‘Create the environment and the body will heal itself’
About Three Sixty Rehab
Three Sixty Rehab was formed in May 2017 as an innovative ‘Movement Clinic’, which uses ‘Advanced Physical Therapy’ (a combination of Neuroscience and Human Biomechanics) to treat a broad range of pain complaints and movement dysfunctions.
The model created by Three Sixty Rehab was formulated over 17 years. We combine a mixture of exercise therapy with the most up to date therapeutic techniques available. We begin the assessment with an in depth discussion focussed on finding out as much information as possible regarding your ‘pain history’. This is followed by a full body biomechanical screening process so we can start to see the level of dysfunction in the system and then work out the root cause of your presenting pain/movement complaint. Rather than treating the symptoms with no real meaningful change, we go straight for the reason your body isn’t working properly. This allows for a long term solution to your pain complaint.
The paradigm of thinking is based on the philosophy that ‘the body heals itself’, we just need to create the environment.
The comprehensive system employed fully utilises both functional biomechanics and applied neurology to treat the body as a whole but linking closely; the brain, nervous system (software) and the body’s physical parts and the collective ‘kinematic chain’. This integrated approach allows us to view your body’s current operating state from the standpoint of the software and hardware, much like the computer analogy. So many ‘dysfunctions’ originate from the brain and it still doesn’t get the recognition it deserves, nor are they treat as fast as they can be, which is why so often surgical intervention or medication is unsuccessful in many cases. Think ‘iceberg’ and your onto the right path: only 10% sits above the surface which is the painful body parts - the other 90% exists in the super complex brain/nervous system - We treat that as the priority.
The application of some highly effective skills and treatment modalities integrated into movement strategies help us to essentially ‘re-program’ the body to move more efficiently and promote overall health and well being. Throughout the whole process our clients are educated towards their ‘pain puzzle’ whilst recieving their unique therapy package best suited to ensure optimal outcome.
The strategy includes a wide array of hands on therapy including (but not limited to):
advanced neurological techniques
Phase IV Laser Therapy, functional movement training
advanced soft tissue therapy
prescribed exercise
This is to help build resilience and prevent the return of a specific pain problem. This fully comprehensive system has proven highly effective both in bringing about rapid short term response as well as a long term resolution whereby clients continue to not only become pain free, but go on to be more active than ever before.
A solid reputation has been built using this model since its inception six years ago, which is very encouraging.
About the Founder
Prior to starting Three Sixty Rehab, Mark served in the Royal Navy as a specialist Exercise Rehabilitation Instructor and operated within in large multidisciplinary clinics, and lead clinician in the prestigious Britannia Royal Naval Officer Training College and Hasler Company, a complex trauma unit for the casualties of the Afghanistan Campaign.
The diverse skills required to operate at this level set the tone what Three Sixty Rehab could become - innovative pain relief and highly effective restoration of movement dysfunction. A guaranteed remedy for success!
Mark’s dedication to help those suffering from both complex trauma and chronic pain conditions was recognised during this time and he received the Second Sea Lord’s commendation for services above and beyond the line of duty.
He states;
“As a fellow serviceman and knowing the roles our guys had to perform in often poor conditions, I held them in great esteem and always wanted to provide them with the best care I could”. I have always had an empathy for those in pain and I decided that I would be the best I possibly could. It never sat well with me that people would suffering with pain or dysfunction only to be offered basic and often ineffective treatments or generic exercise programmes. Unfortunately the military was slow to accept the application of the many emerging practices in the neurological field and curtailed any application which is why a decision was made to leave and start a cutting edge clinic that could deliver advanced therapy with no hinderance”.
“The need to learn how we ‘really’ move and ‘function better’ has led me on a fascinating and highly insightful journey! I am becoming the clinician I knew I could be. I travelled to America to Study functional biomechanics with the Gray Institute which was a revelation in terms of knowledge and paradigm shifting. Once I had grasped how the body actually moved instead of ‘what the books said’ I was quickly able to resolve issues that would previously dogged me. Following the movement skills training I turned my attention to neuroscience and studied various forms of applied neurology strategies such as: ‘Applied Movement Neurology (AMN)’, Proprioceptive Deep Tendon Reflex therapy (PDTR) Integrated kinetic neurology (IKN) . Using this completely radical understanding of how amazing our bodies are, we can set about working directly with the nervous system and discover deep rooted problems but also treat at that deeper level. We can then quickly and effectively ‘reboot’ your nervous system and optimise its recovery.
“People are seriously getting their lives back after these treatments”
“I am very proud to work the way I do and meet amazing people everyday who deserve to live the best life they can - I take huge satisfaction in playing a part in that for sure. I look forward to taking Three Sixty Rehab into the future and promote it as the new ‘optimal health’ model for pain and performance within this industry”.
