Return to activity
A structured, progressive route back to work, exercise or sport after pain, injury or a period of rest.

Pain & movement assessment
Describe your pain and how it affects you. We'll prepare a clear summary for your physiotherapist.
This assessment is for information and appointment planning only. It does not diagnose any condition or replace advice from your doctor. In an emergency call 112.
Where is the pain?
How did it start?
How long has this been going on?
Pain on an average day
Understand what may be happening
Start with a clear explanation—not assumptions
Returning to activity is about gradually rebuilding capacity—strength, mobility and confidence—so your body can meet the demands you place on it. Plans are tailored and progressed based on how you respond.
Private, respectful and consent-led
You should understand why any assessment is being suggested and what it involves. Sensitive examination is never automatic and should only happen when appropriate, with your informed consent.
Our approach
Care built with you, not simply given to you
Begin with your story, priorities and the activities you want to return to.
Explain findings in clear language, with time for questions and shared decisions.
Build a practical plan that may include education, hands-on care and progressive movement.
Review progress and adapt care to your comfort, goals and stage of life.
Your appointment
What can care work toward?
The focus depends on your assessment and priorities. Goals may include understanding symptoms, improving movement or coordination, managing discomfort, building capacity and returning to meaningful activities with greater confidence.
