Where does it hurt?
Tap a point on the body and we will tell you what people come in with, how it is assessed and what treatment usually looks like.
Tap a point on the body
Back
The most common reason people come to us. Pain sitting, driving or standing, a back that flares every few weeks, and having stopped bending, lifting or going to the gym in case it makes things worse.
A full history, then movement, strength and control, plus the areas above and below. Back pain is frequently driven by the hips, the thorax or simply how much load your week is asking of it.
Hands on treatment where it helps, plus the specific loading that rebuilds capacity. Josh works with the whole picture, including sleep, stress and activity, because those genuinely change how much your back tolerates.
Most straightforward episodes improve noticeably within two to six weeks. Long standing pain takes longer and I will not pretend otherwise, but you should understand it from the first session.
What makes BetterMe different
Four things patients in Rainham and across Medway tell us they did not get elsewhere.
- One physiotherapist from start to finish. You see Josh at every appointment, so you never have to start your story again.
- An assessment that looks past the sore bit. Appointments run long enough to take a full history and examine the areas above and below, because pain that keeps returning usually has a cause somewhere else.
- A private clinic, not a shared gym floor. Your own treatment room, dedicated parking outside, and appointments in the evening and at weekends.
- No GP referral needed. Self referral is welcome and we are recognised by Bupa, AXA Health, Aviva and Vitality.
If physiotherapy is not the right answer for your problem, you will be told that at the first appointment.
