Happy New Year from all the team at ThreeSpires Physiotherapy. This has been an amazing year of development and continued growth for ThreeSpires Physiotherapy and I thought that it would be nice to share what has gone on and look at some of our plans for the future.

1. Continued Growth in Patient Numbers:

2016 has carried on in the same vein as 2015 with a fantastic growth in patient numbers and demand for our home visit physiotherapy services. This growth in patient numbers demonstrates clearly the continuing demand for our excellent home visit physiotherapy service and we continue to get a large number of referrals and recommendations from patients and their relatives which is very satisfying.

2. Great Reviews and Testimonials:

We attempt to get feedback on how our physiotherapy service is performing from all of our patients (both past and current) and this has continued to be universally positive. Our testimonials are available on the website and we have a 5 star rating on google+ and many amazingly positive reviews that have been left by our patients. Below is a recent example from a satisfied and pain free patient:

" I contacted ThreeSpires Physiotherapy to help treat my bad back (suspected herniated disc). They promptly called me to arrange an initial consultation appointment. Following an assessment the physiotherapist recommended massage and acupuncture and carried out the treatment. There was a total of 5 visits in all until the pain had resolved. I would highly recommend ThreeSpires Physiotherapy. The physiotherapist was polite, respectful, knowledgeable and skilful. Appointments were arranged to suit my schedule and the physiotherapist was always prompt and kept me informed. If the need ever arises I will call ThreeSpires Physiotherapy for assessment and treatment." - Carolyn Colclough, Tamworth

3. New Services:

This year we have been able to offer paediatric physiotherapy which has been a huge success and it has been fantastic to be able to help children and their parents in Staffordshire. Due to the addition of several new physiotherapists with their own areas of specialisms we have been able to focus more of our service on orthopaedics, neurological patients and patients with mobility problems who may be in care homes. These new physiotherapy services have proved to be very popular and throughout 2017 we will be trying to develop them further.

4. New Members of The ThreeSpires Physiotherapy Team:

As our home visit physiotherapy service has expanded we have needed to add to our team. This year saw the addition of several new physios. Firstly Lisa Clapp: Lisa is a highly experienced paediatric and neurological physiotherapist who has been a fantastic addition to the team. She has been able to provide an incredibly high level of physiotherapy to a wide range of patients (both children and adult) for us across Lichfield, Burntwood, Sutton Coldfield and Walsall. Lisa joined us early in 2016 and has proved to be extremely popular with patients. At the beginning of the Summer we were joined by Maria McGuffin who is a very experienced orthopaedic physiotherapist. Maria now sees the large majority of our patients who have had hip or knee replacements and has been an invaluable addition to the team. Finally we have recently been joined by a brilliant new physiotherapist Katy Padden. Katy is a musculoskeletal physiotherapist and is now seeing several of our patients with back and neck pain.

I don't think I could finish this section without mentioning the incredible work of our business manager. Jenny initially began working in an administrative role but over the last 12 months has really developed the role under her own initiative to become our business manager. She is the one who is basically responsible for ensuring that everything happens on time and that the service does not grind to a halt!

5.The Blog:

Our physiotherapy blog has grown an enormous amount this year and now covers large range of subjects from paediatric physiotherapy, Cerebral Palsy, Stroke to case studies on low back pain. This is now a fantastic resource for any patients  who may want to know a bit more detail about a particular issue.

This really has been a great year for ThreeSpires Physiotherapy and I anticipate 2017 being even better! For anyone who has not come across our service before, we are a home visit physiotherapy service based in Lichfield and serving anywhere within 25 minutes including areas such as Tamworth, Sutton Coldfield, Burton, Rugeley and Cannock. We offer a wide range of physiotherapy services including orthopaedic rehab, neurological physiotherapy, paediatric physiotherapy, sports massage and elderly mobility improvement.
