Not just a diagnosis. A full injury history, 3D biomechanics screening, and hands-on treatment - all in your first session.
Whether you have pain complaints, current injuries, or are looking for a MOT to check over body function - this is our first port of call.
We begin with a full injury history to check for potential compensation patterns. From here, we run a comprehensive 3D biomechanics screening - this checks each joint, in each range of motion, allowing us to really delve into what is going on with the body: where the glitches are, what is compensating, and also allows us to highlight issues before they come to light.
A plan of action, built from what we actually find.From here, we can create a plan of action and determine the best treatment. You will leave with a thorough understanding of what's going on in the body, and an exercise plan to begin working on. Hands-on treatment is also included in this session.
Using a variation (but not limited to) tissue release, fascial work, massage, acupuncture and exercise prescription - tailored to what we actually find, not a generic plan.
Something specific is going on and you want to know exactly what, and why - not just have the symptom managed.
The full MOT checks the current workings of the body to find where you're at and what could be improved, before it becomes a problem.
A baseline check of how your body actually moves and compensates under load, so training builds on solid ground.
A more holistic approach - rather than just assessing the injured tissue, we find what's causing it.
A full history to check for potential compensation patterns built up over the years.
Every joint, every range of motion - where the glitches are, and what's compensating.
A clear picture of what's going on, and the treatment that actually fits it.
Included in the same session, plus an exercise plan to take home.
I had seen various physios before, but Meg's approach was completely different. Rather than just focusing on the injury itself, she looked beyond it to understand the root cause. She conducted a full assessment and took the time to discuss not just my running, but my other sports and my day-to-day work life. It genuinely felt like I was being taken seriously as a whole person, rather than just being treated for a specific symptom. She provided a holistic view that I've never experienced with any other treatment for pain or injury.
We begin with a full injury history to work out how the body may have compensated over the years. We then move into a full functional biomechanical assessment - this further allows us to check out what is working, how well it's working and what may be overcompensating, causing potential issues. From here, we can get to work with your treatment, using a variation (but not limited to) tissue release, fascial work, massage, acupuncture and exercise prescription.
This takes a different approach to traditional physiotherapy - we take a more holistic approach, and rather than just assessing the injured tissues, we aim to find what is causing that, assessing gait, movement patterns and functional biomechanics, and begin here. This allows us to put together a comprehensive treatment plan that doesn't just treat the symptoms, but the underlying root cause.
Yes! The beauty of the full MOT is that we can assess the current workings of the body to find where you are at, what we can do to improve the overall workings of the body, and optimise performance. We do recommend an annual MOT as a preventative treatment.
This varies entirely from person to person. If you have had issues that have persisted longer than 3 months, we usually recommend 6 sessions of treatment to follow, however we will let you know a more precise plan after your initial assessment!
Unfortunately we aren't registered with BUPA, however we do work with many cash insurance plans, so feel free to send it over to us beforehand and we can let you know!
Currently we are only offering this as an in-person session at our private clinic on Exmouth Marina in Devon, however we are planning to operate online soon!
Book your Full Body Assessment at Exmouth Marina, or message Meg first if you're not sure it's the right starting point.
Or message Meg directly on WhatsApp - usually responds same day.
