Murray specialises in sports injuries as well as pain conditions stemming from desk-based work. Murray helps with a wide-range of acute and chronic conditions and occasionally will refer patients for NHS and private imaging for further investigation. In 2020, Murray has referred a total of 13 patients for further investigation (MRI imaging) of the lower back of which 100% have had significant pathological findings related to their pain. This neurodynamic testing and attention to pain behaviour patterns has resulted in a much more specific and non-surgical rehabilitation for these patients - most are already recovered or seeing progress. With extensive clinical experience in biomechanics and functional assessment, Murray is often an identifier of underlying factors that cause predisposition to pain or repetitive injury. Murray enjoys educating patients on their diagnosis and providing a comprehensive prognosis - all whilst having a laugh too. |
