Didsbury, Manchester
Hour-long appointments, the same therapist from assessment to discharge, and a plan written in language you can follow on a Tuesday night at home.
What we treat
If what you have is not on this list, ring us. Half of what we do is telling people honestly whether physiotherapy is the right answer.
The everyday things — a back that went in the garden, a knee that will not settle, a shoulder that has been bad for two years. Assessment, hands-on treatment and a plan you can do at home.
Structured rehabilitation after joint replacement, ligament reconstruction or spinal surgery, working to your surgeon’s protocol and reporting back to them.
Getting you back to the thing you actually want to do, with objective testing rather than a guess about whether you are ready.
Pelvic health, back pain in pregnancy and structured postnatal recovery, in a room where you are welcome to bring the baby.
Your first visit
No mystery, no upselling. Here is the whole thing, start to finish.
Book online or ring reception. If you are not sure we are right for you, say so and we will tell you honestly.
A full hour. History, movement testing, hands-on examination, and an explanation of what we think is going on in plain words.
You leave with a written plan, a realistic timeframe, and exercises filmed on the day so you know exactly what they should look like.
Usually three to six sessions, spaced further apart as you improve. We tell you when to stop coming rather than waiting for you to decide.
A discharge summary for you and your GP, and a free check-in call at six weeks to make sure it held.
The team
Five clinicians. You see the same one every visit — continuity is most of what makes rehabilitation work.
Clinical Director
Twenty years in musculoskeletal physiotherapy, eight of them in an NHS spinal service. Co-founded the clinic in 2016.
Physiotherapist
Sports and post-operative rehabilitation. Spent six seasons with a professional rugby side and still tapes better than anyone here.
Pelvic Health Lead
Pregnancy, postnatal and pelvic health. Runs the postnatal recovery programme and the Saturday clinic.
Strength & Rehab Coach
Takes over when the hands-on work is done and the loading needs to get serious. Runs the gym floor.
Good to know
All of it stated plainly, because nobody should have to phone a clinic to find out how much it costs.
You can book directly with us. If your insurer requires a GP referral we will tell you before you pay for anything.
What you see under Fees is what you pay. No consultation fee on top, no package you have to buy up front.
Bupa, AXA Health, Aviva, Vitality and WPA, billed directly so you are not out of pocket while a claim processes.
Every appointment is a full hour with one clinician. We do not run two treatment rooms at once.
Most people need three to six sessions. If you do not need to come back, we will say so at the end of the appointment.
A free call six weeks after discharge to make sure the improvement held and nothing has crept back.

Patients
The first appointment was the first time anyone had explained what was actually wrong with my back rather than just poking it.
I saw Priya through pregnancy and after. I brought the baby to every session and nobody once made me feel awkward about it.
Discharged after four sessions when I fully expected to be sold twelve. That is why I have sent four people here since.
Callum got me back on a bike after a knee reconstruction, and made me prove I was ready rather than guess.
Opening
Early mornings and evenings exist so you do not have to take a day off work for a physiotherapy appointment.

Questions
No. You can book directly. Some insurance policies require a referral before they will reimburse — we will check that with you before your first appointment rather than after.
Most people need between three and six. We will give you an honest estimate at the end of the assessment, and if it turns out to be fewer we will discharge you early.
Assessment can be uncomfortable because we need to reproduce your symptoms to understand them. Treatment should not be painful, and nothing happens without us explaining it first.
Something you can move in and that lets us see the area — shorts for a knee or hip, a vest top for a shoulder. There are changing rooms and spare kit if you have come from work.
Bupa, AXA Health, Aviva, Vitality and WPA are billed directly. We can invoice any other insurer for you to claim back, and we will give you the codes they ask for.
Yes. There is a play corner in reception and babies are welcome in any appointment, particularly the postnatal ones.
Get in touch
If you are not sure whether we are the right people, write and ask. We would rather send you somewhere better than take a booking we cannot help with.
