ADVERTISING FEATURE
We also offer a great solution to those affected by sports injuries. Athletes and local sports people alike get injured. Our experienced physiotherapy team diagnoses, treats and develops strength programmes to enable our patients to return to activity.
We treat all injuries to soft tissue such as muscle, ligament and tendon, with conventional hands-on physiotherapy and deep soft tissue massage, alongside therapies including shockwave, acupuncture and nutrition. Plus of course, we have MBST ® treatment to support the healing process when a boost is needed.
What is the most common ailment? Julia: Arthritic knees and hips plus spinal disc problems are our most popular treatments.
Are you working with local sports people / teams? Paul: Yes, we have had many sportspeople visit our clinic over the past two years. Often the result of an impact injury but also because of wear and tear conditions caused by many years of repetitive load. We have also assisted the recovery of a number of high-profile professional athletes from football and rugby, plus local athletes from the University of Bath.
Are you seeing results? Julia: Yes, most definitely. It is such a pleasure to watch patients go through the MBST ® treatment process and see the difference it makes to their quality of life. In the vast majority of cases, people experience a reduction in pain and inflammation resulting in improved mobility. This enables patients to increase their exercise and maintain a healthy weight which has a really positive effect on mental health.
Occasionally people do not respond to treatment, but this is very rare. The level of improvement can vary hugely. For some, it is a case of managing their symptoms and making them more comfortable and for others it is literally life-changing, enabling patients to reduce their medication and live a much better quality of life.
How is At The Core different from other rehabilitation clinics? Paul: We are the only clinic in Bath to offer the revolutionary MBST ® treatment technology( one of only 13 clinics in the
UK). MBST ® therapy is a wonderful adjunct to the hands-on treatment applied by conventional physiotherapy. At The Core combines physiotherapy with MBST ® treatment to offer the very best conditions for optimal recovery.
What have been the highlights of the first two years in business? Julia: Changing people’ s quality of life, without doubt. One 82-year-old man arrived in a wheelchair as he was in too much pain to walk. A month later, he was able to dance the first dance at his wedding!
What’ s the biggest thing you’ ve learnt? Paul: In this industry you have to be open-minded to new technologies. Challenge yourself to find new ways to get better results. Also, every patient has their own unique pathway back to fitness so make it personal and go with it.
What are your future plans? Paul: We have already opened a second clinic in London in Primrose Hill. We would like to expand the Bath clinic and perhaps open more clinics across the UK.
Developed in Germany over 20 years ago and having delivered more than a million hours of treatment to over 170,000 patients, The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence( NICE) have recently reported ' no safety concerns ' associated with MBST ® therapy here in the UK. A scoping study by the College of Radiographers identified reduced pain and improved mobility in patients with osteoarthritis following a course of MBST ® therapy medical professionals and consultants here are embracing the benefits of MBST ® technology in support of bone and musculoskeletal conditions.
