Most people arrive at this question already assuming an operation is coming, and searching mainly to find out how long they can put it off. - [Anterior Knee Pain: Causes and Treatment](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/anterior-knee-pain-causes-treatment): Anterior knee pain is the clinical term for pain at the front of the knee, in, around or just below the kneecap. If a clinician has used the phrase with you, or you have found it while searching, it describes a location rather than a diagnosis. Several different structures live at the front of the knee, and each produces its own version of the pain. - [Neck Pain at Night: When It Is Your Pillow and When It Is Not](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/neck-pain-at-night-physio-assessment): Most advice about neck pain at night is about pillows. Sometimes it should be. A pillow that holds your neck at an angle for seven hours will make itself known by morning, and fixing that fixes the problem. - [Grip Strength Weakness: What It Actually Means](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/grip-strength-weakness-what-it-means): Jars that will not open. A mug that slips. Shopping bags you have to keep swapping hands with. A grip that gives out halfway through a task it used to manage easily. - [Trigger Finger Symptoms and a Self-Test You Can Do Now](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/trigger-finger-symptoms-and-self-test): A finger that clicks when you bend it. A finger that catches halfway and then snaps through. A finger that wakes up locked in a bent position and needs your other hand to prise it straight. If any of that sounds familiar, you almost certainly have trigger finger, and it is more mechanical than it feels. - [Dupuytren’s Contracture: The Early Signs](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/dupuytrens-contracture-early-signs): That progression is Dupuytren's contracture, and it is worth recognising early for one reason: the pathway for it is different from almost every other hand condition. This is not a tendon problem you can strengthen your way out of, and stretching does not reverse it. This guide covers the early signs, a simple check you can do at home, what it is commonly confused with, and the honest treatment route including where physiotherapy does and does not help. - [Pinky-Side Wrist Pain: Is It a TFCC Injury?](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/tfcc-injury-wrist-pain-pinky-side): The practical takeaway: pinky-side wrist pain is an area, not a diagnosis. Assessment narrows it by testing each structure, which is what separates a plan that works from one that treats the popular answer. - [Waking Up With Numb Hands at Night: What It Means](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/waking-up-with-numb-hands-at-night): You wake at 3am with a hand that feels dead. You shake it out over the edge of the bed, the pins and needles flood back, and after a minute or two it settles enough to get back to sleep. Then it happens again the next night. - [How Long Does Tennis Elbow Take to Heal?](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/how-long-does-tennis-elbow-take-to-heal): Search this question and you get a number that stops people in their tracks: six to twelve months. Sometimes eighteen. It sounds like a sentence, and it sends a lot of people looking for a shortcut that does not exist. - [De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis: Symptoms and a Self-Test You Can Do Now](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/de-quervains-tenosynovitis-symptoms-and-self-test): Pain on the thumb side of your wrist that flares when you lift a kettle, pick up your baby, or scroll your phone has a name, and it is one of the most recognisable problems in the hand. It is called De Quervain's tenosynovitis, and it is an irritation of the two tendons that run from your thumb into your wrist. - [Foot Pain in the Morning: Why the First Steps Hurt](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/foot-pain-in-the-morning-first-steps): You swing your legs out of bed, put weight through your foot, and the first few steps are sharp enough to make you wince. By the time you have reached the kitchen it has eased off. By mid-morning you have almost forgotten about it, until you stand up after sitting at your desk and it happens again. - [Cubital Tunnel Syndrome Symptoms: When the Funny Bone Feeling Will Not Go Away](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/cubital-tunnel-syndrome-symptoms): Cubital tunnel syndrome is what happens when that same nerve is compressed not for thirty seconds but for hours at a time, day after day. The symptoms are recognisably related: tingling and numbness in the same two fingers, aching on the inside of the elbow.  - [Ball of Foot Pain: Metatarsalgia or Morton’s Neuroma?](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/ball-of-foot-pain-metatarsalgia-or-mortons-neuroma): They are not. One is a loading problem in the joints and soft tissue under the forefoot. The other is an irritated nerve being squeezed between the bones. The pain each produces feels genuinely different, and that difference is the fastest way to tell which you have. How ball-of-foot pain sits within the wider picture of foot pain is covered in our main guide. - [Shin Splints or Stress Fracture? How to Tell the Difference](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/shin-splints-or-stress-fracture): Shin pain sends a lot of runners to the same fork in the road: is this shin splints, which I can work through, or a stress fracture, which I absolutely cannot? The two get blurred together online, and getting it wrong in one direction is far more costly than the other. Run through shin splints and you have a longer recovery. Run through a stress fracture and you risk turning a hairline crack into a full break. - [Private Physiotherapy With a Pre-Existing Foot or Ankle Condition](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/private-physiotherapy-pre-existing-foot-ankle-condition): The short answer is reassuring. A pre-existing foot or ankle condition almost never blocks you from private physiotherapy. What it sometimes affects is whether your insurance will fund it, and even then there is a clear, simple route that sidesteps the problem entirely. This guide explains how insurance treats a foot or ankle history, what the rules actually mean in practice, and why self-paying is often the cleanest way in. - [Foot and Ankle Pain in Older Adults: When Physiotherapy Helps](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/foot-and-ankle-pain-in-older-adults-when-physiotherapy-helps): Foot and ankle pain is common after 60, and it is too often written off as just getting older. Some of it is age-related change, but very little of it is untreatable, and almost none of it is a reason to move less. That last point matters more than it sounds, because in older adults, moving less is where the real trouble starts. - [ITBS or Hip Pain? How to Tell Lateral Hip Pain Apart](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/itbs-or-hip-pain-differential): Pain on the outside of the hip sends a lot of runners looking for the same answer: is this my IT band, or is it the hip itself? The two get confused constantly, because they sit close together and both flare with running. They are not the same problem, and they are not treated the same way. - [Hip Pain When Running: What the Pattern Tells