Services

Three stages, one plan

Assessment sets the plan. Hands-on treatment and technology restore the mechanics. Structured rehabilitation makes the change hold.

01

MSK assessment

A 45-minute examination of the spine, joint or soft tissue involved, with a written plan at the end.

The appointment starts with history and examination. We test the movements that provoke your symptoms and record range, strength and pain scores as a baseline.

You leave knowing the working diagnosis, what is driving it, how many sessions the presentation typically takes and what the first stage of treatment involves. Nothing is started before it is explained.

02

Adjustments and manual therapy

Hands-on adjustments, manipulation and soft-tissue treatment, delivered in person.

Treatment is hands-on: adjustments, joint articulation and manipulation, soft-tissue technique and mobilisation, selected against what the assessment found rather than applied as a routine.

Shockwave, TECAR, PEMF and electrotherapy are used alongside manual work where the presentation calls for it — never as a substitute for it.

Structured rehabilitation

A progressive loading programme, written down and reviewed against your baseline measures.

Treatment on the couch restores the mechanics. Rehabilitation is what makes the change hold. Your programme is written, staged and progressed against the measures taken at assessment.

We review at each visit and adjust the load. Where you are returning to sport or to manual work, we test before we clear you.

Technology

The equipment behind the treatment

Hands-on treatment leads. Where the assessment shows it will help, it is combined with shockwave, radiofrequency or magnetic field therapy on dedicated equipment in the treatment room.

The EMS Dolorclast radial shockwave unit at PRC Clinic, with its blue applicator handpiece.

Radial shockwave

Radial shockwave therapy

EMS DOLORCLAST® Radial Shock Waves · Swiss DOLORCLAST® Master

A handpiece delivers pressure waves that spread outward from the skin into the tissue beneath. Pressure, frequency and the number of impulses are set for the area and adjusted to what you can tolerate.

Considered for

Long-standing tendon and soft-tissue problems, such as tennis elbow, Achilles and patellar tendinopathy, and plantar heel pain.

Focused shockwave

Focused shockwave therapy

EMS Swiss PIEZOCLAST®

Piezoelectric shockwaves converge on a focal point at a chosen depth, so the energy reaches deeper or more localised structures with less spread across the surface.

Considered for

Deeper or more localised tendon and insertion problems, including calcific shoulder tendinopathy and plantar fasciitis.

TECAR

Radiofrequency

TECAR therapy

TECAR — capacitive and resistive energy transfer — passes a radiofrequency current between an electrode and a return plate, warming tissue from within. It is used alongside manual therapy and exercise rather than on its own.

Considered for

Muscle and joint stiffness, and soft-tissue work during rehabilitation.

The Angie Magneto pulsed electromagnetic field unit at PRC Clinic, set for the cervical spine.

Magnetic field

Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy

Angie Magneto

A pulsed electromagnetic field — PEMF — is applied through an applicator positioned over the treatment area. Intensity, frequency and session time are set on the unit for the region being treated.

Considered for

Neck and back pain associated with muscle tension, as an adjunct to hands-on treatment.

Equipment is used only where the assessment shows it is appropriate, and always alongside hands-on treatment and rehabilitation — never instead of them. Suitability, including whether a device should not be used for you, is checked before any session.

How it works

Structure before strength

Recovery is built in order: assess the structure, restore the mechanics, then load it. You are told which stage you are in and what ends it.

  1. 01

    Assess

    45 minutes

    History, examination and movement testing. We record range, strength and pain so there is a baseline to measure against. You are told what we found and what it means.

  2. 02

    Treat

    Per session

    Hands-on adjustments, manipulation and soft-tissue work, combined with shockwave, TECAR, PEMF or electrotherapy where the presentation calls for it.

  3. 03

    Rehabilitate

    Between sessions

    A structured programme that loads the area progressively. Written down, reviewed at each visit and adjusted against the measures taken at assessment.

  4. 04

    Discharge

    When measures hold

    We review the baseline. When range, strength and function hold under load, treatment ends and you keep the programme. We tell you what to watch for.

Presentations

What we treat

  • 01

    Chronic back and neck pain

    Long-standing, recurring or unexplained spinal pain. We examine the movement that provokes it, then treat the structures driving it.

  • 02

    Post-injury and post-operative rehab

    A staged return to function after surgery or trauma, loaded in the order the tissue tolerates rather than to a fixed calendar.

  • 03

    Sport and overuse injury

    Load management and return-to-sport testing. We measure before we clear you, and the measures are written down.

  • 04

    Occupational strain

    Desk-based, manual and repetitive-load work. Treatment addresses the posture and the task, not the symptom alone.
