Willenhall has made locks for more than 400 years, and its people know about skilled hands and hard-working backs. Our HCPC-registered physiotherapists are only minutes away at our Walsall base. No GP referral is needed, and travel is included.

Willenhall has been a centre of the British lock industry for over 400 years. In the 16th century it was granted the privilege of making all locks for government use, and for generations much of the work happened in small workshops behind people’s homes.
The Locksmith’s House shows how it worked. The Hodson family made locks there, in a firm that dates back to 1792, and the house is presented as it looked around 1905. The Black Country Living Museum runs it and publishes its opening dates.
Locksmiths spent long hours bent over the bench, and the town was once nicknamed “Humpshire”. We know a stiff back when we see one, and we are glad to help with the aches that come from a working life.
Four areas we focus on in Willenhall. Each one links to the full guide.
We focus on progressive weight-bearing, bringing the thigh muscles back to life, and settling swelling and scar tissue. We practise safe stair use in your own home.
First month’s aimSteady weight through the leg, a knee that bends further, and the stairs managed safely.
What happens after a joint replacementYears of heavy or repetitive work can leave backs, shoulders and joints stiff and sore. We find what is irritating them, treat it and teach you how to move and pace yourself so it eases.
First month’s aimA clearer idea of what helps, and less stiffness at the start of the day.
Joint pain treatment at homeGetting out of a chair, onto the toilet or in and out of bed can become hard. We train safe transfers, and show family or carers how to help without strain.
First month’s aimSafer, easier transfers that make daily life less of a struggle.
Elderly rehabilitation at homeWe rebuild movement and strength in the affected arm and leg, practising the things you need to do at home, from reaching to standing and walking.
First month’s aimAgreed goals, safe movement around the house, and a first routine you can follow.
