How your rehabilitation progresses
Clinical assessment
We ask about work, sleep, lifting, exercise and any arm symptoms, then test movements relevant to your goals. New or concerning symptoms may need a medical review.
Restore movement and control
Treatment targets pain drivers while rebuilding strength, mobility, and control.
Sustain improvement
We adapt work and exercise demands as function improves, reviewing what helps and what still limits you.
Your visit from Forest Gate
This example starts at Forest Gate station. If Wanstead Park station or a local bus stop is more convenient, change the starting point and compare the walking sections as well as the overall journey.
When pain limits walking or standing, choose the journey you can comfortably manage rather than simply the fastest result. Tell us about access needs before you attend, especially after an operation.
What to prepare before travelling
- Tell us which reaches, lifts or working positions provoke symptoms.
- Mention any arm symptoms, weakness or change in sensation.
- Wear a top that makes shoulder movement easy to assess; bring relevant prior advice.
Directions use an example starting point, not a guaranteed travel time. Check current routes and access requirements before setting off.
Before you book
Will you look at my working routine?
If work is relevant, we discuss your tasks, breaks, equipment and symptom pattern as part of the assessment. The aim is practical changes alongside rehabilitation, not assuming posture is the sole cause. An employer-commissioned workplace assessment is a separate enquiry.
Choose how you pay
Self-pay or health cash plan
A 30-minute physiotherapy appointment is £60. You do not need a GP referral to book self-pay. If claiming through a cash plan, check eligibility and receipt requirements with your provider first.
Private health insurance
Check that your plan covers your condition, the Newham clinic and your chosen physiotherapist. Have your authorisation details ready; cover and any excess depend on your policy.
