    Our approach

    Three things we won't skip.

    Assess before we treat

    We start with questions and movement tests, not the massage table. If something needs a GP or a scan first, we'll say so.

    Load, don't just rest

    Most tissues recover better with the right amount of work. We find a starting dose you can manage, then build on it.

    You leave with a plan

    Every visit ends with what to do, what to ease off, and when to come back — written down, not just said.

    Your first visit

    Forty-five minutes, roughly like this.

    Wear clothes you can move in. Bring any scans or referral letters you have — they help, but you don't need a referral to see a physio.

    1. 0′

      Arrive

      Come ten minutes early to fill in a short form on your phone.

    2. 5′

      Talk

      What happened, what makes it better or worse, what you want to get back to.

    3. 20′

      Move

      Movement and strength tests — and nerve tests if they're needed.

    4. 30′

      Treat

      Hands-on treatment or exercise, if it's appropriate on the day.

    5. 40′

      Plan

      Your exercises, what to ease off, and when we'll review.
