32 years old 72kg in weight. I raced road cycling for 3-4 years at a high amateur level. In the end I had to stop because of this injury. After exercising I feel an extreme tightness when I try to extend my right leg into a fully stretched out position. The tension feels like it is in the area between the hamstring and the vastus medialis. I have seen many specialists, had lots of scans but never found the root cause of the problem. However one time a physio did a very deep tissue ...

I can sleep on my back or my sides and feel perfectly comfortable but if I attempt to lift my lower back, or side even a fraction to shift over then what feels like a muscle spasm right across my lower back comes on unless I quickly back off. It's not something that can be worked through. Sometimes it refers across toward the left hip but that is intermittent.

Storz Medical Shockwave Therapy Device. Bought for my aesthetic clinic about 2.5 yrs ago and realised that it is better suited to physiotherapy. Hasn’t been used for about a year and I’m moving my clinic to smaller premises to have decide to sell it. I would like £2500 for it ovno.

About three years ago I was doing a lot of gym, abs, cycling and running when I started getting a pain in my lower right abdomen and groin area.

This did not seem to help at all so I thought I would do some online research. I have found that the pain is relieved by...

I have a blue 2 section hydraulic treatment table I would like to sell. It was bought in 2019 for £1,150 and has barely been used due to COVID. Willing to sell for a reasonable price at £500. Can send pictures to anyone interested. Free for collection from South West London. [email protected]

Hi everyone! Hope you've been safe and keeping a positive mind frame. Just thought this might be an appropriate forum to reach out to based around a current project of mine... The intention is to create a walking aid for people in later life (or anyone it will benefit for that matter) which will enhance their independence, without the stigma of using an assistive product and doesn’t restrict the user or conform them to a smooth, flat surface. Allowing them greater freedom and...

Hi all, I applied for university to study BSc physiotherapy but was unsuccessful at the interview stage. I set myself up for disappointment by only applying to the uni in my home city. I was wondering if you had any advice in relation to physio apprenticeships or other pathways to becoming a physio as i have been set on physiotherapy since i started my GCSE’s. Thanks!
