call 01274693591
