Practice Approach to Covid 19
As an Osteopath I remain cautious in all treatment settings and as an essential healthcare provider I continue to offer Face to face appointments for ALL patients whether they are in pain, unable to function normally or in need of preventative treatment.
The following precautions remain in place at this practice:-
- Hugo Firth, the Osteopath, has now received all three of his Covid -19 Vaccinations
- Face masks must be worn by both patient and Osteopath during the entire appointment.
- Patients must not have any symptoms nor have been in contact with anyone who has symptoms over the last 7 days.
- Patients will receive a Covid Declaration form to complete before the appointment. This must be completed before the appointment.
- Appointments will be spaced out by 15 mins to allow for clinic disinfecting and room airing time between patients. It also ensures that there is no more than 1 patient in the waiting room at any one time.

Recurring Injury?
As a sports injury rehab specialist, Hugo will analyse your gait, foot biomechanics, posture and spine as well as the injured tissue itself to find the root cause of the injury if it is a recurring injury or healing very slowly. Recurring injuries such as hamstring strains, achilles tendonitis, plantafascitis, shin splints, ankle sprains, calf strains, runners knee, tennis and golfers elbow, shoulder and knee pain, back pain, sciatica – all benefit from this approach.
Post Surgery or Trauma Rehab?
If it is a trauma or post surgery rehab he makes sure that joints and muscles above and below the site of injury are working optimally to enhance the healing process. He then gives his patients the latest advice and help on how to manage the injury and improve the rate of healing.
He provides really effective rehab exercise programmes tailored to their sport that help his patients regain proprioception and muscles strength. So they are ready to return to their activity with less chance of re-injury.
