Patient Success Stories
Frequently Asked Questions
How is physiotherapy different from chiropractic, osteopathy, or sports massage therapy?
Physiotherapy focuses on evidence-based assessment, diagnosis, and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal and neurological conditions. We take a holistic and active approach to recovery through hands-on treatment, exercise prescription, education, and movement retraining. While chiropractors and osteopaths also use manual therapy, they often emphasise spinal manipulation. Sports massage therapists specialise in soft tissue techniques for recovery and maintenance but most do not provide diagnosis or structured rehab planning. Physiotherapists are HCPC-registered healthcare professionals trained to assess and manage a wide range of conditions safely and effectively.
What can I expect at my first appointment?
Your initial appointment includes a full assessment, discussion of your symptoms, and a treatment session. As needed, we’ll explore your movement, strength, and posture, and provide a clear explanation of our findings and plan. Treatment usually begins on day one. You’ll receive a digital initial assessment form to complete prior to your appointment; this helps us make the most of your time in the clinic.
How many sessions will I need?
This varies depending on your condition, goals, and how your body responds to treatment. On average, patients attend 4–6 sessions, but some may need fewer or more. We’ll review your progress regularly and tailor your plan accordingly. There’s no need to book a block of sessions in advance.
What should I wear to my appointment?
Please wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows us to assess and treat the affected area. For example, shorts for a knee issue or a vest top for shoulder or neck problems. We can provide towels or coverings as needed for comfort and privacy.
