  • Clinical reasoning: We explain what’s driving your pain in plain English and rule out red flags.

  • Immediate treatment: Hands-on therapy and targeted exercises to settle symptoms and get you moving.

  • Your plan: A simple, phased programme with how often to do it and when we’ll review.

  • Next steps: Timeframes, expected progress, and when we’ll progress or taper sessions.

How many sessions will I need?

It depends on your condition and goals. Many straightforward issues improve over a few weeks with consistent rehab; longer-standing problems may need a steadier build and periodic reviews. We’ll agree a realistic timeline at your first appointment and adjust as you progress.
