About Physiotherapy

What does physiotherapy involve?

Physiotherapy is a science-based health profession that takes a whole-person approach to health and wellbeing — including your general lifestyle. Your Innate Healthcare physiotherapist will assess, diagnose and treat your condition using a range of evidence-based techniques including manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, electrotherapy and education.

Whether you're recovering from surgery, managing a sports injury or dealing with a chronic condition, physiotherapy can help you regain function, reduce pain and return to the activities you love.

Physiotherapy techniques we use

  1. Manual therapy — Joint mobilisation and soft tissue techniques to restore movement and reduce pain.

  2. Exercise therapy — Tailored strengthening and stretching programmes to rebuild function safely.

  3. Electrotherapy — TENS, ultrasound and other modalities to support healing and reduce inflammation.

  4. Dry needling — Trigger point needling for stubborn muscle tension and myofascial pain.

  5. Education & self-management — We equip you with the knowledge to manage your condition and prevent recurrence.

Is physiotherapy safe?

Yes. Physiotherapy is a regulated healthcare profession. All physiotherapists at Innate Healthcare are registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and are members of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP) — the UK's professional body for physiotherapists. This means they meet strict standards of education, clinical practice and professional conduct.

Physiotherapy is suitable for a wide range of patients, from children and young athletes to older adults managing long-term conditions. Your physiotherapist will tailor every session to your specific needs, health history and goals.

Evidence-based care: Physiotherapy is recommended by NICE for a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions including low back pain, osteoarthritis and sports injuries. Our approach always follows current clinical guidelines.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions

  • Do I need a GP referral?

    No. You can self-refer directly to our physiotherapy service. Many patients come to us without seeing their GP first.

  • How is private physio different to NHS?

    No waiting lists, longer appointments, more continuity of care and a fully personalised treatment plan tailored to your goals.

  • What should I wear?

    Comfortable, loose-fitting clothing is ideal. Shorts are useful for lower limb conditions so your physiotherapist can assess the area freely.

  • Will I get exercises to do at home?

    Yes. Home exercises are a core part of your recovery and help you progress faster. We provide clear guidance and adjust your programme as you improve.
