I had three sessions and achieved no results and physiotherapist was unable to give accurate diagnosis , instead she wanted to refer me to my own GP and have scan. that’s disappointment. because upon my research I found that my specific pattern of stabbing pain only upon waking that dissipates once I am active is a recognized variation of Slipping Rib Syndrome, often driven by nocturnal positioning rather than the classic triggers of coughing or deep breathing. During sleep, remaining stationary for hours in a specific posture (such as side-sleeping or stomach-sleeping) can allow the hypermobile rib to subluxate (slip out of place) or settle into a position that compresses the intercostal nerve. The sharp pain I felt in the morning is the result of this prolonged compression and the mechanical irritation of the nerve as I first initiate movement. The reason the pain dissipates throughout the day is that being “out and about” involves constant micro-movements and upright posture, which naturally helps the rib settle back into a more neutral alignment and reduces pressure on the nerve, whereas the static nature of sleep allows the mechanical fault to recur nightly.

The complete disappearance of your pain on the second day after using the Voltarol patch for 12 hours is due to the unique reservoir effect of topical diclofenac. Unlike oral medications that leave the system quickly, the patch delivers a continuous dose of the anti-inflammatory drug deep into the tissues, where it accumulates in the skin and underlying layers to form a therapeutic “reservoir.” Even after the patch is removed, this stored medication continues to release slowly into the affected area, suppressing the prostaglandins (chemicals that cause pain and inflammation) for up to 24 to 48 hours.. I am not in anyway medical and never studied any of the human anatomy. In my case, the 12-hour application likely provided sufficient anti-inflammatory coverage to fully break the cycle of nerve irritation caused by the slipping rib, allowing the inflammation to subside completely while i was active the next day, resulting in total pain relief.

Shishti Shirodaria has been treating my husband and myself for several months. At all times her work ethic has been exemplary. The physiotherapy treatments, for us both, which have been daily for my husband following 2 spinal surgeries, have been extremely effective and beneficial. We are very grateful for the in depth consideration that has been given to both of us.

As well as her professional skill, Shistri is a delight to work with.

Great first session with Mike, he was challenging with where he wanted to push the rehab and clear in what our focus would be over next few weeks.
