Exercise therapy is a tailored, progressive programme of movement and strengthening — the part of physiotherapy that makes recovery last. It rebuilds strength, control and confidence so pain does not return once treatment ends.
What it is
If manual therapy settles the pain, exercise therapy is what keeps it away. It is a structured, progressive programme designed around your specific condition, goals and starting point.
Every programme is graded — we start where you are and build steadily, adjusting each session so it stays challenging but safe. This is the single most evidence-backed component of physiotherapy.

Frequently asked questions
How is this different from going to the gym?
Exercise therapy is prescribed and progressed by a physiotherapist to treat a specific problem, with each movement chosen and dosed for your condition. It is rehabilitation, not general fitness — though it often builds a strong foundation for returning to the gym.
Will I have exercises to do at home?
Yes. A short, focused home programme is part of nearly every plan. Consistency between sessions is what drives results, so we keep it realistic and easy to fit into your day.
What if exercise makes my pain worse?
A well-dosed programme should not flare your pain significantly. We monitor your response closely and adjust the load, so you are always working within a safe and effective range.
