Our Physiotherapy Treatment Approach
What Happens at Your Assessment?
Having a musculoskeletal physiotherapy assessment is the first step to understanding what's contributing to or causing your pain or injury.
Your Initial Assessment
All physiotherapy assessments at Flex are one hour long. This ensures you get the valuable time you need to:
-
Explain your symptoms - We listen carefully to understand your pain, how it started, and how it affects your daily life
-
Thorough examination - We assess your movement, strength, flexibility, and function to identify the possible causes
-
Treatment plan - You'll leave knowing exactly where your rehabilitation journey will start and how it will progress
-
First treatment - We begin treatment in your first session
Should you need an onward referral (for scans, specialist consultations, or other services), you will be provided with the information you need to take action.
Treatment Techniques We Use
Manual Therapy: Hands-on techniques including joint mobilisation and soft tissue massage to reduce pain and restore movement
Exercise Rehabilitation: Customised exercise programs designed to strengthen weak areas, improve flexibility, and prevent future problems
Movement Analysis: Assessment of your movement patterns to identify biomechanical issues contributing to your condition
Taping: Supportive techniques for acute injuries and pain relief
Education & Self-Management: We empower you with knowledge and tools to manage your own recovery

-
Progressive hands-on treatment
-
Advancing your exercise program
-
Monitoring your progress
-
Adjusting treatment as you improve

Preparing you for long-term independence