You](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/hip-pain-when-running): Hip pain when running is common, and it is rarely a mystery once you look at it properly. The useful question is not just "why does my hip hurt" but "where does it hurt, and when in the run does it start? - [The Cost of Private Hip Pain Physiotherapy in London](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/cost-of-private-hip-pain-physiotherapy-london): Private hip physiotherapy in London usually costs somewhere between an assessment fee and a set of follow-up sessions, and the honest answer to "how much will it cost me" is: it depends on how many sessions your hip actually needs. That number is knowable, and this guide sets out what drives it. - [Flat Feet and Foot Pain: Do Fallen Arches Actually Cause It?](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/flat-feet-and-foot-pain): Flat feet are common, and most of them never hurt. Around one in four adults has a low or flat arch, and the majority walk, run and work on them without a problem. When foot pain does arrive, the arch usually gets the blame, and the internet is ready with an insole to sell you. - [Rotator Cuff Tear Vs Strain: How To Tell The Difference](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/rotator-cuff-tear-vs-strain): Imaging studies of adults with no shoulder pain routinely find rotator cuff tears, and the proportion climbs steadily with age, to the point where a tear on the scan of an older shoulder is closer to expected than alarming.  - [Cervical Radiculopathy Symptoms: What A Trapped Nerve In The Neck Feels Like](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/cervical-radiculopathy-symptoms): Cervical radiculopathy is neck trouble the arm reports. A nerve root is irritated where it leaves the neck, usually by a disc or a narrowed exit, and the symptoms run the nerve's territory: pain, tingling, or numbness travelling from the neck across the shoulder blade and down one arm, sometimes into specific fingers.  - [Frozen Shoulder Stages Explained: Freezing, Frozen, Thawing](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/frozen-shoulder-stages-explained): Frozen shoulder is the only common shoulder problem that follows a script. Three stages, in order, every time: a painful freezing stage where movement gradually locks away, a frozen stage where pain eases but stiffness rules, and a thawing stage where movement slowly returns. Knowing the script changes how the whole condition feels, because the frightening part, a shoulder losing movement week by week, is a stage with an ending rather than a decline without one.  - [Hip Clicking And Popping: What It Means And When To Worry](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/hip-clicking-and-popping-what-it-means): A clicking hip is usually a noisy hip, not a damaged one. Tendons flick over bony points, joint surfaces shift pressure, and the hip produces clicks, pops, and snaps the way knuckles do, loudly and harmlessly. One rule does nearly all the sorting: painless clicking is mechanics, painful clicking is information. A click with no pain, no catching, and no giving way needs no treatment, however dramatic the sound.  - [Hip Pain When Walking: What It Means And When To Act](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/hip-pain-when-walking): Walking is a test you run on your hip every day, and the results arrive in timing. A hip that hurts for the first minutes and then eases tells one story. A hip that starts quiet and builds with every street tells another. A side-of-hip ache that appears only on longer walks tells a third.  - [Hip Flexor Strain Or Hip Pain? How To Tell What You Actually Have](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/hip-flexor-strain-vs-hip-pain): Hip flexor strains happen in a moment of high effort: accelerating into a sprint, striking a ball, a lunge under load, a slip caught late. The muscle overloads, fibres tear, and the front of the hip knows immediately. From there the pattern is consistent. Pain on driving the knee upward, running uphill, kicking, and the push-off phase of stride.  - [Physiotherapy Not Working? The Honest Guide To Second Opinions](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/second-opinion-physiotherapy): Physiotherapy that is not working has four possible explanations, and only one of them means changing clinician. Recovery might be running normally and slowly, misread as failure. The plan might need changing while the clinician stays. The clinician might need changing. Or physiotherapy might have been the wrong tool for this problem, and the honest next step is a different door entirely.  - [Physiotherapy Red Flags And Onward Referral: The Safety System Explained](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/physiotherapy-red-flags-onward-referral): Every first physiotherapy appointment contains a few strange questions. You arrive with a sore back, and the physiotherapist asks about weight loss, night sweats, fevers, and whether your bladder is behaving. The questions feel oddly medical for a muscle problem, and they are the most important minutes of the session. Red flags are the small set of signs suggesting pain has a cause beyond muscles and joints, and screening for them is built into every assessment a regulated physiotherapist runs.  - [Online Vs In-Person Physiotherapy: An Honest Comparison](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/online-vs-in-person-physiotherapy): Online physiotherapy works better than sceptics expect and has firmer limits than its marketing admits. Both halves of that sentence are true, and most comparisons only tell you one. The evidence first: clinical trials comparing video-delivered physiotherapy against clinic care have found remote treatment performs comparably for many common musculoskeletal problems, because the parts of physiotherapy that drive recovery, assessment reasoning, exercise progression, and education, travel over video largely intact. - [Ankle Keeps Giving Way? What Ankle Instability Really Means](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/ankle-keeps-giving-way-instability): An ankle that keeps giving way is usually a sensor problem, not a loose joint. The ankle rolls on a kerb, wobbles on grass, or buckles on a stair edge, and the assumption is stretched ligaments that never tightened up. The truth in most cases is stranger and more fixable.  - [Plantar Fasciitis Or Something Else? Sorting Heel Pain Properly](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/plantar-fasciitis-vs-other-heel-pain): Heel pain has one famous name and several quieter causes, and the famous name absorbs them all. Plantar fasciitis is common enough that under-heel pain arrives at clinics pre-diagnosed, and a meaningful share of those heels turn out to be something else: a worn fat pad, an irritated nerve, or occasionally a bone problem.  - [Achilles Pain Vs Rupture: The Warning Signs That Matter](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/achilles-pain-vs-rupture-warning-signs): An achilles rupture usually announces itself in a single moment. A snap or pop at the back of the ankle, often loud enough to hear, with a sensation people describe the same way again and again: being kicked or struck from behind, turning to find nobody there. Achilles tendinopathy is the opposite story, a gradual ache that builds over weeks.  - [Numbness And Tingling In Fingers: What It Means](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/numbness-and-tingling-in-fingers-what-it-means): Fingers go numb along maps, not at random. Three nerves share the hand, each owns its own territory, and a squeezed nerve switches off exactly the fingers it serves. So the pattern of numbness is a message: thumb-side numbness names one nerve and one squeeze point at the wrist, little-finger numbness names another at the elbow, and patterns running down the arm in a line point up to the neck.  - [Golfer’s Elbow Symptoms And A Self-Test You Can Do At Home](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/golfers-elbow-symptoms-and-self-test): Golfer's elbow is tennis elbow's inner-side twin, and the rarer, more misread of the pair. The pain sits on the bony point on the inside of the elbow, and the mechanism mirrors its twin exactly: the muscles that curl your wrist and squeeze your grip anchor at that inner point, so lifting palm-up, carrying bags, pull-ups, and hard gripping all pull on the sore spot.  - [Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Symptoms And A Self-Test You Can Do At Home](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/carpal-tunnel-syndrome-symptoms-and-self-test): Carpal tunnel syndrome announces itself at night. Numb, tingling hands that wake you, and a strange fix everyone discovers on their own: shake the hand and the feeling comes back. That shake-it-out habit is so characteristic that clinicians treat it as a sign in its own right. The second signature is a map. Carpal tunnel numbness has a boundary: thumb, index finger, middle finger, and half the ring finger.  - [Tennis Elbow Symptoms And A Self-Test You Can Do At Home](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/tennis-elbow-symptoms-and-self-test): Tennis elbow rarely comes from tennis. Most cases belong to desk workers, DIYers, new gym-goers, and anyone whose hands started gripping more than usual. The name describes one famous trigger, not the condition. The condition itself is a tendon problem on the outside of the elbow, and it has a strange-sounding signature that makes complete sense once explained: the pain lives at the elbow, but the hand sets it off.  - [Tennis Elbow Vs Golfer’s Elbow: Which One Do You Have?](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/tennis-elbow-vs-golfers-elbow): One elbow, two famous names, and a single rule sorts them: the side. Pain on the bony point on the outside of the elbow is tennis elbow. Pain on the bony point on the inside is golfer's elbow. The rule works because the elbow's anatomy mirrors itself.  - [How To Find A Private Physio For Elbow Pain](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/how-to-find-private-physio-for-elbow-pain): Finding the right private physiotherapist for elbow pain takes one checklist and ten minutes. Elbow pain draws a specific crowd of practitioners: physiotherapists, sports therapists, and sports massage clinics all market to the same audience, tennis players, golfers, and gym-goers with a sore elbow.  - [Typing And Desk Work Wrist And Hand Pain](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/typing-and-desk-work-wrist-hand-pain): Desk-related wrist and hand pain typically builds over weeks, which is exactly why it gets missed early. - [Private Physiotherapy With A Pre-Existing Elbow, Wrist, Or Hand Condition](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/private-physiotherapy-pre-existing-arm-condition): An old elbow, wrist, or hand problem does not have to shut the door on private physiotherapy. Many people assume a previous injury or diagnosis in the same area rules out insurance cover entirely, and that is not usually how it works.  - [What Is RSI? Repetitive Strain Explained](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/repetitive-strain-injury-explained): RSI gets used as a catch-all term, and that is exactly the problem with it. Repetitive strain injury describes how a problem developed, load repeated faster than the tissue can recover, not what the problem actually is.  - [Elbow, Wrist Or Hand Pain At Night: What It Means](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/elbow-wrist-hand-pain-at-night): Arm pain gets louder at night. An elbow, wrist, or hand that felt manageable through a busy day can ache more once you are still, and that pattern is common enough to be worth explaining properly rather than worrying over. Night is not when the problem started. It is when distraction stops and the day's load finally gets noticed.  - [When To See A Physio For Hand Pain](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/when-to-see-a-physio-for-hand-pain): Most hand and finger pain settles with a short spell of rest and sensible activity change. Some does not, and with the hand, function is usually a clearer signal than pain alone. Three signals decide when to book: how long it has lasted, how much it affects what you can actually do, and how often it returns.  - [When To See A Physio For Wrist Pain](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/when-to-see-a-physio-for-wrist-pain): Most wrist pain settles within a couple of weeks with sensible activity change. Two situations skip that timeline entirely. Numbness or tingling in the fingers, and a wrist injured in a fall, both deserve a prompter look than ordinary wrist ache.  - [When To See A Physio For Elbow Pain](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/when-to-see-a-physio-for-elbow-pain): Most elbow pain settles with a few days of rest and sensible activity change. Some does not, and elbow tendon problems in particular are notoriously slow to resolve on their own. Three signals decide when it is time to book: how long the pain has lasted, how much it limits grip and everyday tasks, and how often it keeps returning.  - [How To Find A Private Physio For Hand Pain](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/how-to-find-private-physio-for-hand-pain): Finding the right private physiotherapist for hand pain takes one checklist and ten minutes. Hand problems often get talked out of an assessment before they start, because stiff fingers or an aching palm get quietly filed under getting older rather than something worth booking for. Many hand and finger conditions respond well to assessment and treatment at any age.  - [How To Find A Private Physio For Wrist Pain](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/how-to-find-private-physio-for-wrist-pain): Finding the right private physiotherapist for wrist pain takes one checklist and ten minutes. Wrist pain sits in a slightly unusual corner of the market, because the wrist and hand are also treated by hand therapists, a group that often overlaps with occupational therapy rather than physiotherapy.  - [Shoulder Pain At Night: What Your Pattern Says](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/shoulder-pain-at-night-physio-assessment): Night is the shoulder's loudest hour. Problems that stay manageable through a busy day wake people at 2am, and the pattern of that waking carries real information. Pain only when lying on that side tells one story. A deep ache that ignores every position tells another.  - [Private Physiotherapy With A Pre-Existing Neck Condition](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/private-physiotherapy-pre-existing-neck-condition): A flare-up of a pre-existing neck condition typically falls under your policy's exclusion, while a genuinely new problem typically does not. Moratorium policies can restore coverage after a symptom-free period on their exact terms. Your claims line confirms your specific position, in writing, before you book. - [When To See A Physio For Shoulder Pain](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/when-to-see-a-physio-for-shoulder-pain): Early assessment breaks the loop: it names the source, restores confidence in using the arm, and stages the rebuild. Which clinician to book, and the traps to avoid on the way, are covered in our guide to how to find a private physio for shoulder pain.  - [Knee Keeps Giving Way: What Instability Really Means](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/knee-instability-giving-way): A knee that gives way is frightening, and the fear usually runs ahead of the facts. Giving way comes in two distinct types, and they mean very different things. True instability, where the joint itself shifts because a ligament no longer holds it, usually traces back to a proper injury.  - [Knee Pain Going Up Stairs: What It Means](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/knee-pain-going-upstairs): Going up stairs is a powered move. Each step asks one leg to drive your whole body upward, and that drive runs through the front of the knee. So when climbing hurts, the direction is a clue in itself.  - [Meniscus Tear Symptoms And The Home Checks Worth Doing](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/meniscus-tear-symptoms-and-self-test): A torn meniscus tells its story through location and history as much as pain. Pain along the joint line, the horizontal seam where the thigh and shin bones meet. A twist or pivot that started it. Swelling that arrived the next day rather than within the hour.  - [Piriformis Syndrome Or Hip Pain? How To Tell The Difference](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/piriformis-syndrome-or-hip-pain): Deep buttock pain has three main stories, and they get confused constantly. The piriformis pattern, where a deep buttock muscle is the sore spot. The hip joint, which refers pain into the buttocks more than people expect. And nerve-related pain travelling down the leg, which is a different condition entirely.  - [Hip Pain When Climbing Stairs: What It Means](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/hip-pain-when-climbing-stairs): Climbing stairs asks two hard things of the hip at once. Deep bending as the knee lifts, then a single-leg push as you rise. Different hip problems fail at different points in that sequence, which makes stairs a useful diagnostic test you run every day.  - [Physiotherapy Home Exercise Programme: Why It Matters More Than The Sessions](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/physiotherapy-home-exercise-programme): Physiotherapy results are made between appointments. The session sets the direction. The home programme does the building, because tissue changes through repetition, and repetition happens across the week, not in a thirty-minute visit.  - [Hip Labral Tear Signs: How To Recognise The Pattern](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/hip-labral-tear-signs): A hip labral tear announces itself mechanically. Deep groin pain you can almost point to with one finger, a catching or clicking sensation inside the joint, and pain on twisting or pivoting on the leg. The labrum is the cartilage rim that seals the hip socket, and when it tears, the hip starts producing sensations as well as pain.  - [What Do Physiotherapists Treat?](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/what-do-physiotherapists-treat): Physiotherapists treat problems of movement, muscles, joints, and recovery. The territory is wider than most people expect. It runs from a strained back to rehabilitation after surgery, from sports injuries to the aches of desk work, from a sprained ankle to keeping an older adult steady on their feet.  - [How To Choose A Physiotherapist In London](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/how-to-choose-physiotherapist-london): Choosing a physiotherapist in London is a three-part decision. Verify the credentials, match the specialism to your problem, then let the practical factors decide between the qualified options.  - [Sprained Ankle Or Broken Ankle: How To Tell The Difference](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/sprained-ankle-or-fracture): A sprain and a fracture can look identical in the first hours. Both swell, both bruise, both hurt to walk on. Clinicians separate them with a short screen so reliable it decides who gets an X-ray, and it translates well into plain language. Two things are checked: where exactly it hurts, and whether you can take four steps. We set out that screen first.  - [Sprained Ankle Grades Explained](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/sprained-ankle-grades-explained): And one check comes before all of this: an ankle that cannot take four steps, or hurts directly on the bone, needs urgent assessment for fracture first, a decision covered fully in our sprain-or-fracture guide coming next in this series. The early management steps are the same across grades at first, covered in our guide to the first 72 hours after a sprained ankle. - [When To See A Physio For Neck Pain](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/when-to-see-a-physio-for-neck-pain): Most neck pain settles on its own within days. Some does not, and one type needs urgent attention regardless of how long it has lasted. Three everyday signals decide when routine neck pain is worth an assessment: how long it has lasted, how much it limits you, and how often it returns. One extra category overrides all three. - [How Long Does A Sprained Ankle Take To Heal?](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/how-long-does-a-sprained-ankle-take-to-heal): Sprained ankle recovery runs from a couple of weeks to a few months. The spread is wide because severity decides most of it. A mild stretch settles fast. A significant tear takes months to rebuild. The date matters less than the milestones, because an ankle is recovered when it works, not when it stops hurting.  - [How To Find A Private Physio For Shoulder Pain](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/how-to-find-private-physio-for-shoulder-pain): Finding the right private physiotherapist for shoulder pain takes one checklist and ten minutes. Shoulder pain attracts a crowded market: physiotherapists, sports therapists, injection clinics, and massage services all advertise for it. One of those titles is protected in law. The rest vary. Verification beats guesswork, so we put the checklist first and the reasoning after it.  - [How To Find A Private Physio For Neck Pain](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/how-to-find-private-physio-for-neck-pain): Finding the right private physiotherapist for neck pain takes one checklist and ten minutes. Neck pain draws a crowded field: physiotherapists, osteopaths, chiropractors, and massage therapists all advertise for it. One of those titles is protected in law and tightly regulated. The others vary.  - [Knee Swelling: When To Worry And When To Wait](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/knee-swelling-when-to-worry): Note. Some swollen knees need urgent medical care rather than physiotherapy. Go to urgent care or A&E for a knee that swells rapidly within an hour of injury, a knee you cannot bear weight through, a hot red swollen knee with fever, or a knee that locks and will not straighten. Seek same-day medical review for calf swelling and tenderness alongside knee swelling, since this can signal a clot. Physiotherapists screen for these at first assessment and refer onward the same day when they appear. Contact NHS 111 when unsure. - [Kneecap Pain (Patellofemoral) Symptoms And A Self-Test You Can Do At Home](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/kneecap-pain-patellofemoral-symptoms-and-self-test): Kneecap pain has a cluster of tells that give it away. Pain at the front of the knee, worse going down stairs, worse after long sitting, and worse squatting or kneeling. Doctors call it patellofemoral pain, from the joint between the kneecap and the thigh bone behind it. Runners call it runner's knee.  - [Groin Pain That Comes From The Hip](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/groin-pain-that-comes-from-the-hip): Groin pain is often the hip talking. People assume a groin strain or worry about a hernia, and miss that the hip joint itself refers pain straight into the groin. It is one of the most common ways hip problems show up, and one of the most misread. The distinction matters, because hip-driven groin pain and a pulled muscle need completely different plans.  - [Knee Pain Going Down Stairs: What It Means](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/knee-pain-going-down-stairs): Pain going down stairs, but not up, is one of the most specific signals in knee pain. It points, more often than not, to the kneecap joint at the front of the knee. Descending loads that joint far harder than climbing does, so the stairs become a daily test that the knee keeps failing. The pattern is common, treatable, and frequently misread as general wear.  - [Early Hip Osteoarthritis: Warning Signs Worth Catching](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/hip-osteoarthritis-early-warning-signs): We answer the early hip osteoarthritis questions patients ask most. - [Hip Impingement (FAI) Symptoms And A Self-Test You Can Do At Home](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/hip-impingement-fai-symptoms-and-self-test): Hip impingement has a signature move that gives it away: a deep pinch in the front of the hip when you bend it fully. Sit in a low chair, pull your knee toward your chest, or crouch, and a sharp catch or ache appears at the front or deep in the groin.  - [Physiotherapy Treatment Methods Explained](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/physiotherapy-treatment-methods-explained): Physiotherapy uses several treatment methods, and they are not equal. The strongest evidence backs the active ones: exercise and education. Hands-on manual therapy supports them. Machines and electrotherapy sit further down as occasional add-ons, not the main event.  - [How Do Physiotherapists Diagnose?](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/how-physiotherapists-diagnose): Physiotherapists diagnose by testing how you move, not by scanning what you are made of. That surprises people who expect an X-ray or MRI to lead the way. For most musculoskeletal problems, movement tells a clearer story than a picture, and UK guidance actively discourages routine scans.  - [Corporate Physiotherapy London: A Guide For Employers](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/corporate-physiotherapy-london): Musculoskeletal problems are the workplace health issue employers feel most and plan for least. Back, neck, and shoulder complaints drive a large share of sickness absence, and most of it is treatable early. Corporate physiotherapy puts that treatment inside the working week, before a niggle becomes a sick note.  - [How Long Does Plantar Fasciitis Last?](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/how-long-does-plantar-fasciitis-last): Plantar fasciitis is slow, and honesty about that saves frustration. Most cases settle within months, not weeks, and the range is wide because the timeline depends on what you do about it. Caught early and managed well, it can resolve in a few months. Left alone or repeatedly re-aggravated, it can drag on far longer.  - [When To See A Physio For Foot Pain](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/when-to-see-a-physio-for-foot-pain): Most foot pain settles on its own. Some does not, and knowing which is which saves weeks. Three signals decide it: how long the pain has lasted, how much it limits you, and how often it keeps returning. Any one of them crossing its threshold means it is time to book. - [When To See A Physio For Ankle Pain](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/when-to-see-a-physio-for-ankle-pain): Ankle pain has one trap the rest of the body does not. It stops hurting before it finishes healing, and that gap is what turns one sprain into many. So the timing rule for ankles leans harder on a single question: is it coming back?  - [How To Find A Private Physio For Ankle Pain](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/how-to-find-private-physio-for-ankle-pain): Choosing a private physiotherapist for ankle pain starts with one legal fact: physiotherapist is a protected title, and sports therapist is not. Ankle problems attract both, plus massage clinics and brace retailers, and the search results blend them into one confusing list. Verification separates them in minutes. - [Foot Pain At Night: What Your Pattern Says And When To Act](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/foot-pain-at-night-physio-assessment): Night foot pain follows recognisable patterns, and the pattern decides the right door. An aching heel after a long day on your feet points one way. Burning across both feet points another. A single hot, red joint points somewhere else entirely. Matching your night symptoms to their likely source is the fastest route to the right care, so we put the pattern matcher first and the explanations after it. - [Sprained Ankle: What To Do In The First 72 Hours](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/sprained-ankle-first-72-hours): Sprains that never get assessed are the ones that reappear as chronic instability. A single early assessment stages the recovery properly. Our sprained ankle team in London sees fresh injuries within days through direct access, no referral needed. - [Plantar Fasciitis Symptoms And A Self-Test You Can Do At Home](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/plantar-fasciitis-symptoms-and-self-test): Plantar fasciitis announces itself with one signature: sharp heel pain on the first steps after rest. The pattern is recognisable enough that four simple home tests, run in ten minutes, tell most people whether their heel pain fits it. The tests classify; they do not diagnose, and we are precise about that line throughout. Recognition first, tests second, honest limits third. - [Achilles Tendinopathy Symptoms And A Self-Test You Can Do At Home](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/achilles-tendinopathy-symptoms-and-self-test): Achilles problems follow a load pattern, and the pattern is the diagnosis's biggest clue. Stiffness in the tendon on waking that eases as you move. Pain at the start of a run that warms up mid-session, then returns louder afterwards. - [How To Find A Private Physio For Foot Pain](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/how-to-find-private-physio-for-foot-pain): Finding the right private physiotherapist for foot pain takes one checklist and ten minutes. Foot pain sits in a crowded market: physiotherapists, podiatrists, sports therapists, and massage clinics all advertise for it, and the titles blur together in search results.  - [Physiotherapy For London Commuters And Desk Professionals](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/physiotherapy-for-london-commuters-desk-professionals): Working Londoners fail at physiotherapy for one reason more than any other: the course never fits the week. The treatment works, the motivation exists, and the diary still wins. A typical course means four to eight appointments over several weeks, and for someone commuting into zone one with a calendar full of meetings, each appointment is a logistics problem before it is a health decision.  - [What Is Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome (GTPS)?](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/what-is-greater-trochanteric-pain-syndrome-gtps): Greater trochanteric pain syndrome, or GTPS, is the clinical term physiotherapists now use for the condition most patients still call hip bursitis. The name changed because the understanding changed. Imaging research over the past two decades showed the pain usually comes from irritated gluteal tendons at the outer hip, not from an inflamed bursa alone.  - [Physiotherapy Without A GP Referral: How Direct Access Works](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/physiotherapy-without-gp-referral): Nobody needs a GP referral to see a private physiotherapist in the UK. The belief that a doctor must send you persists anyway, and it delays thousands of treatment starts every month. Physiotherapists are first-contact practitioners in law, trained to assess, diagnose, and treat without medical sign-off. The referral question has three genuinely different answers depending on route: private, NHS, and insurance-funded.  - [NHS vs Private Physiotherapy In London: Waiting Times Compared](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/nhs-vs-private-physiotherapy-london-waiting-times): Private physiotherapy runs on direct access, and no referral of any kind is required. - [Your First Physiotherapy Appointment: What Happens, Step By Step](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/first-physiotherapy-appointment-what-happens): First physiotherapy appointments follow a structure, and knowing it beforehand removes most of the nerves. The session is a conversation followed by an examination, ending in a diagnosis and a plan you understand. Nothing is done to you without explanation, nothing hurts by design, and no question you ask is too basic.  - [Same-Day Physiotherapy In London: How Fast Can You Be Seen?](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/same-day-physiotherapy-london): Same-day physiotherapy is a real option in London, not a marketing line. Wake up with a locked neck, pull a calf mid-run, or feel a back go while lifting, and an HCPC-registered physiotherapist can assess you before the evening. Private direct access makes the speed possible: no referral, no queue, one booking. Speed matters clinically, not just for comfort.  - [What To Wear To Physiotherapy: A Practical Guide](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/what-to-wear-physiotherapy-appointment): Clothing for physiotherapy follows one rule: the area being treated needs to be seen and moved. Everything else is comfort. Shorts for a knee, a vest for a shoulder, trainers for anything involving walking or running. Nobody expects gym wear, nobody minds work clothes with a change in your bag, and nothing happens without your agreement.  - [How Insurance-Funded Physiotherapy Works: From Policy To First Session](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/how-insurance-funded-physiotherapy-works): Health insurance covers physiotherapy on most UK private medical policies, and the claims process is simpler than most policyholders expect. Five steps sit between a new injury and an insurer-funded first session: check your cover, obtain authorisation, book, attend, and let the billing route you chose do its work. Each step has one or two details worth knowing in advance, because the details decide how smooth the claim runs. - [Hip Bursitis Vs Hip Osteoarthritis: Three Differences That Separate Them](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/hip-bursitis-vs-hip-osteoarthritis): Hip bursitis and hip osteoarthritis both cause hip pain in the same age group, and patients confuse them constantly. The two conditions differ in three reliable ways: where the pain sits, when it appears, and what provokes it. Getting the distinction right matters because the treatments diverge. Bursitis needs compression management and tendon loading.  - [Evening And Weekend Physiotherapy In London: How To Fit Treatment Around Work](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/evening-weekend-physiotherapy-london): Acute injuries needing attention the same day are a different path, covered in our guide to same-day physiotherapy in London. For routine courses, a standing Saturday 9am slot is the most protected appointment in the week, because nothing competes with it. - [How To Find A Private Physio For Hip Pain In The UK](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/how-to-find-private-physio-for-hip-pain): Hip pain that lingers past three weeks warrants clinical assessment. Private physiotherapy is the fastest route to that assessment in the UK, and you do not need a GP referral to book. What you need is a way to verify that the physiotherapist you choose is legitimately qualified, insured, and clinically equipped to assess your hip. - [When To See A Physio For Hip Pain](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/when-to-see-a-physio-for-hip-pain): Most hip pain settles within days. Some hip pain needs a physiotherapist within a week. A smaller number of hip pain presentations need urgent medical review before any physiotherapy. Knowing which category your hip pain falls into changes how quickly you recover and how much treatment you eventually need. - [Private Physiotherapy With A Pre-Existing Hip Condition](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/private-physiotherapy-pre-existing-hip-condition): Pre-existing hip conditions complicate private physiotherapy in a specific way. The physiotherapy itself is straightforward. The insurance funding for it is not. Most patients we assess with a hip history assume their private medical insurance will cover treatment. Many find out at the claim stage that it will not.  - [Hip Pain In Older Adults: When Physiotherapy Helps](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/hip-pain-in-older-adults-when-physiotherapy-helps): Note. Hip pain after any fall in adults over sixty warrants same-day medical assessment, even if the fall seemed minor. Classic fragility fracture signs include inability to weight-bear, groin pain, and a shortened externally rotated leg. Hip pain with fever, feeling systemically unwell, sudden severe hip pain, unexplained weight loss, progressive night pain unrelieved by position change, and bilateral leg symptoms with bladder or bowel changes all warrant urgent medical review rather than physiotherapy first. Patients on long-term steroids, with alcohol misuse history, or with a prior cancer diagnosis should seek GP review for any progressive hip pain. Physiotherapy is first-line for most hip pain in older adults but never replaces medical assessment of red flags. Contact NHS 111 for guidance when unsure. - [Hip Pain At Night: When It Warrants A Physiotherapy Assessment](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/hip-pain-at-night-physio-assessment): We answer the questions patients ask most often about hip pain at night. - [Hip Bursitis Symptoms And A Self-Test You Can Do At Home](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/hip-bursitis-symptoms-and-self-test): Hip bursitis produces a recognisable pattern of lateral hip pain that a simple set of home tests can help you identify. The tests do not diagnose. They classify the pattern so a physiotherapist can assess efficiently and rule in or out the other conditions that mimic bursitis. Modern MSK practice increasingly uses the term greater trochanteric pain syndrome, or GTPS, because gluteal tendon involvement usually drives the presentation alongside the bursa.  - [Private Physiotherapy with a Pre-Existing Knee Condition: How Access Works in the UK](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/private-physiotherapy-pre-existing-joint-problem): A pre-existing knee condition does not block private physiotherapy access in the UK. Insurance may cover it, exclude it, or impose a 2-year waiting period. Self-pay always works. Our team at One Body LDN treats patients with chronic knee osteoarthritis, old ACL reconstructions, longstanding meniscus tears, and recurring patellofemoral pain across London every day. The five steps below show you how to access private knee physiotherapy with a pre-existing condition. - [When to See a Physio for Knee Pain in the UK](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/when-to-see-a-physio-for-knee-pain): These four questions are the most common ones we hear from patients deciding when to see a physiotherapist. - [How to Find a Private Physiotherapist for Knee Pain in the UK](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/how-to-find-private-physio-for-knee-pain): Finding a private physiotherapist for knee pain in the UK is a five-step process: verify credentials, match the physiotherapist to your knee problem, find a trusted clinic, check insurance, and book the assessment. Our team at One Body LDN treats knee pain across London every day, from runners with patellar irritation to office workers with worn cartilage, skiers recovering from a torn meniscus, and post-op patients rebuilding strength. The full process is below, alongside what to expect when you book a knee assessment with our team. - [When to See a Physio for Sciatica: Red Flags and Treatment](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/when-to-see-a-physio-for-sciatica): Sciatica needs same-day A&E care when red flag symptoms appear, and a physiotherapy assessment when symptoms persist beyond two to four weeks. Most cases respond to conservative care within six to twelve weeks under NICE guideline NG59. The right decision depends on symptom duration, severity, and the presence of warning signs. Read on for the full framework and what physiotherapy delivers. - [Sciatica Pain When Sitting: Why It Happens and How to Stop It](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/sciatica-pain-when-sitting): Sciatica often hurts most when you sit because sitting puts roughly 40% more pressure on your lumbar discs than standing. The added pressure pushes a bulging disc against the nerve root. Five posture rules and the 30-minute movement rule remove most of the load. Severe or progressive symptoms need professional assessment, but most cases respond to better desk habits. - [Sciatica Exercises and Movements to Avoid](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/sciatica-exercises-to-avoid): Sciatica reacts badly to two specific movement patterns: loaded spinal flexion and aggressive nerve tensioning. Six exercise categories share these patterns and can worsen symptoms during recovery. The right choice often depends on your sciatica subtype and stage of recovery, but a few clear rules apply to most cases. Read on for what to avoid, why, and what stays safe. - [How Long Does Sciatica Take to Heal? Recovery Timelines Explained](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/how-long-does-sciatica-last): Most sciatica cases settle within six weeks of conservative care, but recovery happens in three distinct stages. Around 75% of acute cases resolve within four weeks. Subacute cases that linger past six weeks often need active physiotherapy. Chronic cases lasting over 12 weeks need specialist input. Recovery is rarely linear, and knowing the markers of improvement helps you track progress without panic. - [What Is Sciatica? Causes, Symptoms, and How It Is Diagnosed](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/what-is-sciatica): Sciatica is pain caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve. The pain typically radiates from your lower back through one buttock and down the back of your leg. Most cases settle within six weeks with conservative treatment.  - [Sciatica vs Lower Back Pain: How to Tell the Difference](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/sciatica-vs-lower-back-pain): Sciatica and lower back pain often appear together, but the two are distinct conditions. Lower back pain stays in the lumbar region. Sciatica radiates from the lower back down one leg, often with numbness or tingling. Five clear markers help you tell which one you have. Both respond to physiotherapy as first-line treatment, and the right plan depends on which condition is driving your symptoms. - [Lower Back Pain: Causes, Symptoms, and When to See a Physio](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/lower-back-pain): Most lower back pain has a mechanical cause, meaning the muscles, ligaments, discs, or joints in the lumbar spine are loaded in a way they cannot handle. The symptoms tell a physio almost everything they need to know about what is going on. Sharp pain when bending forward suggests one pattern, dull stiffness after sitting suggests another, and radiating pain down the leg suggests a third.  - [Lower Back Pain When Bending Forward or Lifting: Causes and Treatment](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/lower-back-pain-when-bending-lifting): Lower back pain that flares when you bend forward or lift something is one of the most common reasons people end up in our One Body LDN clinics. The trigger gives us the diagnosis nine times out of ten, because the lumbar spine reacts in specific, predictable ways depending on which structure is irritated.  - [Back Pain: When to Worry and When to See a Physio](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/when-to-see-a-physio-for-back-pain): Most back pain settles within two to six weeks with sensible movement and time. Some back pain does not, and a small number of cases are medical emergencies that need same-day care. The difference matters because waiting too long with the wrong type of back pain makes it harder to fix, while panicking over normal mechanical pain wastes a GP visit you do not need.  - [Office Worker Back Pain: Why It Happens and How a Physio Fixes It Without You Stopping Work](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/office-worker-back-pain): Office worker back pain isn't a mystery. It builds up over months of long hours at a desk, reduced movement, and a setup that doesn't quite fit the way your body works. - [Working From Home Back Pain: Why Improvised Desks Cause It and How a Physio Fixes It](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/working-from-home-back-pain): Three home setups account for most working-from-home back pain. Each one loads your spine differently, but the outcome is the same. - [Standing Desk Back Pain: Why the Healthy Option Becomes the Problem and How a Physio Fixes It](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/standing-desk-back-pain): Standing desk back pain develops when prolonged static standing replaces prolonged static sitting. Both extremes load your spine in damaging patterns. - [The Best Sports Massage in London – Ultimate Guide 2026](https://onebodyldn.com/blog/best-sports-massage-clinics-london): Let’s countdown the clinics listed as offering the best sports massage in London!

