I work with patients to find the root cause of the problem. This may be low back or neck pain, muscle or joint pain, or a sports injury. It could be pregnancy-related back or pelvic pain or an injury at work. I aim to treat it quickly and effectively, and then help you understand how to prevent the problem from returning.
Many Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeons refer their patients for immediate post-operative physiotherapy starting the next day after surgery to reduce swelling and commence gentle exercises. I help you understand your problem, so that you can help yourself to restore control of your problem.

Has specialist postgraduate qualifications in Progressive Exercise Therapy; Manipulative & Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy, Intramuscular Stimulation (dry needling) and Injection Therapy.
This will vary between 30, 45 and 60 minutes depending on the area of pain, nature and complexity of the problem. Spinal pain patients I prefer 45 minutes and with complex debilitating low back pain patients I much prefer 60 minutes because so much more is achieved in this session. Sports and joint injuries usually take 30 minutes.
Rehabilitation of musculoskeletal conditions requires an integration of a hands-on approach and exercises that address the movement impairment, supplemented by a home program of specific individual exercises. This will allow you to move without pain and fulfil your potential. Recent trends towards evidence-based practice are of paramount consideration when prescribing exercises to patients.
Having successfully completed a Diploma in Injection Therapy organised by the Association of Chartered Physiotherapists in Orthopaedic Medicine in 2001, James Davis is able to offer effective and asceptic injection techniques to patients. The use of injection therapy in musculoskeletal conditions is a highly effective treatment which is both quick and cost effective.

I was referred to James for what I thought was a simple but debilitating shoulder issue. James quickly diagnosed that the pain was a broader issue relating to my general posture. The treatment started working immediately and I was virtually fully functioning after only 5 visits. I have a menu of exercises given to me by James which will enable me to keep pain free. An excellent physio.

A scan revealed I had 3 disks causing me serious pain and at the end of 2018 I was taking pregabalin and naproxen and only able to walk with crutches. A nerve injection at the start of the year blocked much of the pain so I decided to see James. Six sessions later at the start of April 2019 I have been discharged now that I am running, cycling and finally able to swing a golf club again. I have been equipped with the knowledge and exercises that helped me to recover. Thank you James.

Thank you James - outstanding service! A small accident led to a dislocated shoulder and James helped me to regain full function within 10 weeks through a series of exercises and a thorough examination of my shoulder every week to ensure the recovery was on track. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for the best physio in the area.

I would like to express my thanks for James's help with my knee. Having had a graft on my posterior cruciate ligament on my right knee in February 2018, I was extremely disappointed when in August 2019 i started to experience severe knee pain again. This led me in September 2019 to contact the consultant who had carried out the operation in 2018, as I felt that something had gone wrong with the graft. The consultant wanted to carry out a further arthroscopy on my knee (at my expense) but luckily a friend of mine suggested I contact James to get a second opinion.
James reassured me that the knee

Following 30 years of lower back pain, 2 operations including a discectomy at L4/L5 and numerous chiropractor and physio appointments I found James Davis. James takes an educational approach to treating his patients and having almost given up on finding a reason/cure for my back pain I was wholly receptive. As with most patients I was dismissive to begin with but as James repeated his advice a light slowly switched on. My back is currently 9 out of 10 but more importantly I believe that through James, I now understand the process and chain of events that creates the problem in the first place which

James, I cannot thank you enough.
When I came to you following a prolapse disc in my neck, I was a bag of nerves about my health.
Your reassuring, kind, professional care is something I will never forget.
Your patient explanation of my condition, what had happened, what I could do about it and what the potential outcome could be
… all served to put my mind completely at ease.
You managed to give me the confidence (and the exercise programme) which has resulted in a full recovery.
I love the setting; I love that I can park so easily; I love that you send a text to remind me of my appointment

After many years of suffering with various levels of back pain and seeking medical advice and specialist treatment, I still had no meaningful improvement. So I was thinking that I would have to suffer back pain for the rest of my life.. ......
However, I was recommended by a friend to visit James and how glad I
was!!!
His understanding of my symptoms and the expertise he had in putting together a exercise regime tailored to my needs was nothing short of a revelation.
In Just 10 weeks of focused exercise under the careful guidance and support of James he has transformed my day to day living

I saw James after suffering with Migraines for many years.
He spends a lot of time listening and looking at the patient rather than seeking a quick fix that means you have to keep going back for more treatment. His philosophy is to find the cause of the problem then show the patient how they can correct it themselves. I left with a raft of exercises to do, all photographed on my phone as a reminder and a clear understanding of why my neck was causing me so many problems. I haven't had a migraine since.

I would recommend James to anyone, he basically got me able to walk again after a nasty accident during an ice staking lesson! After months of the NHS being no help at all, I referred myself to James from a recommendation. James was thorough with explaining the problem and the exercises for me to do at home. After 5 sessions I was able to put my crutches down and walk freely. James is a very patient, kind and friendly man who can diagnose a problem within the first 10 minuets of the consultation. He gave me so much reassurance that I would be able to get back to normality as soon as possible. I
