About Spine Works

Key Services :


Gerry started the business in 1995 and is a Graduate of Edge Hill University with a BSC (Hons) Degree in Sports Therapy. Spine Works has 25 years of experience delivering Complementary Therapies and provides comprehensive, innovative and individually tailored treatments to clients throughout the area. The company operates from his home based clinic in Waterloo (Liverpool).

Spine Works is a member of The Federation of Holistic Therapies and The Dorn Method Therapists Association.

Spine Works utilises a wide range of scientific and evidence based protocols to assesses each patient as an individual, then using this information to individually tailor a personal treatment for that patient, which will address the specific physical imbalances that are causing their ill health.

The treatment is safe, making it suitable for all, regardless of age or gender and is quickly effective in both reducing their pain and / or stiffness and increasing their range of movement, while improving their health, promoting recovery and well being.

Gerry's Practise is based within his home in Waterloo L22. He has been involved in the Complementary and Alternative Medicine Sector for over two decades.

He is a vastly experienced, knowledgeable, qualified and insured Sports Therapist and CAM practitioner who is fully accrediated and has previously been involved both the delivery and teaching of alternative therapies.

Spine Works is thrieving and has an ever growing list of patients. These are mostly from from The Merseyside Area, but increasing patients are attending for further afield in the North West. Gerry's oldest patient to date was a 93 year old, former Coal Miner and one of his youngest was 10yr old Warrington boy, who now is one of the Male dancers in "The Bolshoi Ballet School" in Moscow.

Successfully treated patients come from all backgrounds including The Armed Forces, The Ambulance, Fire and Police Services, The NHS, Building Trades, Teaching, Legal, Sports Athletes, Administrative workers, Children and Students.

The treatment on offer from Spine Works is derived from both experiences and knowledge gained over the last twenty three years and from treating many hundreds of patients. To do this, Gerry combines various techniques and modalities which help the patient get well.
He always says, he doesn't cure or fix a patient, they do that themselves, as he only helps bring their problems to the attention of their immune system and they fix and heal themselves.

Patients often say what Gerry does is a new experience to them, even if they have had previous body work and it wasn't what they expected beforehand. Some patients with prior experiences of treatments attend expecting another soft, gentle, relaxing massage, but that's not Spine Works is about.
Yes, Gerry can do that style of body work, but that alone won't make patients physically better, whereas this treatment approach will.
That's a promise he can and will make to patients. Thus far, no one has said this approach didn't improve their condition.

So, call for a chat and working together, you can and will become well.

Dear all, After graduating from 4 years of University study to obtain my BSc Degree in Sports Therapy.
I would like to address and answer a question I commonly get asked.

"What is a Sports Therapist and what do I offer ?"

People are often confused when I say I’m a Sports Therapist, as to what that actually means.
Am I a type of Physio ? Do I only do massage ? What is it Sports Therapy ?

Simply stated, a Sports Therapist is a Healthcare Professional, similar to a Physiotherapist, but with a specific interest and focus on the treatment and rehabilitation of sporting conditions and injuries.

Throughout my studies, I have the gained the ability, knowledge and skills to assess, optimise, rehabilitate and treat lifestyle, occupational, sports and work injuries. These can be performed in either a Clinical or a pitch side or club sporting setting.

I effectively provide assessment and treatment of a variety of musculoskeletal conditions. Alongside these skills, I can deliver injury prevention advice, treatment sessions and even perform sports massage if appropriate.

The treatment I offer is very similar to Physiotherapy, however it is tailored more towards working with patients within a sporting environment and population. Just like a Physiotherapist, I often see and treat both amateur athletes and sports people. However, I am equally well equipped to help non-sporting people too. The majority of the patients I see in my private practise, often come to see me for treatment with an occupational or work related injury or problem.

I hope this assists in your decision making and recovery.
Gerry.

After having a new knee five and a half months ago and needing the other one doing, l've been having trouble with walking sleeping and all sorts of other Irritating problems. I have been to see Gerry at Spineworks for one session and had the beast nights sleep I've had for ages. I I'm a Pessimist through and through. But if it works, just do it.

