Emergency Online Appointment for Acute Back Pain

22 May 2020

Just had my first innovative physio session using Zoom which has jump started my recovery. I had an acute back injury which meant that I couldn’t get out of bed. With Rodger on the line explaining in very clear terms and demonstrating what he needed me to do, he was able to assess and diagnose my injury. From there we went through a number of exercises which has already loosened me up to the extent that I am able to move around.

Thank you Rodger!

Herniated Disc Treatment – Online Treatment May 2020

“Having had an MRI and received a diagnosis just before we went into lockdown, I wasn’t able to access treatment. I reached out to Rodger for virtual advice because there was so much conflicting information on the internet I didn’t know what to do for the best.  The sessions have been really helpful.  Rodger has been excellent at allaying my fears and answering my questions. He has explained the physiology of the problem and been able to pick up on my movements via webcam to identify which exercises to try and adapting where necessary.  He has also recorded videos of the exercises that are easy to follow along at home and has also been at the end of email for any advice if needed.  Whilst in-person sessions might result in a quicker recovery, I would highly recommend trying virtual sessions to equip you with the knowledge you need to manage your condition on your own. Thanks Rodger!” – Claire Bull

“I have seen Rodger for various injuries over many years. His treatment has always had a successful outcome. When isolated many miles away due to C19, I didn’t hesitate to have some virtual consultations with him. My progress in these sessions and with exercises I could do in my own time, was swift.” – Kim Johnson 

ONLINE PHYSIO

“I would highly recommend virtual consultation as an effective way of continuing rehabilitation.  Rodger’s professional and personable style works perfectly through this medium.  He recommended tailored treatment, using screen sharing to view anatomical charts, demonstrating self-massage and exercises, leaving me feeling upbeat and giving me confidence to progress in my recovery from a snapped cruciate ligament.”

Chronic Headache and Migraine Treatment

“I have been suffering with a daily headache or migraine sometimes known as a chronic migraine for over a year now and have suffered generally with migraine’s and headache’s since my twenties.  I have been to see Rodger for a number of sessions as an alternative to taking many different medications.plus most recently I have  been getting a daily headache due to medication overuse! I can honestly say the sessions are really working. I have now started to reduce the medication, I would highly recommend Rodger to anyone in a similar situation.”

My lower back has given me problems for many years, especially when gardening and more recently on short walks which were generating a pain in my groin. Following my GP’s referral to the Practice and four sessions my back and my confidence in it have improved dramatically.

Many many thanks.

Given the Human body is the finest yet most complex machine in the world, Rodger and his team are brilliant at explaining to laymen how and why the machine gets damaged, what the treatment is doing and how the recovery process works.

I recommend them without hesitation to anyone who wants recovery from injury and relief from pain

Unfortunately, in 2010 I had to undergo a further operation to fuse vertebrae and replace discs in my spine. Once I could fly out I had only one place in mind to come to for the rehabilitation. RD Physiotherapy have for the last 10 years made a lasting positive impact on my quality of life and allowed me to live and run my business in the face of adversity.

As a reult of seeing Rodger and the craniosacral therapy she has received, Ava has no doubt been a much happier, calmer and more contented baby. Rodger’s care and ability to put both child and parent at ease is just incredible. We would highly recommend him!!

Training as a dancer is incredibly demanding on your body and it is always an incredible relief to have Rodger’s continued guidance and support. Nothing is too much trouble for him and he is never satisfied until he finds the answer!  He also makes you feel immediately at ease and that you are in a very safe, caring pair of hands.

I have been sending patients with shoulder problems to see Rodger and his team for over a decade now either to help them recover from surgery or, in many cases, so that his rehabilitation skills can avoid the need for an operation and get them back to full pain-free function

Every time I see Rodger I leave feeling better and with my muscles feeling more at ease. As time has gone on the benefits of a session have lasted longer and longer and I have more control over my body and have been far more able to relax muscle groups on my own to stop the build up of pain.

The practice has grown massively from those early days in the 90’s, however Rodger has managed to keep loyal to his core values and employs a team of physio’s who are all exceptionally skilled, likeable and professional. I constantly recommend their services to people far and wide, many of who travel from the suburbs of London to get the best physiotherapy treatment in the South.
