We start with a detailed history, examination and (if needed) imaging. You’ll receive a clear, written plan outlining your diagnosis, goals and next steps.

2) Personalised Rehabilitation

Your program may include manual therapy, exercise prescription, load management, mobility and strength work, pacing strategies, and education to support self‑management.

3) Team‑Based Progress Reviews

Your GP, physiotherapist and (when required) orthopaedic surgeon coordinate care, share updates and adjust your plan so treatment stays aligned with your goals and progress.

We provide structured, graded plans for a safe and sustainable return to activity, including workplace suitable‑duties planning or sport‑specific re‑conditioning.
