Your first visit
Forty five minutes, all about you
No rush, no conveyor belt. Here is what happens from the moment you walk in.
We listen
Your story first: when it started, what makes it better or worse, your work, your sport, your worries. Bring any scans or letters.
We look at how you move
Simple movement, strength and nerve checks. You stay in comfortable clothes; shorts and a vest top are ideal.
We explain what we found
In plain words, with a drawing if it helps. If anything needs a doctor or a scan first, we tell you and write a letter.
We agree a plan together
How many sessions, how often, what you can do at home. Your plan is reviewed at every visit and can change.
You start moving
Most people leave with two or three exercises on a printed sheet and a video on WhatsApp.

What people say
In their own words
Example reviews for this demo.
I came in sure my back was finished. Ekaete explained what she found in plain words and gave me three exercises I could do at the office. I still do them.
After my knee operation they followed the surgeon's notes to the letter and showed me what each stage was for. The Saturday slots saved my work week.
They came to the house for my mother after her fall. Patient, gentle and they taught me how to help her up safely.
