Your questions answered

I'm not a runner. Can you still help?

Yes. I treat running injuries, but also sports injuries, desk-job aches and everyday pain. If something hurts, stops you moving properly or keeps coming back, it's worth an assessment.

​​

I don't have an injury, it just hurts. Is that enough?

Absolutely. Most people don't remember a specific moment. Pain that's built up over time, like a stiff back, sore knees or tight shoulders, is exactly what physio is for.

​

I've had this pain for years. Is it too late?

No. Long-term pain often has a clear cause that's never been properly looked at. Finding it is the first step to managing or fixing it.

​

I've seen a physio before and it didn't work.

That's common. Often the cause wasn't diagnosed, only the symptoms were treated. Your first session focuses on working out why it hurts before deciding what to do.

​

What actually happens in the first session?

We talk through your symptoms, I assess how you move, and I explain what's going on. Treatment usually starts the same day, with hands-on work and exercises you can do at home.

​

Do I need a GP referral?

No. You can book directly.

​

How many sessions will I need?

It depends on the problem, but you'll leave your first session with a clear plan and an idea of timescale.

​

When is physio not the right first step?

If your pain came with a serious fall, numbness, loss of bladder or bowel control, or you feel generally unwell, see your GP or call 111 first.
