Physiotherapist Canterbury

Physiotherapy helps you restore movement and function when you are affected by injury, illness or disability

Here at The Natural Order we offer a wide range of services aimed at restoring your health, rehabilitating you from an injury and preventing future issues.

Musculoskeletal & orthopaedic physiotherapy

Whether suffering acute discomfort that resolves quickly such as headaches, issues connected to repetition like carpal tunnel, persistent complaints including low back pain or an illness that requires ongoing management like arthritis, help is available. The clinic offers treatment for a large range of spinal and peripheral joint problems.

Patients often arrive, following a specialist recommendation, having had medical imaging (X-ray/MRI) or for rehabilitation after a surgery like a total knee replacement. Our ambition is to optimise physical and mental well-being during injury recovery. Encouraging patients to build an educated approach in achieving balanced musculoskeletal health. We have short waiting times, offer face to face care, hands-on treatment and prescribe exercise.

Manual Therapy

Human beings need physical contact, as we receive this input the brain responds through emotional centres to enable recovery from both physical injury and emotional trauma.

The science behind adjuncts like massage techniques, joint mobilisation & trigger point therapy varies with time but the results are consistent. Patients seek treatment that aids their recovery and this is achieved in part from evidence-based hands-on techniques.

Sports Physiotherapy

As a physiotherapist specialising in sports injuries the aim is to bring the tips and tricks learnt in professional sports environments to an everyday person. Current scientific evidence is used to improve diagnosis accuracy and treatment effectiveness. If medical imaging or a medical opinion is needed the referral pathways exist to do so quickly.

The goal is to guide the patient through a comprehensive journey, rehabilitating them back to full function. We have established an environment that creates a bridge between common sense and sports medicine. Areas of interest include tendinopathy, scapula dyskinesis, acute ankle sprain, return to play rehab and hamstring management.

Acupuncture & Dry Needling

Both Acupuncture and Dry Needling are utilized as treatment modalities at the clinic. It is not used to resolve medical problems such as infertility or aid lifestyle goals such as smoking cessation. However, it is a treatment option to improve musculoskeletal problems such as headaches or generalised pain.

All techniques are sterile and delivered adhering to stringent health and safety protocols. The treatment approach aims to connect its Eastern ancestry and recent science developed in the Western world.

What our clients think

  • Max is a friendly and knowledgeable physiotherapist who has really helped me with my injury. He has an obvious passion for the function and well-being of the human body.

    Max was recommended to me following a physical assessment by a specialist consultant based in Bank, London after experiencing significant abdominal pain during and post exercise.

    Max developed a bespoke rehabilitation programme specific to my needs and lifestyle which has not just reduced the pain I am experiencing but also considerably improved my overall running form.

    I wouldn't hesitate to recommend his services to anybody, no matter their physical condition or fitness level.

    - Stephen Pattenden

  • During lockdown I suffered a traumatic shoulder injury and thankfully Max came highly recommended. His professionalism and knowledge put me at ease straight away and helped me to better understand my injury.

    Max was quick to refer me for imaging and I subsequently saw his colleague who specialises in shoulder injuries, from start to finish my journey to recovering was effortlessness and stress free.

    Personally I have no reservations in recommending Max to my friends and family.

    - Sue Webb

  • I have been experiencing lower back pain but have struggled to find a diagnosis despite going to multiple physiotherapists and osteopaths since the pain started. As a coach myself, I found this extremely frustrating and it was starting to impact my day to day life. I have been seeing Max since he starting practicing out of CrossFit Stone Towers.

    He immediately put me through a comprehensive screening process, and identified a few key areas that needed balancing out that could be the root of my pain. Through a combination of hands on therapy and rehab exercises, I already feel so much better, and so much more confident in preventing pain moving forwards.

    As a big bonus he is super friendly and easy to chat to, and communicates technical things in a clear and concise way.

    - Sarah Catford

  • Over the last 7 years I have been playing rugby at national 1 and 2 levels for Canterbury RFC. Across the seasons I have sustained my fair share of injuries, however seeing Max on a regular basis has been invaluable to my fitness and performance

    Over the past 2-3 years Max and I have had regular appointments, whereby his experience and ability in preventative measures and rehabilitation have enabled me to feel fit and prepared for each game. Overall, Max’s holistic approach towards my well-being has helped me to understand how to get the best out of myself including both physically and mentally.

    I am grateful to Max for what he has already taught me, and I will most definitely be using his services and skills going forward into the next season. I cannot thank him enough.

    - Aiden Moss

  • Max is a great coach. His approach is multi-dimensional and he really cares, not only about your physical potential as a human being, but also about the way you feel about training and the emotional side of things.

    Aside from physical therapy, Max really took the time to understand the emotional reasons behind my training and helped me focus my attention into the most rewarding endeavours to complement my lifestyle.

    This is not typical ‘magic sponge’ physiotherapy. You will not be disappointed.

    - David George

  • I suffered a complicated detachment ankle break and subsequent surgery with dense metalwork in July 2020. I started having physio treatment with Max, 3 months after surgery privately, a recommendation from a friend and after unable to secure any NHS physio. I continue to have weekly physio sessions with Max.

    The attention to detail, his expert knowledge, advice and physio treatment service has enabled me to walk again after a relatively short period. I have highly recommended Max to numerous friends all of whom are extremely grateful for his support, physiotherapy and knowledge.

    Not far off a miracle being able to work, go to the gym, walk and continue being active without the treatment from Max within 6 months of injury.

    - Nina Gregory
