When Should You See a Physiotherapist?

If you’ve been dealing with pain, stiffness, or an injury that just won’t go away, you might be wondering — is it time to see a physiotherapist?

Many people wait until discomfort becomes severe before seeking help, but early physiotherapy intervention can make a huge difference in your recovery. At Core Physio, we help people move better, feel stronger, and get back to doing what they love — safely and confidently.

Understanding What Physiotherapy Does

Physiotherapy is about improving how your body moves and functions. It focuses on identifying the cause of pain, restoring mobility, and preventing future problems through evidence-based treatment.

A Chartered Physiotherapist can help with:

• Joint pain and stiffness in the neck, back, hips, knees, or shoulders

• Muscle aches, sprains, and strains

• Rehabilitation after injury or surgery

• Chronic pain management

• Improving posture and mobility

• Sports performance and injury prevention

Physiotherapy isn’t just about hands-on treatment — it’s a partnership between patient and practitioner. Every plan is designed around your needs, lifestyle, and goals.

Signs You May Benefit from Physiotherapy

You don’t have to be in severe pain to benefit from physiotherapy. Some of the most common reasons people come to Core Physio include:

• Ongoing pain that hasn’t resolved on its own

• A recent injury or sudden loss of mobility

• Recurring stiffness or weakness

• Pain that interferes with sleep or daily movement

• Recovery after surgery or medical treatment

• A desire to improve posture, flexibility, or strength

Physiotherapy can also help if you feel something “just isn’t right” — that subtle tightness or recurring ache that keeps returning. Early treatment often prevents bigger issues later on.

What to Expect at Your First Appointment

During your first session at Core Physio, we’ll begin with a detailed assessment to understand your condition. This includes:

• A full discussion of your symptoms and goals

• Movement and posture assessment

• Strength, flexibility, and joint tests

• Diagnosis and explanation in clear, simple terms

From there, we’ll create a personalised treatment plan that may include manual therapy, targeted exercises, posture correction, and lifestyle advice. Every plan is designed to be practical, manageable, and effective.

The Benefits of Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy can help you:

• Relieve pain naturally, without medication

• Improve strength, flexibility, and coordination

• Speed up recovery after injury or surgery

• Prevent future injuries or relapses

• Restore confidence in your movement

Over time, you’ll not only feel better — you’ll move better. That’s the foundation of lasting recovery.
