Your Personal Physiotherapist at Total Physio

Hi, I’m Dr Harun Dere, HCPC-registered physiotherapist and a member of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (MCSP). I hold a PhD in Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation and a master’s degree in chiropractic, and additional postgraduate training in advanced medical acupuncture and joint injection therapies and I am actively involved in ongoing research, with national and international publications and book chapters.

I work at Total Physio, helping people move better, feel stronger, and get back to living their lives without pain.

Whether your pain started suddenly, has been bothering you for years, or keeps coming back no matter what you try — you’re not alone. And more importantly, you don’t have to live with it.

What Can I Help You With?

I treat a wide range of muscle, joint and nerve problems, including:

Back pain & neck pain
Shoulder pain & frozen shoulder
Knee, hip & ankle problems
Joint injections, including corticosteroid and hyaluronic acid injections
Sports injuries
Sciatica & nerve pain
Postural pain (desk work, long hours, stress-related pain)
Arthritis & joint stiffness
Long-term (chronic) pain conditions
Post-injury or post-surgery rehabilitation
Neurological conditions (e.g. stroke, nerve-related movement problems)
Geriatric physiotherapy (mobility, balance, falls prevention)
Paediatric physiotherapy (Developmental delays, sports-related injuries in young people)
Vertigo treatment (Epley manoeuvre)
Migraine treatment with acupuncture
Scoliosis management using the Schroth Method
Pelvic health physiotherapy, including pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain, pelvic floor dysfunction and urinary incontinence assessment and treatment

If pain is stopping you from working, exercising, sleeping well or enjoying daily life — that’s where I step in.

My Approach: Not Just Treating Pain, But the Cause

I don’t believe in “quick fixes” that only mask symptoms.

Every session starts with a thorough assessment to understand:

Why you have pain
Where it’s coming from
What is keeping it from healing

Then I create a personalised treatment plan, designed specifically for your body, your lifestyle and your goals.

No generic exercises.

No rushed appointments.

Just focused, one-to-one care.

Advanced Treatments I Offer

To get the best results, I combine hands-on treatment with modern, evidence-based techniques:

🔹 Advanced Acupuncture

Effective for pain relief, muscle tension, nerve pain and long-standing conditions. Many patients feel relief even after the first sessions.

🔹 Joint Injections

For selected joint conditions, injections can help reduce pain and inflammation, allowing you to move more freely and progress faster with rehabilitation.

🔹 Kinesiology Taping

Supports muscles and joints, reduces pain and swelling, and helps you stay active during recovery.

🔹 Manual Therapy & Chiropractic Techniques

Hands-on techniques to improve joint movement, release tight muscles and restore normal function.

🔹 Exercise-Based Rehabilitation

Simple, clear and effective exercises you can actually stick to — designed to keep results long-term, not temporary.

🔹 Pelvic Health Physiotherapy

Specialised assessment and treatment for pelvic floor dysfunction, pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain, urinary incontinence and postnatal recovery. Treatment is tailored to improve comfort, confidence, core stability and quality of life.
