how the process works

​

I am bringing a new approach to delivering high quality, fully supported and individualised Physiotherapy.

 

Whilst I have treated international competitors, E10, 9a and 8B+ climbers the vast majority of my work is with people trying to fit their passion in around their lives, just like me.  

​

I am an evidence led practitioner who believes in encouraging self management and creating a plan to fit you, not expecting you to fit the plan.

​

Why?

 

I don't like to hear of people not seeking treatment, as they feel Physiotherapy is unaffordable for what it offers.

​

People often withdraw from treatment as soon as they become pain free, normally to save the cost of future appointments. This omits a crucial area of rehabilitation. The injury area will still be de-conditioned, requiring re-strengthening and making more robust to protect against future injury.

​

Process Physiotherapy charges a small amount more than the average for each appointment. But this is NOT more expensive as you will have fewer appointments.

​

This approach gives you:

​

Education - you will receive a detailed write up of your diagnosis, prognosis and exercise plan (with video links).

​

Support - regular contact between appointments is included. This supports alterations to protocols, education, changing exercises and progressions etc.  

 

This extra support is how i am able to keep the number of appointments down. It is in the day to day management that the rehab happens, not the fortnightly visit for a heat pack and a massage.

 

By quickly answering questions you will be confident you are doing the right thing. By tackling any flare ups we stop them from de-railing your rehab. By progressing exercises as soon as you are ready we speed up the recovery process.

​

Clarity - you will know from the first contact the expected timeframe, cost and outcome of your treatment.

​

Trust - that you are at the centre of clinical reasoning and decision making, not financial gain.

​

Commitment - I will be committed to enabling your recovery as efficiently as possible. You will feel more committed to seeing the therapy through to the end. A better result for all concerned. Discharge happens with mutual agreement.​

​

Fortnightly visits to a clinic over a 12 week period would cost in the region of £190 with no support available between appointments. Treatment with myself would cost £130 (3 appointments) but with the benefit of regular communication between them. 

​

If an exercise update is required between appointments (beyond a small tweak) a £10 charge is applied as this does take me around half an hour to produce.
