Patient story
★★★★★

“I have had pain in my ankle for 2 years. Nothing really helped. I saw Josh and he listened to all of my health issues, not just the ankle. I felt a huge weight lift after just one session.”

Laura Fisher

A sporting injury in the patient's own words, from the first assessment through to returning to sport.

What our patients say

★★★★★

Torn Achilles

Tennis elbow, quicker than expected

“Josh has helped me recover from tennis elbow within a couple of months which is quicker than I expected after having the same issue a few years ago and it taking a lot longer to recover.”

Mark Oldershaw
★★★★★

Looking to get back playing football

“After a sporting injury, I was seeking out a local physiotherapist to take a look and help me to get back playing football again. I was pleased to find Josh at BetterMe Physiotherapy.”

Out of pain is the start, not the finish

The aim is to get you back to full strength with less chance of it happening again.

From injured to back playing

What each stage actually looks like, so you always know where you are.

Week one

You know what it is

Graded accurately, so the timeline is real rather than a guess.

Weeks two to six

Protected, then loaded

The irritation settled first, then back under load early at a level the tissue can actually handle.

Return to sport

Tested, not hoped

Objective criteria before you go back, not a date in the diary.

After

It holds up

Capacity rebuilt past where you were, which is what lowers the chance of it happening again.

Common questions

How soon after an injury should I be seen?
Sooner is better, ideally within the first week. Early assessment gets the grading right, which sets a realistic timeline, and stops the two common mistakes: resting far too long, or returning far too early. The clinic is in Rainham with evening slots, so it does not have to wait for a day off.
Which sports injuries do you treat most?
Running injury and overuse injury presentations are the most common, alongside hamstring strain treatment, calf strain treatment, groin strain treatment and general muscle strain treatment. Achilles tendinopathy physio and wider tendinopathy physio are a particular focus.
Do you handle post surgery rehab and return to sport?
Yes. Post surgery physio and structured return to sport rehabilitation follow the surgical protocol, with objective testing before you go back rather than a guess.
Can you help if I've had the injury for months?
Yes. Long standing injuries often haven't been assessed in enough detail. A fresh assessment frequently changes the whole approach.
