About Midlands Physio
About Midlands Physio
At Midlands Physio, we believe good physiotherapy is about more than simply treating the area that hurts.
Physiotherapy focused on understanding the problem and helping you get back to doing what you enjoy
It's about understanding what's going on, explaining it clearly and working with you on a practical plan that fits your life and your goals.
Whether you want to get back to work, running, sport, the gym or simply everyday activities, our aim is to help you move forward with more confidence.
How we work
Understand the problem
We'll take time to listen to what's been happening, assess your movement and function and explain what we think may be contributing to your symptoms.
Build your capacity
Treatment may include hands-on therapy, exercise, rehabilitation and practical advice. The approach will depend on your problem, your current ability and what you want to get back to.
Help you stay in control
A big part of recovery happens between appointments. Where appropriate, you'll have a personalised exercise programme with videos and clear guidance, helping you understand what to do and how to progress.
Meet Derek
I'm Derek Stenson, founder of Midlands Physio and a CORU-registered physiotherapist.
I qualified in 2014 after taking a different route into physiotherapy, having previously spent many years working as a tennis coach. My interest in exercise, rehabilitation and staying active continues to shape the way I work with patients today.
I have particular interests in back pain, running injuries and exercise-based rehabilitation, and I believe that understanding your problem is an important part of getting better.
