Private Physiotherapy in Medway
Minutes from Chatham, Rochester, Strood and Gillingham
Specialist musculoskeletal physiotherapy for patients across the Medway towns, from a clinic built around unhurried one to one care.
“Josh is excellent. He really listens to the issue you present and is supportive in helping you follow advice. After three sessions my issue was resolved.”
Where private physiotherapy fits alongside the NHS
Medway is reasonably well served on paper. There is an NHS musculoskeletal service you can self refer into, a hospital service at Medway Maritime, and several private providers across Rochester, Chatham and Gillingham.
What varies enormously is time. NHS waits for routine musculoskeletal appointments frequently run into months, and once seen, slots are necessarily short. A good deal of private provision is delivered in fifteen or twenty minute blocks on a shared gym floor.
BetterMe exists in that gap. Longer appointments, entirely one to one, with a physiotherapist holding MACP accreditation which just over 1,200 practitioners nationally have achieved.
Areas we cover
The clinic sits in Rainham, a short run off the A2 and easily reached from anywhere in Medway.
Rainham and Gillingham
Minutes from the clinic, with dedicated parking directly outside so there is no hunting for a space.
Chatham and Walderslade
A straightforward ten to fifteen minutes via the A2, with evening appointments until 9pm.
Rochester and Strood
Around twenty minutes, and considerably easier than crossing into Maidstone for private care.
Hoo, Cuxton and the villages
The A228 and A2 make the peninsula and surrounding villages a manageable journey.
Inside the Rainham clinic
A short run off the A2, with the parking space outside already yours.
“I was on the verge of going to A&E, unable to walk properly or sit down. In just 50 minutes he helped me with my pain and mobility and also to address the stress I had around my pain.”
What to expect
One long appointment
Enough time in a single visit to take the history, examine you and explain it, rather than spreading that across three short slots.
Examined, not just asked about
Movement, strength and loading tolerance, plus the joints above and below the one that hurts.
A clear explanation
You leave understanding your problem well enough to explain it to somebody else.
A plan with an end point
What to do, in what order, and an honest estimate of how long it should take.
Real Medway patients, real recovery
People who felt stuck and what changed for them.
What our patients say
Came in with extreme pain
“My visit to this clinic was very helpful. I came in with extreme pain and left feeling so much better. The clinic is calming, and appointments are not rushed. Highly recommended.”
Clean and professional premises
“Josh was easily contactable and I had a thorough telephone consultation before I was booked in. Josh was very thorough in my initial appointment and eased my mind over some concerns I had. His premises are clean and professional.”
Looks after the whole person
“Josh is a great physiotherapist, very knowledgeable and friendly. He made me feel comfortable from the first meeting, and has helped me reduce my pain and improve my movement. He looks after the whole person.”
