Is online physiotherapy suitable?
Online care can support many musculoskeletal and rehabilitation needs through discussion, observation, movement testing and guided exercise. Some symptoms still require in-person or urgent assessment.

What makes a useful recovery plan?
A plan should connect exercises to meaningful goals, set an appropriate starting point and change as symptoms, strength and confidence develop.
Preparing for your consultation
Choose a private space, wear comfortable clothing, keep reports nearby and position the camera so your movements can be seen safely.
Understanding gradual progression
Recovery rarely depends on one perfect exercise. Consistent work, appropriate loading and useful feedback matter more than constant programme changes.
Pain and movement
Pain is important, but it is not a complete measure of tissue condition or safety. Assessment considers behaviour, function, history and other relevant factors.
When to seek urgent help
New severe symptoms, major trauma, loss of bladder or bowel control, progressive weakness, breathing difficulty or other emergencies should be assessed locally without waiting for an online session.
