Initial Holistic Assessment
Your first visit is a structured one-hour assessment with a senior physiotherapist. We take a detailed history, run posture and movement screens, palpate the painful region, and measure strength, range and joint stability. You leave with a written diagnosis, a session-by-session plan, and a clear estimate of how many visits you'll likely need.

Common reasons people book initial assessment.
Spine
Low back pain
From overnight lockups to long-running disc-related sciatica — the most-treated complaint at the clinic.
Headache & jaw
Neck pain & cervicogenic headaches
Tension that creeps up the back of the skull, behind the eye, and lingers for days. Highly responsive to manual therapy.
Upper limb
Shoulder impingement & rotator cuff
A pinch on overhead reach, weakness brushing your hair, or a deep ache at night when sleeping on the side.
Lower limb
Knee osteoarthritis
Stiffness on standing up, swelling after a long walk, and a knee that no longer trusts the stairs.
Post-surgical
Post-surgical knee (ACL, meniscus, TKR)
Whether you're 22 and post-ACL or 68 and post-replacement, structured rehab decides the outcome.
Upper limb
Tennis & padel elbow
A sharp pinch on the outside of the elbow with grip — and worse the day after a long padel match.
Lower limb
Plantar fasciitis & heel pain
That first-step-out-of-bed stab on the heel — relieved short-term by walking, made worse long-term by ignoring.
Women's health
Postnatal recovery & diastasis
Pelvic floor retraining, abdominal wall reconnection, and a return to running plan that respects your body.
Lower limb
Runner's knee (PFPS)
Diffuse pain around or behind the kneecap, worse going downhill or down stairs.
Post-surgical
Post-stroke neuro rehab
Selected adult neuro rehabilitation — gait, upper-limb function, and home-environment coaching for families.
