Physiotherapy helps restore movement and function when you’ve been affected by injury, illness or disability. Our physiotherapists work with you using movement and exercise, manual therapy, education and advice. This can help manage pain, restore function and reduce risk of injury for everyday life.
Regular physio sessions can be really useful for keeping your body in good order – you don’t have to have a specific problem to come and see us.
Our physiotherapists work with you to restore movement and function – you’ve probably also heard this referred to as recovery and rehabilitation (or rehab). We address problems with muscle, bone or soft tissue through exercise, advice and education. It’s great way to help with everything from back pain and neck pain to knee injuries, shoulder problems, sprained ankles and ligament damage.
It doesn’t matter if you had minor surgery or a knee replacement, hip replacement or an ACL repair – everyone can benefit from post-op physio. A combination of exercise and advice can help to improve movement and function.
Physiotherapy before surgery can also be helpful in making sure your body is in the best shape it can be to optimise your post-op recovery.
You don’t have to be in pain to benefit from physiotherapy. Regular physio sessions can be really useful for keeping your body happy and healthy.
Specialist physiotherapy can also help with certain disabilities and long-term conditions. It can be beneficial for arthritis, incontinence, headaches and pelvic dysfunctions.
Runner’s knee, tennis elbow, torn ligaments, muscle strains and more. You don’t have to be an elite athlete to suffer injuries such as these. What you have in common with the sports professionals though is that physiotherapy is just as helpful for you as it is for them!
Using a focused approach, we work to improve joint, muscle and soft tissue limitations and often use this in conjunction with an individualised and specific therapeutic exercise program. The focus of our treatment is not just on resolving the symptoms, but getting to the root cause of the problem, to help you recover as fully as is possible. We want you to get back to the pitch/desk/garden and back to normal life as soon as you can!
At Perfect Motion Physio, we are passionate about injury prevention and making your body work better for you. We really believe in investing in your body – you only get one! We will work with you to help limit the risk of further injury or problems and give you the tools and knowledge for effective management going forwards in the short and long term.
Pregnancy can place significant strain on a woman’s body. Specialist physiotherapy (and pilates) can play an important role in keeping the body happy and healthy and in aiding post-natal recovery.
I recently spent time with Bill regarding chronic back and shoulder pain, accompanied by lingering problems with my arm. I had several sessions of manipulation and exercise as well as Bill providing me with helpful stretches to perform at home. I’m now pain-free and incredibly grateful to Bill for his patience, his friendly manner and the excellent service he provided.
I suffered from terrible rib and back pain as everything was getting stretched. It made me anxious as even just a cough or sneeze could jar my ribs and cause spasms which were agony and made me get stuck unable to move. Becky and Bill together got me over the acute pain, then a combination of their pilates classes weekly and regular physio sessions kept the pain at bay to see me through until baby was here.
First contact
You can book an appointment from the word go – you don’t need to be referred by your GP, or consultant. You can contact us by picking up the phone, or sending an email; whatever suits you best.
We answer any questions you may have to help work out if your problem is something we can help you with.
Initial assessment
Initial Assessments are 45 minute appointments, unless an extended session is requested. All new clients are required to have a full assessment session before commencing treatment. An assessment is also required for existing clients who are presenting with new injuries.
During your assessment, a detailed history will be taken from you, finding out about your current issue and also past medical history. It is useful if you can bring any relevant paperwork with you to the session (such as scan reports/ letters etc). We also like to find out what your goals are – what you would like to get back to doing – whether that is gardening, or high level sports.
Following that, we carry out a full assessment which includes looking at posture, muscle length and strength, joint movement and control. We then formulate a treatment plan with you to help you to recover and reach your goals.
We try to whenever possible perform some treatment within the assessment session. Although this is not always possible with more complicated issues. We firmly believe in assessing things fully as, ultimately, this leads to better outcomes as treatment is more appropriately targeted. We will always give you advice and often some things to work on at home – such as postural changes and exercises.
(Be aware that it may be necessary for you to undress for appointments to your underwear / vest and shorts – depending on where your problem is.)
Follow up sessions
If more physio is deemed appropriate we will book that in with you at the end of your initial session. Often people will need a set of sessions – but this completely depends on the problem.
Follow up sessions are 30 minute appointments (unless you request an extended session). Follow-ups usually involve mostly treatment and/ or exercise therapy, with an initial chat and brief re-assessment before hand.
Medical conditions and medical history
Clients are responsible for ensuring that any changes in their medical history are communicated to their Physio at Perfect Motion Physio.

I have been seeing Bill having torn my calf muscle and he has been brilliant both treating it effectively and helping me focus on areas of weakness to help prevent further injury.
I have been seeing Bill for some football and tennis inflicted injuries (lower back, heel, and left arm) for the last six months and I have no hesitation in recommending him. The treatment is first class and Bill recommends some very structured exercises programmes designed to support speedy rehabilitation.
I went to see Bill soon after a knee injury (self-imposed!), as I was worried about being fit for an upcoming event. Bill took lots of time to understand my history, looked very holistically at the issue, and tried lots of approaches to get me up and running (well, walking) again. I felt that he approached the problem with a view to short as well as long-term fixes.
