Physiotherapy, individual advice and a personalised plan
We discuss what may be causing your symptoms, what recovery typically looks like, how long it may take, and whether your situation differs from the usual course. We also consider what you can do yourself and which treatment options are available.
Understanding your symptoms and what you can do about them is important for lasting progress
.Manual therapy
Manual therapy can form part of your assessment and treatment, depending on your symptoms. We select techniques from orthopaedic manual therapy (IMTA, OMT and IAOM) and other established approaches, including Mulligan, Cyriax, FDM and Böger, to ease pain and improve mobility. We combine manual therapy with exercises tailored to you and your condition.
Active therapy
Targeted training and an individual exercise programme can help you:
• Build your tolerance for physical activity.
• Change movement patterns that contribute to symptoms.
• Regain comfortable, natural movement.
• Strengthen weaker muscle groups.
• Reduce or overcome fear of movement.
Progressive exercise and training at home
Persistent symptoms often take time to improve and may require a gradual increase in activity. To support lasting progress, we develop an exercise or training programme for home, work or the gym.
We guide you through progressive training after an accident or illness, or when you have persistent symptoms, and help you find the right level of activity and pace of progression.
Working with other specialists
We work closely with other healthcare disciplines and specialists. Collaboration is particularly important when symptoms are complex. We take time to discuss individual cases with our multidisciplinary team or with relevant specialists.
Persistent pain, complex symptoms and multiple conditions
Examples include persistent or recurring back, knee and shoulder pain, complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), and difficulties with exertion during or after serious illness.