Our HCPC-registered, degree-qualified physios use hands-on treatment and tailored rehabilitation to give you a clear recovery plan. - [test](https://onebodyldn.com/test): Rebecca Bossick is a Chartered Physiotherapist who qualified from the University of Liverpool in 2012 with a BSc (Hons) in Physiotherapy. She is Co-Founder and Clinical Director of One Body LDN and leads clinical standards, governance, clinician onboarding and clinical development across the organisation. - [Upper Back Pain](https://onebodyldn.com/upper-back-pain): Upper back pain is pain, stiffness or tension anywhere in the thoracic region, from the base of the neck to the bottom of the ribs, including the area between and around the shoulder blades. Because each thoracic vertebra connects to a rib, this part of the spine moves less and hurts differently: disc problems and nerve compression are far less common than in the lower back, while muscle overload, joint stiffness and rib-related pain are far more common. - [Lower Back Pain](https://onebodyldn.com/lower-back-pain): Lower back pain is pain, stiffness or tension felt between the bottom of the ribcage and the top of the buttocks, the region of the five lumbar vertebrae. This part of the spine takes the greatest load in the whole back, which is why it produces more pain than any other region, and why it has this dedicated guide within our wider back pain resource. - [Meet the Team](https://onebodyldn.com/about-us/meet-the-team): Our London physiotherapy team includes HCPC-registered physiotherapists with experience across NHS, private MSK and sports & performance settings.

Everyone agrees it feels good; few can say exactly what it does, and the internet oversells it and dismisses it in equal measure. The honest position sits in between: deep tissue sports massage is a genuinely useful clinical tool for tightness, recovery, and performance, with real mechanisms behind it, provided it is delivered by trained hands, timed sensibly around your training, and paired with the strength work that makes changes last. This guide covers what it is, who it helps, what happens in a session, how it differs from the massage you get in a spa, and the questions every first-timer asks. - [Knee Pain](https://onebodyldn.com/knee-pain): Knee pain reaches everyone eventually: runners and lifters, desk workers whose knees stiffen after sitting, and older adults whose knees object to stairs. The knee is the body's largest joint and its most exposed, carrying several times your body weight with every step down a staircase, and where it hurts says a great deal about why. - [Wrist Pain](https://onebodyldn.com/wrist-pain): Wrist pain is common among office workers, gym-goers, and anyone who uses their hands for a living, which is everyone. The wrist is a corridor: eight small bones, the tendons of every finger, and the nerves supplying the hand all pass through a joint narrower than a watch strap, so a lot can hurt in a small space. - [Foot Pain](https://onebodyldn.com/foot-pain): Foot pain makes everything harder, because there is no opting out of using your feet. Each one carries your full body weight thousands of times a day across 26 bones, and where it hurts- the heel on the first steps of the morning, the arch mid-walk, the ball of the foot when you push off- does most of the diagnostic work. Whether it is aching heels at dawn, pain along the sole, or sharp discomfort when running, physiotherapy can identify the cause and guide lasting relief. - [Elbow Pain](https://onebodyldn.com/elbow-pain): Elbow pain is a common problem for office workers, athletes, and gym-goers alike, and physiotherapy resolves most of it well. The elbow is a precise hinge caught between two busy neighbours: every grip, lift, twist and typing session loads the forearm muscles that anchor at the elbow, which is why most elbow pain is really tendon pain, and why the side of the elbow that hurts usually names the problem. Understanding what is happening in your elbow is the first step toward lasting relief. - [Hand Pain](https://onebodyldn.com/hand-pain): Hand pain is a problem nobody can ignore, because nothing else in the body is used as constantly. Typing, gripping, lifting, writing, phones: the hand works all day, through twenty-seven bones, dozens of joints, and tendons running to every fingertip, so even a small problem announces itself in everything you do. - [Ankle Pain](https://onebodyldn.com/ankle-pain): Ankle pain rarely gets the attention it deserves. People walk on sore ankles for months, assuming they will settle, and often they do. The ones that persist usually have a reason: a sprain that never fully healed, a tendon loaded past its capacity, or a joint quietly stiffening. The ankle carries your entire body weight on a joint the size of a matchbox, thousands of steps a day, so small problems get rehearsed until they become patterns. - [Hip Pain](https://onebodyldn.com/hip-pain): Hip pain reaches every kind of person: runners and lifters, desk workers, and older adults who notice their walks getting shorter. The pain itself takes different forms: a deep ache in the groin, a sharp catch when walking or twisting, an outer-hip soreness that ruins side-sleeping, and each form points somewhere different. Where your hip hurts, and when, does most of the diagnostic work, and this guide walks through both. - [Fulham Physiotherapy](https://onebodyldn.com/physiotherapy-fulham): Award-winning private physiotherapy in Fulham for pain, sports injuries and post-surgery rehab. Our HCPC-registered, degree-qualified physios use hands-on treatment and tailored rehabilitation to give you a clear recovery plan. - [Shoulder Pain](https://onebodyldn.com/shoulder-pain): Shoulder pain is one of the most common upper-body problems treated in physiotherapy, and one of the most varied. It might be a dull ache after a desk day, a sharp catch when lifting your arm, a shoulder you cannot lie on at night, or an ache spreading from the neck into the shoulder blade. - [Neck Pain](https://onebodyldn.com/neck-pain): Neck pain is one of the most common spinal problems and a frequent reason people seek physiotherapy. It has a wide vocabulary: the stiff neck after a bad night, the crick that arrived from nowhere, the pulled muscle from the gym, the ache that spreads into the shoulder, the sharp catch when reversing the car. Each pattern points somewhere slightly different, and understanding yours is the first step towards effective, long-term relief. - [Back Pain](https://onebodyldn.com/back-pain): Back pain refers to discomfort or stiffness felt anywhere from the base of the neck to the pelvis. It can range from mild muscle tightness to severe nerve irritation that radiates down the leg. - [Finsbury Park Physiotherapy](https://onebodyldn.com/physiotherapy-finsbury-park): Award-winning private physiotherapy in Finsbury Park for pain, sports injuries and post-surgery rehab.
