Stoney Stretton Physiotherapy near Shrewsbury expands with new treatment room

A rural physiotherapy practice just outside Shrewsbury has grown. Stoney Stretton Physiotherapy, based at Stoney Stretton Lodge in Yockleton, has opened a second dedicated treatment room alongside its rehabilitation and Pilates studio, and welcomed new members to its team.

The extra space has allowed the clinic to recruit physiotherapist Beth Williams, who joins founder Victoria and the existing clinical staff. The practice has also brought in sports massage therapist Zoe Lomas and orthotist Jana Middlebrook, so clients can now access physiotherapy, acupuncture, orthotics, sports massage and clinical Pilates in one place.

Victoria has more than two decades of clinical experience. As well as musculoskeletal and spinal problems, the practice treats neurological conditions and respiratory issues.

Exercise rehabilitation and performance are a particular focus. The team helps people return safely to activities including weight training, cycling, running and equestrian sports, adapting training plans to suit each person.

Pilates remains at the heart of the clinic's week. Sessions led by qualified instructors run through the week for all levels from beginner to advanced, and numbers are strictly capped so that everyone gets personal attention. Weights and bands are often part of the class, and all participants need to bring is a mat.

Acupuncture is used to target trigger points, and deep tissue massage is offered for muscle tension and sports-related stiffness. The clinic's own guidance explains that most patients need at least one follow-up visit, and that Victoria tries to resolve issues within three appointments or refer on to another health professional where needed.

Clients clearly value the personal approach. Testimonials on the clinic's website praise Victoria as both a physiotherapist and a Pilates teacher who puts people at ease quickly, and one patient credits her with helping them return to walking, climbing and running.

Patients with more than one problem need not worry either. Victoria says she always tries to fit in whatever is asked of her if time allows, and can give advice if an appointment runs out of time. The expansion reflects strong demand in the area for personalised physiotherapy and rehabilitation.
