What We Treat
You don’t have to know the name of your condition – just start with the area that’s bothering you.
Conditions We Treat at Southampton Physio
Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing long-term pain or just trying to feel stronger in your everyday life, you’re in the right place.
At Southampton Physio, we help people move better, live more and stay stronger for longer. From back pain to arthritis, nerve irritation to sports injuries, we treat a wide range of physical issues – both recent and long-standing. But more than that, we support you as a person, not just a body part. We listen, assess and guide you with clear steps and no fluff.
You don’t have to figure out your condition before you walk through our doors. We’re here to help you make sense of what’s going on, and more importantly, what you can do about it.
What We Actually Treat (And What That Means for You)
Many people don’t know what physiotherapists actually treat – or they assume it’s “just exercises” or “just for sports injuries.” The truth is broader and more hopeful.
We help with:
- Pain (acute or persistent)
- Movement restrictions
- Recovery after injury or surgery
- Muscle weakness or joint instability
- Postural and workplace discomfort
- Long-term conditions like arthritis, fibromyalgia or hypermobility
- Building strength and confidence in your body, especially if you’ve felt fragile or stuck
Our approach blends hands-on treatment, rehab coaching, education and tailored strength work. It’s evidence-based, holistic and focused on real-world change.
“But I Don’t Know What’s Causing It…”
That’s okay. Most people who come to see us don’t have a neat label for what they’re feeling – and that’s why they come. Pain can be complex. It might show up in one area but be influenced by other parts of your life: posture, stress, movement habits or even how much you’ve been resting.
You don’t need to come in with answers. We’ll listen, assess and help make sense of what your body is telling you.
And if it turns out you’d benefit from another kind of support – like a scan, GP referral or medication advice – we’ll let you know and help you take the next step.
Common Signs and Symptoms We Help With
We regularly treat people who are experiencing:
- Aches, stiffness or tension that keep returning
- Sharp pain when lifting, twisting, walking or running
- Numbness or tingling in arms or legs (often linked to nerve involvement)
- Clicking, popping or catching sensations in joints
- Fatigue, fragility or fear of movement
- Recurrent strains, sprains or overuse injuries
- Persistent postural discomfort or headaches after long workdays
- Recovery struggles after surgery or prolonged rest
- Pain that moves around or doesn’t follow a clear pattern
Sometimes people feel broken, frustrated or like they’re “just getting old.” We don’t buy that. You’re not falling apart. Your body is just asking for a new approach – and we can help.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Do I need a referral to see you?
No – you can book directly with us, whether you’re self-paying or using insurance. No GP referral needed.
Will I get exercises or hands-on treatment?
Usually both. We combine movement coaching with hands-on techniques based on what works best for your situation.
I’ve tried physio before and it didn’t help. Why would this be different?
Because we don’t follow a one-size-fits-all model. We take the time to understand your whole picture – your life, your goals, your body – and we adapt based on your feedback.
How long does recovery usually take?
That depends on your condition and goals. Some people feel better after a few sessions; others need more long-term support. We’ll always be honest and give you a realistic timeline.
What if I’m not sure what’s wrong?
That’s fine. We’re trained to assess, explain and guide you – so you don’t have to come in with answers.
