Physiotherapy helps people of all ages who have medical conditions, illnesses or injuries that limit their regular ability to move and function. A personalised Physiotherapy program can help individuals return to their prior level of functioning, and encourage activities and lifestyle changes that can help prevent further injury and improve overall health and well being.
Physiotherapists can treat a wide variety of medical conditions. Some conditions that can benefit for Physiotherapy include:
- Musculoskeletal dysfunction such as, back pain, neck pain , leg pain, hip pain
- Sports – related injuries, such as tennis elbow
- Neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s disease and stroke
- Hand therapy for condition such as carpal tunnel syndrome
During your initial consultation, your physiotherapist will conduct a comprehensive clinical assessment, which will include asking you a series of questions regarding the history of your physical complaint, the background to it, as well as what aggravates and eases the pain. They may also ask questions regarding your occupation, general routine and lifestyle, sleep patterns and how the pain impacts your life and hobbies – this information helps to give us a better picture of the problem and what may have caused it.
It is important to provide us with as much information as possible during the consultation, including any other medical conditions and any medication you may be taking, as this could have an influence on your musculoskeletal condition.
Your physiotherapist will then conduct a detailed physical examination, involving some movements and tests, that highlight the problem and potential causes of your condition. They will only do enough to help identify what is going on, if at any point you experience too much pain to continue, they will stop. It may be that you experience some soreness after the examination, this is entirely normal, and usually resolves within 24 hours.
Depending on where the issue is on the body, it may be necessary to remove some clothing in order to carry out the examination effectively (we always endeavour to protect and respect the modesty and dignity of our patients at all times).
The assessment will help the physiotherapist to accurately diagnose your condition and identify an appropriate treatment plan, which will take into account your current fitness level, lifestyle, work, any sporting activities and the levels of function you need to attain. All treatment plans are individually tailored to suit your needs.
Your physiotherapist will then discuss with you, the findings of their assessment, the possible treatment options open to you (including detailed advice and education) and decide where to start. This will incorporate their recommendations, your preference for treatments, and the likely timescale of rehabilitation. Sometimes, physiotherapy may not be the most appropriate course of action, and alternatives such as a referral for further investigations may be advised.
It is important that you understand your condition, before any treatment begins, and so please feel comfortable asking questions about your diagnosis and treatment plan.
As the assessment is normally very thorough, and time is dedicated to getting the right diagnosis, it is not always possible for your treatment plan to commence within your initial appointment.
Patients often wonder why they have to go through an initial assessment with a physiotherapist when their doctor, or other health care provider, has already determined what the cause of their pain is or potentially even had diagnostic imaging conducted to confirm a diagnosis.
To answer this, the most common reasons why an initial assessment is essential for a physiotherapist to give the right care, are:
- Everyone is an individual – When physiotherapists provide care for a patient, it is personalised to that patient’s needs. Therefore, through an initial assessment, our physiotherapists are better able to better understand why a person is coming for treatment, what their goals for recovery are and what care is best for that individual. The most effective care is provided when it is tailored to a patient’s specific condition and needs
- Even the same condition affects people differently – Although two people may have the same condition diagnosed, there is always variation in how this affects a person. Everyone is at a different stage in their lives and has had different experiences and therefore experience their condition differently. It is through an initial assessment that our physiotherapists can fully understand how a condition or injury has influenced a person’s life.
- Determine a baseline – During an initial assessment our physiotherapists will take you through a number of tests (or outcome measures) to understand where a patient is on that very first day. This baseline – or beginning measurements – allow them to understand the current strength, mobility and overall functioning of a patient’s body or area of concern. Therefore, during the course of treatment, the physiotherapists can repeat some of these measurements and compare them to the original ones determined during the initial assessment. This comparison allows for patients and physiotherapists to better understand when significant changes to symptoms or other factors have occurred.
- Imaging does not always reflect a patient’s pain experience – Research conducted to determine the ability for diagnostic imaging (e.g., X-ray, MRI, Ultrasound) to reflect a patient’s experiences with pain has demonstrated that the correlation between the two is very low, especially in regard to low back pain. Furthermore, the chances of finding asymptomatic spinal “abnormalities” are very common and increase with age. Therefore, physiotherapists cannot exclusively rely on a patient’s diagnostic imaging to determine that patient’s experience with pain as they often do not match up.
The most common reasons include:
- Irreversible damage, especially if the injury has been long standing.
