Your physiotherapist will assess how the problem affects you before recommending an appropriate treatment and rehabilitation plan. Learn more about the conditions we treat.

What happens during my first physiotherapy appointment?

Your physiotherapist will discuss your symptoms, general health, activities and treatment goals. They may then assess your movement, strength and physical function to help identify the likely cause of the problem.

After the assessment, your physiotherapist will explain the findings and recommend a personalised plan. This may include advice, exercise, progressive rehabilitation and hands-on physiotherapy where appropriate.

What is the difference between Physiotherapy and Sports Massage?

Physiotherapy is generally the most suitable starting point when you have an injury, unexplained pain, weakness, reduced movement or require structured rehabilitation.

Sports Massage focuses more on muscular tension, physical recovery and the demands associated with exercise, sport or physically active work. You do not need to participate in competitive sport to book a Sports Massage.

Which type of appointment should I book?

Choose Physiotherapy when you require a clinical assessment of pain, injury, weakness or reduced physical function. Sports Massage may be more appropriate when your main concern is muscular tightness, physical recovery or general soft-tissue discomfort.

When you are uncertain which service to choose, contact the clinic or book a free initial telephone consultation.

Can I book a free physiotherapy consultation first?

Yes. Core Physio offers a free 10-minute telephone consultation for people who are unsure whether physiotherapy is the right next step. A member of the team can discuss your concerns and help you choose an appropriate appointment without any obligation to book treatment. Free Physio Consultation in East Dulwich
