Mend Physiotherapy

Forty minutes, and a plan you can actually follow

Three physiotherapists in the old chapel on Well Street. Every appointment is forty minutes, every plan fits on one sheet of paper, and nobody will sell you ten sessions on your first visit.

"She watched me walk up the stairs and knew what was wrong before I'd sat down."

Knee, eleven weeks, a runner again

"Three exercises, twice a day. I'd been given twenty before and done none."

Shoulder, six sessions

What we treat

Backs and necks

The most common, the most worrying, and usually the quickest to improve with the right movement.

Hands pressing into the upper back of a person in a black shirt.

Knees, ankles, hips

Sports injuries, after surgery, and the slow ache that started two years ago.

Gloved hands working on the ankle and foot of a patient.

Shoulders and elbows

Frozen shoulders, tennis elbow, and the arm you can't lift above your head any more.

Before your first appointment

What to wear

Shorts for knees and hips, a vest top for shoulders and backs. There's a changing room.

What to bring

Any scans or letters, a list of your medicines, and the shoes you usually walk in.

What happens

Twenty minutes of questions and looking, twenty of treatment, and a sheet to take home.

What we will not do

Sell you a block of sessions, or keep seeing you when you don't need us. Most people need four to six.
