What happens in the first 45 minutes
Most of an initial assessment is listening and looking. By the end you’ll know what we think is going on, what to do about it and whether you need to come back.
Wear something you can move in: shorts for knees and hips, a vest top for shoulders. If you’re claiming on insurance, bring your authorisation number.

Patient stories
“Folake had me walking the dog round Priory Park six weeks after my knee replacement. Every session had a clear goal, and she told me exactly why each exercise mattered.”
“I’d had heel pain for a year. Ruairi’s gait session showed I was overstriding, and with the calf programme I ran the whole half marathon without it flaring up.”
“After my second baby I didn’t know who to ask. Harriet was kind, practical and never rushed me. I’m back at my Saturday netball and feel strong again.”
