The Treatment Process

Assessment

Your physiotherapist will spend time discussing your concerns before fully assessing both the primary pain area and your overall movement patterns, so that they can understand the nature and cause of your pain or dysfunction.

Diagnosis & Treatment

Once we have a working diagnosis we will discuss treatment options with you, including time scales and the number of treatments you will require. We pride ourselves on being hands-on and our aim will be to restore your mobility and reduce your pain using a variety of techniques such as massage, joint mobilisation and deeper soft tissue release.

Rehabilitation & Education

After treatment you will begin rehabilitation which may include specific exercises, advice on posture and helpful tips on best practice at work or in your chosen sport or leisure activity. Our Physiotherapists will help you to manage your symptoms and prevent recurrence through treatment and by teaching you exercises to do at home or in the gym if you prefer.

FAQs about Physiotherapy

Do I have to be referred by a GP to see a physiotherapist?

No that’s not necessary. Our Physiotherapist is trained to evaluate and treat your concerns. However, if you wish to use private health insurance you should contact your insurer before making an appointment as they may require a referral from your GP.

What should I expect from my first treatment?

During your first visit to The Boxgrove, the Physiotherapist will give you an initial assessment. This will include discussing the relevant problem, the suggested treatment, and your expected outcome. The suggested treatment will take place during this initial assessment and you may do some work in our Pilates Reformer Studio if relevant to your needs. A tailored treatment plan will then be discussed together and suggested exercises or advice given.

What should I wear during treatment?

We recommend that you wear loose comfortable clothing. We may ask you to partially remove some clothing so that we can access the area to treat. We provide shorts should you need to change. All rooms are warm and blankets provided. We also use towels to maintain your privacy.

How many sessions will I need?

Your therapist will be able to determine approximately how many sessions will be required after the initial consultation.

Can I bring a friend with me?

Of course, if you are nervous or worried about your initial appointment please do bring a friend or family member with you. If you’re under 16 years then an adult will need to be present during the consultation.

Will my therapist have the relevant qualifications?

All therapists at The Boxgrove are fully qualified, fully insured, and belong to the necessary governing bodies. Each one is hand-picked by us and is a specialist in their field of expertise.

Is The Boxgrove Clinic easy to find and is there car parking?

Directions to The Boxgrove and a map can be found here. Parking is available to all of our patients. We kindly ask all those coming for a scheduled class to park in the Boxgrove Village Hall car park.

Testimonials

“Emma tells you exactly what’s going on and is realistic about how long treatment and exercise will take. I cannot recommend her more highly.”

“Serena was brilliant. She listened to my problem and assessed me thoroughly. She was very professional and very kind and resolved my issue. I would highly recommend her.”

“Emma guided me through my recovery after knee replacement. The exercises and stretches she put me through helped me to a remarkably rapid recovery. I would thoroughly recommend her.”

“From the first appointment Serena helped in every way to regain my confidence, she made me feel very comfortable and is very kind and thoughtful. Highly recommended her and wish I had gone earlier!”

“Emma got me back to playing my sport quicker than anticipated and also improved some of my physical abilities (quicker and more powerful), which she initially said she would. She was able to keep me positive throughout the process and explained each step of the rehab very well.”

“Serena has been an absolute godsend for me. She was extremely knowledgeable about my complex condition and she gave me confidence that there was light at the end of the tunnel! I have gained strength quickly by following her very specific plan and have throughly enjoyed using the reformer machines under her guidance. The Boxgrove has been a beautiful and friendly place to recuperate in. Highly recommended..”
