your personalised journey to recovery
Your physiotherapy follows our clear S‑T‑E‑P approach — a calm, reassuring structure personally designed to help you feel better, move better and return to the activities that matter most to you.
- S – Settle pain and irritation - We begin by helping the affected area feel calmer and movement feel easier.
- T – Train movement - Once symptoms begin to settle, we guide you through comfortable, controlled movement patterns that help your joints, muscles and supporting areas work together more naturally.
- E – Enhance strength - Next, we rebuild the strength and control your body needs to stay active and resilient.
- P – Protect through prevention - Finally, we help you protect the progress you’ve made and maintain long‑term results.
“I booked into Straight Back Physiotherapy after a long-term injury showed no signs of recovery. The team were great, getting to the root of the issue and putting me on a course of exercises which fixed the issue enabling me to get back on the bike.”

Back pain can become a bit more common as the years go by, but that doesn’t mean you just have to 'grin and bear it.'
If you’re feeling a sharp or tingly pain traveling from your lower back down your leg, you’re likely dealing with sciatica.
Our feet and ankles carry us through every step of the day, so it’s really no wonder they occasionally need a little extra care!
Whether it’s a struggle to get comfortable at night or pain that stops you in your tracks during a walk, hip issues can really hold you back. We help you find your stride again.
Knee pain is incredibly common, but that doesn't make it any less frustrating when it’s stopping you from doing what you love.
If your shoulder is making it hard to get dressed or reach behind your back, we’re here to help. We know how much these 'small' tasks matter to your quality of life.
Elbow pain has a way of making simple movements feel like a challenge. If you’re struggling with an injury or persistent ache, you’re in the right place.
