What It Is and Who It’s For

Physiotherapy is a hands-on and exercise-based approach to injury, pain and movement problems. It combines assessment of how you move, manual techniques to ease pain and restriction, and a structured exercise plan built around your goals, whether that is returning to running, getting back on the mat, or simply moving more comfortably day to day.

It suits a wide range of people: athletes and gym-goers managing an overuse injury, office workers with neck or back pain from long days at a desk, people recovering from surgery, and anyone dealing with a new or ongoing ache that is limiting what they can do. You do not need to be “sporty” or in acute pain to benefit. Many of the people we see are simply trying to move a little more freely.

Treatment methods

How we treat you

01Manual therapyHands-on techniques including joint mobilisation and soft tissue work to ease pain, reduce stiffness and improve movement.
02Exercise rehabilitationIndividually structured exercise programmes that build strength and control, progressed as you improve towards your specific goals.
03Education and advicePractical guidance on managing your condition day to day, including load management for training, work and everyday activity.

What to expect at your first visit

Your first appointment starts with a conversation about your injury, your goals and your general activity levels, whether that is training for a half marathon or getting back to picking up your children comfortably. Your physiotherapist will then carry out a physical assessment, looking at movement, strength and function relevant to your problem.

From there, you will usually leave your first session with some initial hands-on treatment, a clear explanation of what is going on, and the first steps of an exercise plan to start working on between visits. We will also talk through how many sessions are likely to be useful, so there are no surprises about the process ahead.

“I cannot recommend Joana highly enough. From my first appointment, Joana was professional, knowledgeable and genuinely invested in my recovery. She took the time to thoroughly assess my injury, explained the cause and created a tailored plan which resulted in a full recovery.”

“Joana is a wonderful physio! She guided me through my entire rehabilitation following ankle surgery. I started out in a wheelchair, and within just a handful of weeks, I was back to exercising thanks to her extensive hands-on treatment.”

“Sajj is honestly second to none! I'm a runner and work in finance so suffer from various pains from hip bursitis to neck pain due to stress and everything in between… Sajj (unlike many physios) takes a holistic approach and really reads into the root cause.”

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a GP referral to see a physiotherapist?
No. You can book directly with us at Better Flow without a referral from your GP.
How many sessions will I need?
This varies by condition and how long you have had it. Your physiotherapist will give you a realistic idea after your first assessment, and you are never committed beyond a single session at a time.
What should I wear to my appointment?
Loose, comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the area being assessed, such as shorts for a knee or hip problem.
Can physiotherapy help with a long-standing problem, not just a new injury?
Yes. We regularly help people with ongoing or recurring issues, including old sports injuries and chronic pain, alongside newer injuries.
Do you treat runners and athletes specifically?
Running and sports rehab is one of our strongest areas. Several of our team have a specific interest in return-to-sport and return-to-running rehabilitation, alongside general MSK physiotherapy.
