Meet Josh Devine, MACP Accredited Physiotherapist
One physiotherapist, start to finish
Clinical expertise, whole person care, and a calm environment built around real recovery.
I started BetterMe because people deserve better
I started BetterMe because I felt there was a different way to support people in pain. Working in the NHS for many years, I saw first hand how challenging it can be to deliver the level of care people truly need within the constraints of the system. Appointments are often limited, waiting times can be long, and it can be difficult to explore everything that might be contributing to someone's pain within those boundaries.
At the same time, I could relate personally. I've experienced persistent pain myself, and I know how much things like stress, anxiety and poor sleep can affect how your body feels. That's when it really clicked for me: pain isn't just physical. But often there simply isn't the time or space to explore that full picture.
That didn't sit right with me. It keeps people stuck in a cycle of quick fixes and no progress. So I wanted to create something different. A space where people feel listened to, understood and fully supported, where we look beyond just the symptoms and take a whole person approach, helping you make sense of your pain and take back control in a way that actually lasts.
“I always find Josh helpful and accommodating. He is clearly very experienced and takes into consideration any underlying health issues before embarking on any treatments.”

What makes this different
“What makes my approach different is that I don't just focus on the physical side of pain. I take the time to understand you as a whole person, your lifestyle, stress, sleep, habits, beliefs and how your body is responding overall. Because pain is rarely caused by just one thing. Most people I work with have already tried exercises, treatments and quick fixes that didn't last. My focus is helping you break that cycle, not by relying on ongoing appointments or temporary relief, but by giving you a clear plan and the tools to manage your pain long term and feel more in control of your body again.”

When you see Josh
A conversation first
Time to talk through your history, your symptoms, what you've tried and how your pain or injury is affecting your life.
A thorough assessment
Not just the painful area. Movement, strength, lifestyle factors, stress and the wider patterns driving your problem.
A clear explanation
You'll understand exactly what's happening and why. No jargon, no confusion, no leaving with more questions than answers.
A plan built around you
What to do, in what order, and roughly how long it should take. Not the same plan handed to everybody else.
