Receptionist Vicky is feeling very lucky to receive such care and support from her lovely colleagues here at the clinic, following a soft tissue injury to her right foot last week. She describes the treatment she received following a tumble down the stairs at home, precipitated by her beloved cat Tommy!
SOT Chiropractor Dr. Ian Nothling bandaged my foot within an hour of the accident to support the foot and ankle and contain the onset of swelling and advised me to follow the R.I.C.E. protocol to expedite the recovery process: Rest Ice Compression Elevation
Physiokey Therapist Kim Aminu administered pain relief therapy within 24 hours which diminished the discomfort considerably and brought out the bruising early on to accelerate the recovery process.

Soft Tissue Therapist Jake Brougham administered Kinesio-taping after a few days, a rehabilitative technique which dramatically helped reduce the swelling. Jake also gave me advice on some gentle exercises to mobilise my foot. After a week Jake then re-taped my foot to give support and stability to aid ongoing recovery.
McTimoney Chiropractor Rebecca Taylor gave me a full-body treatment working from my neck, down through the spine, checking hips, knees and ankles, making the necessary adjustments to ensure that the healing process progressed unhindered, by bringing my musco-skeletal system into alignment.
I am happy to report that one week on, I am still limping slightly, but the discomfort is minimal. Huge thanks to the lovely therapists here at the clinic who have treated me, by helping my body optimise the repair and healing process.”
