How It Works
How Our Tendinopathy & Joint Pain Management Works
At Valiant Clinic, we look beyond the pain to identify the underlying causes, creating a plan that restores movement and prevents future issues. Our approach combines advanced imaging, manual therapy, targeted treatments, and supportive advice to get you moving again.
Initial Consultation & Assessment
We begin with a detailed discussion about your symptoms and activities, followed by a thorough physical examination. If needed, imaging such as ultrasound helps us pinpoint the exact source of pain. This ensures your treatment plan is tailored to your needs.
Targeted Treatment Plan
Your care may include physiotherapy, shockwave therapy, ultrasound-guided injections, or regenerative medicine options to address the problem directly. These evidence-based treatments reduce pain and support tissue healing, helping you regain movement.
Personalised Rehabilitation & Advice
Our physiotherapists design an exercise programme that strengthens and protects your joints and tendons. We provide expert advice on training techniques, warm-up routines, and lifestyle adjustments to keep you moving confidently and pain-free.
Follow-Up & Monitoring
Regular check-ups allow us to track your progress and fine-tune your treatment plan. We’re here to support you every step of the way, ensuring you’re feeling better and performing at your best.
