02Your first appointment
45 minutes, from the first question to your exercise sheet.

What happened, what makes it worse, what you need to get back to. Bring a list of any medicines you take.

We watch how you move
You move, we measure. A goniometer gives the range in degrees, so next time we can see what has changed.

We treat
Usually hands-on work on the plinth: joint mobilisation, soft-tissue work, or moving the joint for you.

35–42 min
We show you what to do
Two or three exercises, practised until they feel right. Sets, reps and how often, in plain numbers.
-
42–45 min
We agree a plan
How many sessions we expect, what to do in between, and the sheet with your exercises, printed or emailed.

06Questions
What people ask before they book.
No. You can book yourself in. If your insurer asks for a GP referral, they'll tell you when you call them.
Something that lets us see the area that hurts: shorts for knees and hips, a vest top or T-shirt for necks and shoulders. There's a changing area if you'd rather bring them.
Some tests and treatments are uncomfortable for a moment. We tell you before we do anything, and you can stop us at any time.
We give you our estimate at the first appointment and review it every time. Some people need one visit and a good exercise plan; most need between two and six.
