Physiotherapy
Evidence based physiotherapy delivered by our in-house physiotherapist — treating the root cause, not just the symptoms.
Expert Physiotherapy, In House
Physiotherapy is one of the most effective tools available for managing and overcoming musculoskeletal pain and injury. Our in-house physiotherapist delivers hands-on, evidence-based treatment tailored specifically to your condition and your goals. Unlike generic physiotherapy services, our approach is deeply collaborative — working alongside our clinical team to ensure your physiotherapy programme is fully aligned with your diagnosis, your rehabilitation plan and your overall health. Whether you are recovering from injury, managing a long term condition or looking to improve your movement and function, our physiotherapy service delivers results that last.
Who Can Benefit?
Physiotherapy is suitable for a wide range of people and conditions. You may benefit from physiotherapy if you are:
- Recovering from a sports or exercise related injury
- Managing chronic pain in the back, neck, shoulders or joints
- Post-operative and looking to restore full function
- Experiencing reduced mobility or stiffness
- Dealing with a repetitive strain injury from work or sport
- Looking to prevent future injury through improved movement and strength
Our physiotherapist works with patients of all ages and activity levels — from elite athletes to those simply looking to get back to everyday life without pain.
What to Expect at Your First Appointment
Your first physiotherapy session is slightly different to follow-up appointments. It is a dedicated assessment session designed to give your physiotherapist a complete picture of your condition before any treatment begins. You do not need a GP referral to book — simply get in touch and we will arrange your initial assessment directly.
- A detailed discussion of your symptoms, medical history and lifestyle
- A full physical assessment including posture, movement and strength testing
- Identification of the root cause of your pain or dysfunction
- A clear explanation of your diagnosis in plain language
- Agreement on a personalised treatment plan and realistic recovery goals
- Your first hands-on treatment where appropriate within the same session
Initial assessment appointments are typically 60 minutes. Follow-up sessions are usually 45 minutes. The number of sessions required varies depending on your condition and goals — your physiotherapist will give you a clear indication at your first appointment.
Your Home Exercise Programme
Recovery does not stop when you leave the clinic. A personalised home exercise programme is a core part of your physiotherapy treatment at Mayfair Health Group. Your physiotherapist will design a programme of targeted exercises specifically for your condition, which you can carry out at home between sessions to accelerate your recovery and maintain the progress made in clinic.
- Exercises tailored specifically to your injury, condition and fitness level
- Clear instructions provided verbally and in written form so you can follow them confidently at home
- Progressively updated at each session as your strength and function improve
- Designed to fit around your daily routine with minimal equipment required
Consistency with your home programme is one of the biggest factors in how quickly you recover. Your physiotherapist will monitor your adherence and adjust the programme as needed.
Physiotherapy vs Sports Massage — What's the Difference?
Both physiotherapy and sports massage are available at Mayfair Health Group and both play an important role in recovery and performance. However they serve different purposes and are suited to different needs.
