It Starts with a
Baseline Assesment

THE KEY IS TO PUT AS MANY FACTS & FIGURES ON YOUR PROBLEM AS WE CAN.

Objective measures (Range of Movement, Muscle Endurance using EMG etc.) help us to classify your condition, as well as giving us a starting point for your treatment plan.

The great thing about numbers is that they also allow us to monitor your progress and adjust your treatment through a rehab program.

What is a Back & Neck Programme?

Following your assessment, we develop a treatment plan specific and individual to you. Treatment sessions are 45 mins to 1 hour long and are predominantly exercise-based – using our devices to get your spine moving and safely activate your muscles. Our Chartered Physiotherapists use manual therapy and various other adjunct modalities to support our active rehabilitation approach. The program is supplemented with a home exercise routine, which helps to support and speed up your rate of improvement.

How many sessions do patient’s typically need?

This of course depends on the issue you have, how long it has been going on and whether or not you are a post-operative patient. To give an example, our average chronic back or neck pain patient attends for 12 x 1 hour rehabilitation sessions.
