02 / The recovery path

A defined path from first visit to full load.

Every patient follows the same clinical structure, so you always know which step you are on and what comes next.

Step 01

Assessment

Forty-five minutes. History, movement screen and load testing to see how you actually move.

Step 02

Diagnosis

A specific working diagnosis — the structure, the mechanism, the stage — explained in plain terms.

Step 03

Treatment Plan

A written plan with session frequency, home loading and a realistic timeline to each goal.

Step 04

Recovery Milestones

Measured checkpoints for range, strength and control — so progress is tracked, not guessed.

Step 05

Maintenance

A loading routine that keeps the gains and stops the problem returning once you are discharged.

03 / The clinicians

Every plan is led by a senior physiotherapist.

Chartered, HCPC-registered clinicians. You see the same physiotherapist through your whole course of treatment — no rotating between staff.
