Injury Services

Initial Injury Consultation

The first appointment you will have at STEM Limited.. we will assess the pain, provide you with a prognosis and advice on treatment plan going forward

Follow-up appointment

This appointment is for all on-going treatment plans to support in recovery discussed during your consultation.

Specialist areas

Below are listed a few common issues we deal with on a day to day basis. Our approach combines detailed assessment, evidence-based treatment methods and progressive rehabilitation to reduce pain, restore function and support long term recovery. If you have a more complicated condition or injury, please get in contact so we can discuss how we can help!

Shoulder Pain

Rotator cuff injuries often involve strain, tears, or

tendinopathy in one or more of the four muscles

stabilising the shoulder joint. These issues

affect movement, strength, and overhead activity. We

use orthopaedic testing to identify structures

involved, followed by treatments such as

mobilisations, soft tissue therapy, and scapular control

exercises. In chronic cases, shockwave

therapy and dry needling may be used

to restore functional movement.

Pre or Post Surgery

For pre-operative we aim to optimise joint function,

strength, and mobility to support better surgical outcomes.

Post-operative, treatment reduces inflammation,

restores range of motion, and rebuilding strength and

neuromuscular control in line with surgical protocols.

We may be able to help with swelling control, pain

management, gait realignment and getting you back on your feet.

We can help with:

• Joint replacements

• Soft tissue reconstructions

• Fractures and trauma cases

Plantar Fasciitis

Inflammation or degeneration of

the plantar fascia (the thick band of connective tissue

running along the sole of the foot). Caused from incorrect footwear or overuse. It commonly presents

as sharp heel pain in the

morning or after periods of rest,

Treatment includes a combination of radial shockwave

therapy to stimulate tissue regeneration, dry needling to

reduce myofascial tension and manual release to improve mechanics. Ice and stretches can be done at home, alongside a targeted loading program to rebuild tissue resilience.

Repetitive Strain

Repetitive strain injuries develop due to overuse, presenting with inflammation, weakness and restricted movement. We treat these with manual therapy and exercise rehabilitation:

Lower Back Pain: can occur from muscular imbalance, poor posture or restricted joints

Tennis or Golfers Elbow: involve micro-tears to the tendons from repetitive loading

Patella Tendonitis: inflammation or degeneration of the tendons in the kneecap, often in runners or athletes

Tensor Fascia Latae: hip related pain from gluteal inactivity, hip flexor overuse or iliotibial band syndrome.
