Exercise Therapy blends physiotherapy‑style principles with practical coaching. We start by understanding your symptoms, history and goals, then design a plan you can actually follow, including targeted mobility, strength, balance and pacing strategies. We’ll liaise with your IDOS GP, tests or therapies so everything stays joined‑up and safe.
Who it’s for: People with aches, stiffness or recurrent niggles; those returning after injury or illness; desk‑based workers; beginners who want confidence and guidance.

Your first session includes assessment, goal‑setting and an introductory programme. Follow‑ups progress the plan at a sensible pace and troubleshoot barriers like pain flare‑ups, fatigue or busy schedules. Typical structure:
Wear comfortable clothing and supportive footwear. Bring any recent scans or reports, and a list of medicines if pain or long‑term conditions are involved. If pain flares easily, arrive a few minutes early to settle; we’ll adapt everything to your day.
