Physiotherapy for Moodiesburn
Moodiesburn sits where the M73 and M80 come together, which makes it easy to get almost anywhere by car, including the north side of Coatbridge. Chapman Physiotherapy & Performance is based at 10 Cameron Street, and for most people in the village the trip is shorter than a run to the shops in Glasgow.
This page is for anyone in Moodiesburn living with a sore back, a stiff shoulder, a knee that will not settle or an injury that has knocked their routine off course. Kieran Chapman, the physiotherapist who runs the clinic, is HCPC registered and has worked across MSK physiotherapy, orthopaedics, neurological physiotherapy and cardiac rehab. He sees every patient himself, for a full 45 minutes, so you are not explaining your story to a new face each week.

Moodiesburn
Working life and getting outdoors in Moodiesburn
Moodiesburn grew up around coal, and the Auchengeich memorial is a reminder of how physically demanding local work has always been. Today the big employers include Devro, the food manufacturer headquartered at the north eastern end of the village, and Charcon, which makes landscaping products. Factory shifts, lifting, repetitive tasks and long hours on your feet are all common reasons for shoulder, wrist and lower back trouble, and they rarely clear up just by resting at the weekend.
When it comes to staying active, the Strathkelvin Railway Path is signposted towards Moodiesburn and makes a traffic free route north to Kirkintilloch for walking, running or cycling. The council has added a skate park on Kelvin Drive alongside a nearby synthetic football pitch, which keeps younger residents busy, and the open countryside on the edge of the village is popular with walkers. More activity is a good thing, but a jump in mileage or a heavy fall at the skate park can leave you with an injury that needs proper rehab.
Areas covered
- Old Moodiesburn
- Stoneyetts
- Bedlay
- Gartferry
- Auchengeich
- Mollinsburn
Patients are welcome from every part of the village: Old Moodiesburn with its 1950s streets, the Stoneyetts end near the original village crossroads, the Gartferry Road end where the 245 bus starts, and the homes out by Bedlay and Auchengeich. Mollinsburn, near the northern tip of the M73, is close enough to use the same routes south. From any of them, Coatbridge is reached through Gartcosh and Glenboig country rather than through Glasgow traffic.
Treatment
What Kieran can help with
Injury assessment
The first appointment is a thorough injury assessment. Kieran will ask about your work as well as the injury itself, because a production line or a warehouse shift often explains why a shoulder or back keeps flaring up. He then examines how you move and agrees a plan with you.

Rehabilitation
Rehab combines treatment in the clinic with an exercise programme that progresses as you improve. Your exercises sit in your own online account with clear instructions, so you can do them before an early start or after a walk on the railway path without trying to remember what was shown in the session.
More about rehabilitation →
Deep tissue and sports massage
Deep tissue massage works into muscles that have tightened up from repetitive work, while sports massage suits runners, cyclists and footballers who want to recover between sessions. Both can be booked on their own or folded into a rehab plan.

Acupuncture, cupping and taping
Kieran also offers acupuncture, cupping and taping. He will explain what each involves and only suggests them when they fit the problem in front of him.

Questions
Coming from Moodiesburn
Which bus goes from Moodiesburn to Coatbridge?
ARG Travel runs the 132 and 132A via Chryston, Muirhead, Gartcosh and Glenboig, and the 245 and 245A from Gartferry Road via Gartcosh. Both finish in Coatbridge, and timetables can change, so check before you go.
My job involves a lot of lifting. Can physio help?
Physiotherapy can help you understand why lifting is aggravating your symptoms and build strength and movement to cope with it better. Kieran will tailor exercises to the demands of your job rather than giving a generic sheet.
Are there appointments after work?
Yes. The online diary has evening and Saturday appointments, and you can see live availability before you choose a time.
What happens about payment?
New patients pay a deposit when booking online, and that amount comes off the price of the session. After that, returning patients pay at each appointment by cash or card.
What clothes are best for a session?
Something comfortable that lets Kieran see and move the area being treated, such as shorts for a knee problem or a vest top for a shoulder.
