Can anyone recommend a Physio?

I managed to get to see Phil Newton on Tuesday morning and he gave me a few pointers regarding the medication the doctor prescribed and little exercises to do on my neck. I have already started to feel the benefits from this visit and after speaking with him, I can see light at the end of the tunnel.

The doctor prescribed Amitriptyline to help me sleep at night but due to them being an anti-depressant, I hadn't taken any. Phil talked me through how they can be used for pain relief (something the doctor never did) and advised that I should give them a go. I've taken them the last few nights and haven't gotten out of bed until 10.30 each day. I can't remember the last time I slept that late.

A big thank you to everyone who took the time to reply to mu original e-mail and thumbs up to those who recommended Phil.

Sounds good 👍
If you've got some spare Amitriptyline can we have some 😗
 
Keep well away from Paul Gough Physio, based in Hartlepool and Guisborough.

These are overcharged and overrated. It is all about trying to get as much money out of you . They see £ signs
 
Had my knee operation just over two weeks ago (Meniscus shave) turned out to be a bigger deal than I thought, one grade four area, two grade three, and a grade one, all in one knee.
Was doing well I thought, gentle cycling, no need of pain relief, from the day after the op onwards, but limping badly.

Saw Phil yesterday. Sorted exercises for me, and slowed me down. 24 hours later and I don’t limp anymore. The guy’s a wizard.

I’m recovering way faster than the surgeon expected, but that one session has stepped everything up.

Kate visits us every few weeks at work, she's an absolute gem. My knee is falling apart but she give me lots of simple exercises to strengthen it a bit. Sadly I need proper surgery instead due to the bodge job I had last time.

Hope you get sorted with a good outcome IJ

Chuffed to be on the other side of the op now, I must say…
