Down2u Health and Wellbeing

Down2u Health and Wellbeing Ltd is a physiotherapy-led service for people living with chronic pain, musculoskeletal issues, sport-related injuries and workplace-related injuries. Its services include Initial Assessment & Treatment, Physiotherapy Follow Up, Massage Therapy and a phone or video discovery consultation.

Initial Assessment & Treatment includes taking a full history, analysing a possible diagnosis, carrying out a physical examination, explaining the diagnosis in understandable language, and providing a practical treatment plan with manual therapies. Physiotherapy Follow Up covers reassessment, discussion of flare-ups and improvements, and changes to treatment where needed.

Care is based on hands-on treatment, exercise rehabilitation and education that covers physical, mental and emotional aspects of pain. The practice's named pain areas include chronic pain, sciatica, neck pain, knee pain and occupational injury. Massage Therapy is a hands-on treatment for muscle and nervous system tension, with pressure discussed with the therapist.

Down2u Work and Pain Solutions has run as a group pain programme with an initial consultation from a Pain Specialist Physiotherapist. The programme includes baseline measures of mental and physical capabilities, modules in pacing, body mechanics, pain science, moving and handling and how the body repairs, plus relaxation strategies, self-pain relieving techniques, manual therapy, acupuncture, cupping, mindfulness, breathing techniques and physical conditioning. This course can no longer be booked.

A discovery consultation is delivered by phone or video. Initial Assessment & Treatment is available online and in person. The service runs from CrossFit Kelham Gym in Sheffield, CrossFit Barnsley in Barnsley and Everyday Athlete Gym in Doncaster.
