Let our evidence based practices guide you back to a pain free active lifestyle
How We Achieve Best Outcomes
Patient Centred Care
We provide patients with 1hr initial consultations and 45min follow-up consultations
Longer initial consultations permit patients to explain their presentation fully without interruption. This enables our clinicians to better understand your presentation and perform more comprehensive assessments
Longer follow up consultations permit patients to complete rehabilitation programmes one-on-one fully under the guidance of our physiotherapists
This Preston based Private Physiotherapy Practice provides its patients with access to a fully equipped gym as well as private in-room consultations
Exercise and Hands-On Approach to Rehabilitation
We recognise that exercise uniquely empowers a patient to take control of their rehabilitation. Our physios are expertly qualified in formulating exercise programmes that are uniquely tailored to a patient’s goals. Spiral Physiotherapy feels that guided rehabilitation is a key step in returning a patient to everyday activities as well as sport and work
We recognise that manual or hands-on therapy is helpful in facilitating activity. Our physios are experienced in several hands-on and manual therapy techniques designed to decrease a person’s pain symptoms and aid with restoring range of movement and function
Our physios are qualified in dry needling techniques, which has been associated with providing short term pain relief and facilitating function
Education
Spiral Physiotherapy acknowledges that when a patient presents to a physio or allied health practitioner they are often in pain and wish to know how best to treat/manage their condition so they can return to their normal lifestyle
Spiral Physiotherapy acknowledges that in vulnerable states the language we use matters
Spiral Physiotherapy acknowledges that the use of medical jargon is often confusing and often unhelpful.
This is why our physiotherapists utilise plain language when guiding our patients on their rehabilitation journey
Evidence-Based Practices
We are committed to implementing treatments based in current scientific evidence. Our physios regularly engage in up to date scientific research studies to bring our patients the most effective treatments
We are committed to implementing clinical expertise. Our physios are experienced in working with a multitude of different patient populations
We are committed to implementing practices that respect a patient’s autonomy. Our physios recognise that one size does not fit all and, we are committed to providing our patients with individualised treatment programmes
We are committed to ongoing personal development. Our physios engage in regular personal development courses to stay up to date with the latest research and treatment techniques

Meet The Team
Daniel Gilham (Director and Physiotherapist)
Dan graduated from La Trobe University with a double degree in Applied Sciences and Master in Physiotherapy Practice. His physio pursuits were catalysed by an ACL injury (incurred during competitive basketball) and a wish to aid patients with their own rehabilitative goals. This lead to Dan’s transition from work as a qualified electrician to a career in Physiotherapy.
Dan strives to approach physiotherapy in a very patient-centred manner. Nothing pleases him more than seeing his patients achieve their goals. Dan has worked closely with basketballers, footballers, swimmers and powerlifters. Consequently, he has strong understandings in biomechanics, load management and related programming. Dan takes immense satisfaction from implementing evidence-based practices in the treatment of acute/persistent pain, muscular strains, ligamentous sprains, tendon/fasciopathies and joint pathologies.