Had my assessment with Gerry yesterday. It certainly was the most thorough I have ever had and fully explained. I feel more confident that this is the thing that may finally help with my chronic back pain. Will be following all advice given and look forward to seeing (feeling) the results will certainly be back for recommended follow up treatments.

Gerry has a friendly manor which imeadiatly puts you at ease. He takes care to explain in detail his techniques as he assess you which helps you understand how your body works and why it sometimes doesn't. He takes a whole body approach which means he can spot underlying issues which you may not be fully aware of. I went with some shoulder pain. And as well as diagnosing and treating that he picked up on some back and posture issues I had. Once he had highlighted them and followed the exercise he recommended, my general stiffness and overall mobility have improved noticeably. Thanks, Gerry.
Response : Hi Paul, Many thanks for your prompt feedback and kind thoughts. I'm happy we could assist with the problem and reduce your pain. Carry on the good work. We're here if you need anything. Take care. Nollaig Shona and a Happy New YearGerry Spine Works Therapy.

I have known Gerry for many years and have had the privilege of working with him and training with him on the mat. During our long history, my wife and I have visited Gerry for therapy related sessions due to long standing car crash injuries to my wife and work-related injuries to myself on two occasions. Gerry’s knowledge of the mechanics of the body and the techniques required to help and assist the body to repair itself are second to none. If you are in pain and don’t know the answer a quick phone call, reassurance and a visit might just be the unexpected outcome you have been waiting for. Well done G and all the best for the New year. Team M.

I had been troubled by pain and discomfort in my lower back for ages. Had the usual physio and massages but nothing really changed then I had a consultation with Gerry. Wow! He explored my history and asked in depth questions about the issues, my health and what triggered the discomfort. He is so calm and methodical in his approach and I was immediately put at ease. The physical examination was like nothing I’d experienced and was a top to toe exploration of my range of movement, muscle function and flexibility (or lack off). Although my pain and discomfort was lower back, Gerry identified the cause was elsewhere and causing the pain. He explained everything in detail and it was a real ‘lightbulb’ moment and it all made sense. I was given some manipulation and my flexibility and range of movement was increased there and then. I felt immediate relief and had a fantastic nights sleep!Gerry has given me some simple exercises and followed this up with diagrams. I walked away as if I didn’t have a care in the world. 24 hours later and my discomfort that triggered my consultation is almost gone. I’m rebooked for a further consultation and I’d highly recommend Gerry.Moreexpand_more

Margaret Rothwell
Liverpool
I was recommended by a family member. Did not know what to expect. Was given an assessment with questions first then an overall look at my physical issues. Gerry explained how scientifically how your body works, and everything became a lot clearer. There were instant fixes to my back issues. And was given exercise to do to ensure my healing process continues. It was a whole new concept of looking out the box, that was very successful in reducing my back pain. Thank you so much.
Response : Hello MargiThank you for your kind feedback and comments Cheers Gerry.
Brian Cowley
Liverpool
Went to see Gerry on the recommendation of a friend. I didn't really know what to expect, but, at the end of the session I was more than satisfied. Gerry carried out a full assessment of my back problem which included question and answers and a physical session. Gerry was very professional in everyway and also devised an exercise programme for me. I will definitely be using Gerrys services again for a follow up session and recommending him in the future.
Response : Hello Brian,Thank you for your feedback and recommendation. I'm glad that you found the session both beneficial and informative. I'm glad that we could help and that you are feeling better. Remember to keep doing the exercises and feel free to contact us if you require anything. Take careGerry.

Wow ? Known Gerry for many years and each time I go to see him about an issue am having with my body or mind I always come away feeling like a new man ready to tackle anything that comes my way. As an ex wrestler of over twenty years my body has had its fair share of trauma and Gerry has put me back onto the road to recovery ready to step into the ring once more. Long-standing injuries have never felt better and wow that pop when you fixed my neck was amazing Thank you so much for everything you do Gerry you really are the best.
