Cutting Edge Treatments

Nesa X Signal

Utilising state-of-the-art microcurrent therapy, NESA® X Signal devices deliver precise electrical impulses that mimic the body’s natural bioelectrical activities. This not only aids in reducing pain and inflammation but also enhances cellular function and promotes tissue repair, which is critical for chronic conditions linked to the autonomic nervous system. NESA® X Signal offers a passive, scientifically proven therapy to help improve sleeping, overactive bladder, stress & anxiety, muscle fatigue, relief of chronic pain, enhancement of overall recovery and improvement of sport performances.

Physiotherapy

This is a science and evidence-based practice, which treats injury and disease by external physical methods of reducing pain and restoring normal body movement and function. Treatment includes lots of different types of prescribed therapeutic exercises and movement techniques, which would be based on clinically testing every condition accurately.

Shockwave Therapy (Focused/Radial)

Shockwave Therapy at GK Physiotherapy offers a fast, evidence-based alternative to surgery for a range of painful and debilitating conditions. Using the latest Radial and Focused Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy technology this non-invasive treatment delivers controlled sonic pulses to promote healing and break down calcific deposits. It is effective in treating conditions such as Plantar Fasciitis, Achilles Tendinopathy, Calcific Shoulder Tendons, Tennis Elbow, and more

Manipulative Physiotherapy

Involves advanced clinical examination and hands-on treatment to restore function, relieve pain, and prevent further deterioration. Also known as manual or neuromusculoskeletal physiotherapy, it targets the spine and peripheral joints using precise joint and soft tissue manipulation techniques. This approach is particularly effective for acute low back, mid-back, and neck pain, as well as a wide range of sports injuries and musculoskeletal conditions.

Exercise

At GK Physiotherapy exercise will be prescribed and used based on comprehensive and accurate examination of the direct and underlying causes of pain and other symptoms. Every exercise will have a reason and it's mechanism will be tested and explained in detail.

Electro Magnetic Transduction Therapy (EMTT)

Electro Magnetic Transduction Therapy (EMTT) is the more advanced technology used here in GK Physiotherapy, which influences the overall recovery of the condition by enhancing the release of growth factor to the area.

The treatment is painless and has no side effects at all. The outcome of reduction of pain often occurs immediately for...

Back problems - Low back pain, trapped nerve, slipped/prolapsed disc, misalignments, and sciatica.
Neck pain - tension, headaches, trapped nerves, migraines, and the effects of stress.
Joint care - Joint pain & stiffness, aches, reduced range of motion, arthritis.
Muscle and ligament sprains and strains.
Sport and movement injuries (all levels).
Recovery from surgery.
Rehabilitation (building up strength, mobility & return to full function).
Posture problems.
Whiplash injuries.

In each case, a fully qualified practitioner will undertake a comprehensive assessment leading to an accurate diagnosis. Following the discussion, an appropriate treatment plan will be agreed upon to effectively manage/resolve your condition. Magnetolith EMTT® (Extracorporeal Magnetotranduction Therapy) uses high-energy magnetic fields for regeneration and rehabilitation at a cellular level. The treatment involved a direct anti-inflammatory response, reducing both pain and inflammation in affected areas of the body. EMTT helps patients with acute pain presentation, irritable flare-ups, neuropathic pain, diffused pain, and degenerative pathologies such as osteoarthritis. EMTT® is highly tolerated, even with the most painful conditions such as rheumatic patients.

Vascular Erectile Dysfunction (ED)

Extracorporeal Focused Shock Wave Therapy has been used for the treatment of vascular erectile dysfunction since 2010. During treatment, low-intensity shock waves are applied to different areas of the penis. This stimulates the creation of new blood vessels in the cavernous bodies and improves blood flow in the penis (and the ability to achieve an erection).

Specific contraindications will always be discussed professionally and listed before applying any of the above treatment methods.

Avoid-OP: Novel Surgery Reassessment and Prevention Care

This professional approach offers a comprehensive re-examination of several medical conditions, that are often failed to be diagnosed and treated by traditional methods. Conservative treatment means treating the condition without the need for corticosteroid injections, invasive diagnostic procedures, or full surgery.