- Wrong diagnosis
- Not having enough Physiotherapy sessions to allow the treatment to work properly
- Not having hands-on treatment if the problem requires it
- Not carrying out your prescribed exercise plan
Physiotherapy is one of the most widely used forms of treatment adopted for gaining relief from back pain. It is used in both modes, as a single line of treatment as well as in combination with other treatments such as massage, heat, traction and ultrasound

Michelle2024-01-18So happy I came across this physio clinic! Jeremy was the first person to give me the confidence that I can get rid of my back pain for good. He skillfully identified the root cause of my back pain and devised a clear plan to alleviate it. He was personable and positive which made the session enjoyable. I'm already feeling improvement in my back. Highly recommend!Tomas Mitkus2024-01-18These guys are great! I had plantar fasciitis which was bothering me for months. Tried a couple of other physios (with no success) before I was recommended Jeremy at Premium Physio. He assessed the problem and quickly established a clear plan to get me back to running in a few weeks. Can’t forget to mention that he took the time to explain exactly why I was experiencing these problems (thanks for the lesson in physiology!) so that I knew how to prevent this from happening in the future. Happy to say that my plantar fasciitis is no more. Thank you, Jeremy, for your help (and good conversation).Callum Oakes2024-01-18Jeremy has helped me on multiple occasions. I was preparing for my first half marathon and kept getting myself injured. He helped me through them, ensured I didn’t make the same mistakes and helped improve my knowledge. I felt the difference after a single session and he will always be my first point of call if I have any future problems. Thanks again!Vas2024-01-18Jeremy at Premium Physio is an outstanding specialist physiotherapist. I was struggling with severe back pain and his professional care not only relieved my discomfort but also improved physical wellbeing. 100% Recommended!Mark Wisken2024-01-18After being treated by Sol and his amazing team prior to my hip replacement operation I am now back for my post operative physio. The treatment given and weekly exercises are always discussed and monitoring at each session. Booking appointments is always so easy and Gemma’s communication is first class. I would highly recommend Premium Physio to anyone.Naresh Mepani2024-01-17I had the privilege of receiving treatment from Dr. Solomon Abrahams, and I am beyond impressed with the level of expertise and care he provides.

Solomon is extremely supportive, and willing to do everything in his power for his patients wellbeing. I highly recommend him for anyone seeking extremely effective and caring treatment.Graham T2023-11-24Dr Solomon Adams - he is the third physio I have seen in 12 years with back problems, he is the only person who identified the cause of my problems. In the past I just got links to exercises, Dr Adams showed me 3 exercises to do, I have done these for 3 months since August and they have transformed my back - getting rid of the pain I had and I have so much more flexibility. He really knows his stuff - highly recommended, thank you!Arshad Hussain2023-08-14I have been seeing Sol Abraham for nearly twenty years and I have to say he is an expert in his field, a true professional. I can confidently say this by various Consultants, I have been operated by and they respect for him in his knowledge in Physiotherapy. To me Sol greatest strength is that he individualise patient treatment, recognising every individual is different and they pain threshold, to make them feel at ease and reassurance that everything will get better and be back to normal. I have found Sol very attentive, caring and very supportive to my aches and pains especially in these last two years (whining old man) rotator cuff and Knee meniscal tear both requiring surgery. He has listened to my concerns about my pain/symptoms, asked questions, examined me to see whether further scans are necessary to diagnose the problem and set a plan of action to full recovery. As someone who has been very active my entire life and experienced numerous sporting injuries, my body now definitely requires more maintenance over the wear and tear caused over the years, MOT failing due to age, I say. Thank you Sol for everything and your supportive team in getting me back to full fitness, which I know couldn’t have been easy with all my whinging.Jenny Dalley2023-07-27Where do I start with Sol and his fab team. I was previously seeing another physio for hamstring tendinopathy, frustrated with progress, I moved over to see Sol and team on the back of a recommendation from a friend. What a difference I have seen already, although a long road to recovery Sol has been able to get me back jogging and doing exercise whilst reducing pain. Sol was able to identify underlying causes for my issue which was previously missed, he also help identify a partial rupture which previous physios hadn't picked up which was contributing to my pain. Sol will explain all his findings and treatment in a way that you really understand, helping you feel informed. All this on top of being the most lovely friendly and super welcoming team. You always walk away with a smile on your face and feeling positive about treatment. Cannot recommend Sol enough.
