Why Your Sports Injury Does Not Settle On Its Own
Many people expect sports injury to fade with time, yet for some it lingers for weeks or months.
This is rarely because the body cannot heal, but more often because recovery is unintentionally delayed.
Using pain relief as the main solution
Medication can dull symptoms, but it does not correct what is causing the pain in the first place.
Avoiding movement for too long
Although rest can feel helpful early on, prolonged inactivity often leads to stiffness and slower progress.
Repeating the same medical route
Seeing the GP again often results in more medication or reassurance, rather than a clear plan to resolve the issue.
Trying one size fits all advice
General tips or exercises are not matched to your specific problem and can place extra strain on your back.

Frequently asked questions
What conditions do you treat?
We help with a wide range of problems including back pain, neck pain, joint pain, sports injuries, muscle strains, and long term aches and pains that have not settled on their own.
Do I need a GP referral to see a physiotherapist?
No. You can book directly with us without seeing your GP first. This means you can start treatment sooner and get a clear plan straight away.
How many sessions will I need?
This depends on your injury, how long you have had it, and your goals. Some people feel improvement quickly, while others benefit from a structured plan over several sessions. We will discuss this with you after your first appointment.
What happens at the first appointment?
Your first session includes a full assessment to understand what is causing your pain, followed by hands on treatment and clear advice on what to do next. You will leave knowing what is wrong and how we plan to help.
Will physiotherapy be painful?
Physiotherapy should not be painful, but you may feel some temporary discomfort as your body adapts. We always work within your comfort level and explain what to expect throughout treatment.