Therefore, if you are:

On the public health (NHS) eating list for surgery
Offered surgery privately as part of an insurance policy benefits
Decided to go for surgery as a professional recommendation of a surgeon
Had your physiotherapy treatment failed
Having too much pain and limitation so surgery seems to be your last result
You are a Professional athlete needing a surgical fix
You are currently an injured amateur athlete/player or an active person

Then I wish to provide you with some background to what surgery means, its risks, and some of its potential consequences, even if your problem can be technically fixed by surgery:

Pain - some nerve damage as a normal result of the operation may alter the function of your nervous system, which can lead to severe and long-term pain, completely unrelated to any physical damage or your recovery process.
Infection - a common risk of medical operation and general stay in hospitals, even in a successful surgery.
Long-term dysfunction and scars - once muscular, neural, bony, or ligament tissue are cut off, they will rarely go back to their original form and properties. So your performance will never be the same as what it was before. Your body can compensate but it will have to work harder to achieve your previous level of performance.
No improvement - the fact you were operated on does not mean your problem will be cured. Many surgeries these days are done since no option can be offered to the patient.
Long-term recovery - the simplest operation takes between six months to achieve initial recovery. Most often it will take more than a year to return to full physical capacity. The time off from family, work, regular hobbies, and housework is often a big burden to most people.
Death - according to the NHS, more than 27,000 patients die annually from elective (planned) procedures. Therefore, if you don’t truly need one then you should not have one!

If by now you’re reconsidering the surgical option, these are a few of the common conditions that are often operated on and can be avoided by re-examination and specific treatment:

Frozen shoulders
Rotator calf injuries or impingement syndrome
Trapped sciatic nerve - Sciatica
Chronic groin surgeries - Gilmoiur’s Groin
Lateral epicondylitis - Tennis Elbow
Prolapsed disk
Knee injuries (tendon, joint, or ligaments)
Achilles Tendinopathy
Plantar fasciitis
Morton’s neuroma of the forefoot

In the last few years, I helped several of my clients avoid or prevent having surgeries for the above conditions. Over time I perfected the methodology which is what Avoid-Opp is today.

Some of them were so grateful for it and I felt that it is time to publish it as part of my services, so I can help more people with their current pain or dysfunction by avoiding the risk of having surgery.

This is how I do it:

I would first apply for a very comprehensive examination, in a way that you did not receive before by a physiotherapist and certainly not by your surgeon. Remember he or she is there to fix you when your physiotherapy treatment has failed to do so. That’s their job and they may still do it very well.

I will then work out a diagnosis of your problem again (structurally and functionally) for re-treating it effectively. I will also identify and actual sources of your pain and its mechanism.

Finally, I will highlight my findings to you and will be able to test them specifically as well as holistically and using advanced treatment methods to test and prove potential results immediately. I will then prescribe and apply the right treatment.

All of it will be explained to you in simple terms, diagrams, and clear demonstrations.

Through the process and during the first session I will start with a questioning interview to track down your current and past medical history regarding the problem you are about to be operated on. I will then apply manual tests for joints, ligaments, muscles,s and nerves as well as stability tests to understand and differentiate between your different symptoms.

I will be using my proven experience in clinical reasoning to localize your problem and its sources precisely, while constantly keeping you in the loop of understanding everything I test or do.

Once the assessment is completed we will both know for sure what are the chances of helping you overcome your condition and avoiding the painful and limiting experience of surgery.

The treatment will be a combination of:

1. Varied manipulating therapies

2. Precise muscular exercises

3. Shockwave (which is science-proven surgery replacing treatment)

4. Rehabilitation and gradual return to your previous function.

Finally, there is nothing for you to lose here and you will be delighted with either preventing your upcoming surgery or knowing that you didn’t do everything possible and that the surgery that you’re about to have is your very last resort.

Do not miss this opportunity to assess and hopefully prevent your source and all risks, pain, and hardship thereafter.
