Had treatment from Emily and Amie for serious back and knee pain for months while training in the gym with real day to day life impacts , didn’t know how was going to resolve. Lovely girl, easy to talk to she understood the issue immediately, extremely knowledgable, isolated the pain straight away , found the cause of the issues (there were a few!) and made immediate impact. Can’t thank her enough will continue to use, highly recommend 10/10🙌

I sought out physio for lower back pain which was hurting on a daily basis. I had one session with Daniel Thompson and he diagnosed my issue and gave me excercises to do to resolve the root cause. Within two weeks my back pain had fully gone and I feel back to my normal self. Would recommend to anyone it was well worth it and Daniel is friendly and very knowledgable.

How Our Process Works

Assess

We’ll discuss your symptoms, medical history and goals before completing a detailed musculoskeletal assessment.

Explain

We’ll explain our findings and discuss whether a steroid injection is appropriate.

Injection

If a steroid injection is clinically appropriate and you choose to proceed, it can be performed during the same appointment.

Rehab

We’ll provide aftercare and advice to help you make the most of any reduction in pain and progress with your recovery.

Corticosteroid Injections

The right treatment starts with the right assessment.

Corticosteroid injections can reduce pain and inflammation in some joint and tendon conditions, but they’re not right for everyone.

✓ Persistent joint or tendon pain
✓ Symptoms affecting daily life, work or sport
✓ Limited progress with physiotherapy
✓ Pain preventing rehabilitation

We do not inject the neck, lower back or spine.

Your safety comes first

We use careful assessment, appropriate technique and clear aftercare to minimise risks.

Possible side effects are usually temporary and may include soreness, bruising or a short-term increase in pain. We’ll explain the benefits, risks and alternatives before treatment.

FAQ: Joint & Tendon Injections at light joints physiotherapy

Injections can support recovery from conditions such as:

Injections are always part of a structured physiotherapy plan and are delivered where clinically appropriate.

The effect of corticosteroid injections can vary depending on the condition. Many patients experience relief within 48–72 hours, and benefits can last several weeks to a few months. Your physiotherapist will provide a tailored rehab plan to maximise long-term outcomes.

No GP referral is required. Our Independent Prescribers can assess your condition and determine whether injections are suitable, as part of your structured physiotherapy plan.
