Services
David Bolwell Physiotherapy Services have extensive experience of dealing with muscle, soft tissue and joint conditions, along with sports injuries and post-surgery rehabilitation. All of our physiotherapists have BSc (Hons) degrees and have undertaken extensive postgraduate training in advanced physiotherapy techniques.
The David Bolwell Physiotherapy Services clinic in Whitchurch is located in the sports and leisure area of the Village Hotel Cardiff. We provide a wide variety of physiotherapy treatments, including sports massage and acupuncture / acupressure. I started going to have acupuncture with David after I was recommended to go and see him by a friend.
It's important to start physiotherapy immediately after surgery, or once a fracture has been 'reduced' (i.e. when the bones are realigned and stabilised). After surgery, or once your fracture has united, our physiotherapy team will devise a programme that's designed to progress your rehabilitation appropriately.
Persistent headaches can also cause anxiety and worry, even impacting one's confidence and self-esteem. If you are experiencing a persistent headache that's not responding to painkillers, you should first see your GP. Cervicogenic / Tension Headaches - Pain is felt on one side of the head (or sometimes both sides), radiating from the back of the skull to just above the eyes.
Ligaments that support a joint becoming sprained due to a rapid movement that takes the joint beyond its normal range of movement (for example, going over on your ankle, or your knee being pushed too far during a tackle). A direct blow (such as a kick) to soft tissue will result in bruising However, depending on the depth of the injured tissue, the discolouration that's normally associated with bruising may not be immediately apparent.

I was recommended to see David by several people. For years I had suffered with lower back and hip pain. After just 4 sessions - 2 of manipulation and 2 of acupuncture, I am now pain free! I only wish I had known about him years,ago! David is a lovely man, chatty and amiable and extremely knowledgeable.I plan to see him again in the New Year to get some help with my knee! I would highly recommend him to anyone. Thank you David

Seldom feel the urge to write a review but I have to share my experience in the hope that others who are suffering will get the same relief that I have. I suffered terribly with a neck issue from training which I'd ignored but deteriorated into a very debilitating state and started causing cervicogenic headaches which really knocked me for six. David provided me with a huge amount of relief from the very first session & now 4 weeks into treatment I can honestly say that I feel like a new man. Headaches have gone and my mobility has returned. The man is a wizard and I cannot recommend him enough

I went to see David for shoulder pain He told me what the problem was and set me on the path to recovery - every week for 4 weeks tweaking my treatments to get me back where I wanted to be. David was fantastic - so knowledgeable and very professional and made sure I understood all the advice and treatment and put me at ease.. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him- he’s the best physio I’ve been to

I saw david following a car accident which left me with neck and shoulder pain causing me lots of migraines and difficulty sleeping. Following the exercises and acupuncture provided I have had a brilliant response and am very grateful. He is very friendly and professional and would recommend to anyone.

I'm a performer and suddenly developed an agonising pain in my lower back following a series of shows, making it impossible to continue performing. David was recommended to me, and I'm so glad he was. After just 2 mins of examining me, he was able to tell me exactly what was wrong and started working on the problem. I knew he was right because the moment he started manipulating the area, I could feel all the nerves that had been playing up. I followed all of his exercise guidance and after just 3 sessions with him, I am feeling utterly pain free again! He is friendly, chatty and professional and

After experiencing pain in my chest for the past few years, with the help of my partner, I realised the pain was actually due to something going on with my spine. I decided the best thing to do was seek professional help and chose David as his practice is local and the reviews were 5 star. I was able to get an appointment quickly and was pleased he identified the problem, giving me plenty of information and guidance along with massage therapy. I would thoroughly recommend him.
