How we treat an injury

01Shoulder

Pain shows up in one spot

Maybe a shoulder, a knee, or the lower back — where the body signals first.
02Lower back

But the cause often lies elsewhere

We assess how your whole body moves — from the core outward.
03Knee

We retrain the pattern

With DNS and targeted exercise, we rebuild stable movement from the root up.
04Ankle

You move forward

Step by step, back to the activities you love.

Other guides for this service

Padel & Racquet-Sport Injuries: Padel feels easier than tennis, and that is exactly the problem. The court is smaller, the ball comes off the walls, and your body stops and turns far more often than you notice.
Returning to Sport After Injury: The question is not "how many months has it been" but "what can you do now". This page covers the criteria used, the numbers behind them, and why the numbers alone are not enough.
Pain from Desk Work: The neck, shoulders and low back that start complaining after eight hours at a screen. This page covers what has actually been shown to help — and why it is not a new chair.
Posture Check & Correction: We do check posture — but not to match you against a picture of an "ideal" one. What we look for is which positions your body avoids, and why.
Scoliosis: A spine that curves sideways. This page covers how to spot it, the numbers that decide treatment, and how far exercise genuinely goes.

See a doctor first if

Severe pain after a fall or accident — a fracture must be ruled out
Leg weakness that is getting worse, or any change in bladder or bowel control
Numbness around the groin or inner thighs
Fever together with back pain
Unexplained weight loss, or pain that is worse at night, when you are resting
One leg that is swollen, hot and red

What a session looks like

The first session includes a thorough assessment (60–90 minutes). Please bring any previous test results (e.g. X-ray/MRI).

Frequently asked questions

Does a pinched nerve (HNP) have to be operated on?

Most HNP complaints improve with conservative management, that is without surgery, and that is where physiotherapy comes in: easing pain, restoring movement and building the spine's resilience so the problem is less likely to return. The decision to operate belongs to a specialist doctor. Go to a doctor or the emergency department (IGD) at once if bladder or bowel control is affected, leg weakness is getting worse, or the groin or inner thighs go numb; our HNP article explains all three.

Do I need a referral or an X-ray/MRI first?

A referral is not required. Previous results such as an X-ray or MRI are not required either, but if you have them, bring them, though a scan does not always explain the pain; changes on MRI are common in people with no symptoms. The assessment still forms the basis of the plan, because the source of pain is often not where it hurts.

How long is the first session, and what happens in it?

The first session lasts 60–90 minutes and is almost entirely assessment: where the pain comes from, what triggers it, and what you actually want to be able to do again. From that we build the plan, and therapy begins.

Does the therapy hurt?

Exercises and manual therapy are matched to what you can do today, and you can stop at any point. Some techniques, dry needling for example, can leave mild soreness for 24–48 hours; that is usually a normal response. Tell us if pain increases instead, or a new complaint appears.

When should I see a doctor first rather than coming straight to physiotherapy?

Among others: when pain follows a serious injury or a fall, comes with fever, bladder or bowel problems, numbness around the groin or inner thighs, weakness and numbness that are getting worse, or one leg that is swollen, hot and red. The Orthopedic Assessment guide on this page has the full list; if in doubt, ask on WhatsApp and we will help you sort it out.
