Physiotherapy in St James’s London – Your Questions Answered

What is physiotherapy? Physiotherapy is an evidence-based treatment that utilises exercise, hands-on techniques, education, and personalised advice to alleviate pain, enhance mobility, and expedite recovery. It’s a safe and effective way to restore mobility and quality of life without relying on medication or surgery.

Who is physiotherapy suitable for? Physiotherapy can benefit people of all ages and activity levels – from athletes recovering from sports injuries to office workers with posture-related pain and older adults seeking to maintain mobility. At our St James’s London clinic, our HCPC-registered physiotherapists create personalised treatment plans to suit your lifestyle and goals.

What conditions does physiotherapy help with?
Physiotherapy can be highly effective for managing many common health concerns. It is widely used to relieve back and neck pain, improve recovery from sports injuries and muscle strains, and support those living with arthritis or other joint problems. Many people also benefit from physiotherapy after surgery, where targeted exercises and hands-on treatment help speed up healing and restore strength.

It is equally valuable for workplace-related issues such as poor posture, repetitive strain injuries, or discomfort linked to long hours at a desk. Physiotherapy can also assist people experiencing reduced mobility or balance challenges, helping them move more freely and confidently.

How many physio sessions will I need? The number of sessions depends on the type and severity of your condition. Some patients feel improvement after just a few visits, while others benefit from a longer treatment plan. We recommend starting with an initial assessment at our St James’s clinic so we can provide a clear plan tailored to your needs.

Physiotherapy or exercise rehab – which is right for me? Both physiotherapy and exercise rehabilitation are effective for musculoskeletal conditions. Physiotherapy is often the first step, particularly after surgery or when you need hands-on diagnosis and treatment. Exercise rehabilitation is ideal for building long-term strength, flexibility, and resilience. At Nordic Balance St James’s, our physios can guide you on the right pathway for your recovery.

MSK physiotherapy plays a pivotal role in the rehabilitation process. It aids in the healing of injured tissues, helps in correcting muscle imbalances and postural issues, and provides tailored rehabilitation programs to ensure a safe and effective return to pre-injury levels.
