What does treatment involve?

Each session begins with a thorough assessment to understand your symptoms, movement, and goals. Treatment typically combines hands-on therapy, targeted rehabilitation exercises, and clear guidance to support your recovery both in clinic and at home.

Will I receive hands-on treatment?

Yes, where appropriate. Hands-on techniques are used to reduce pain, improve mobility, and support recovery, and are always combined with active rehabilitation to achieve lasting results.

Do you provide exercise programmes?

All patients receive a personalised exercise programme tailored to their condition, goals, and lifestyle. These are designed to support your progress between sessions and help you achieve long-term results.

How many sessions will I need?

This depends on your condition, goals, and how your body responds to treatment. A typical journey involves between 6-8 sessions of treatment and re-assessment. After your initial assessment, you will be given a clear plan and realistic expectations for your recovery.
