Who We Help
Who We Help
Real People. Real Goals. Real Support.
Pain doesn’t follow a script. Neither do we.
At Southampton Physio, we don’t just treat symptoms – we work with people.
People who are trying to stay active, recover from injury or move forward after setbacks.
Whether you’re managing long-term pain, bouncing back after surgery or just want to feel strong and confident again, we’ll meet you where you are – and help you build from there.
People Struggling with Persistent or Recurring Back Pain
For those whose back pain keeps returning or never fully goes away – and who want a long-term solution.
If your back pain always seems to come back – or never quite leaves – you’re not alone.
Many of our patients come to us after trying different exercises, treatments or scans but still feel stuck.
We help you break the cycle by:
- Understanding the real drivers of your pain - not just the surface symptoms
- Building strength, confidence and resilience over time - without flare-ups
- Supporting you with hands-on care where helpful and active rehab that actually works
Back pain treatment in Southampton is one of our core services.
Whether it’s an old injury, desk-related stiffness or a niggle that’s turned into a worry – we’ll help you move better and feel back in control.
Active Women Dealing with Joint Pain or Recurring Injuries
For women in midlife who want to stay strong, active and pain-free – even as their bodies start to feel different.
It’s common – but frustrating – to feel like your body isn’t keeping up with your mind.
You want to stay fit and independent, but joint pain, recurring injuries or fatigue are getting in the way.
We work with women who are:
- Managing perimenopausal changes, hypermobility or longstanding joint issues
- Keen to stay strong but cautious about getting injured again
- Frustrated by one-size-fits-all advice that just doesn’t work for them
Our approach is tailored, progressive and kind to your body.
You’ll get expert support that evolves with your needs – so you can keep doing what you love without being held back.
People with Hypermobility, EDS or Long-Term Pain
For those managing unpredictable joints, fatigue or conditions like Ehlers-Danlos – who want strength without flare-ups.
Hypermobility can be confusing and unpredictable.
Some days you’re fine; other days, things feel unstable, painful or just off. Standard rehab advice often doesn’t apply – and can even make things worse.
We support people with:
- Joint hypermobility, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS) or chronic fatigue
- A history of physio that felt too aggressive or not personalised
- A desire to feel stronger, steadier and more in control - without boom–bust crashes
We combine gentle, joint-friendly strength work with pacing, flare-up strategies and education to help you feel confident in your body again.
Older Adults Who Want to Stay Strong, Steady and Independent
For people in their 60s and beyond who want to stay mobile, confident and resilient in daily life.
Getting older doesn’t mean slowing down – but it does mean training smarter. If you’re noticing more stiffness, balance issues or reduced strength, the right support can make all the difference.
We help older adults:
- Improve balance, strength and coordination - reducing falls risk
- Stay active with arthritis, osteoporosis or joint replacements
- Regain confidence after a fall, surgery or period of inactivity
Our Stronger for Longer programme is designed specifically for this stage of life:
Progressive, joint-friendly and grounded in expert care.
No intimidating gyms. No pushing through pain. Just practical coaching that helps you stay steady and capable.
Runners, Cyclists, Golfers and Other Active Individuals
For athletes of all levels who want to recover from injury, improve performance and stay doing what they love.
Being active is part of who you are – but injury, stiffness or pain can make you second-guess your body.
You don’t need a lecture or generic rest advice. You need a plan that works.
We help recreational and competitive athletes:
- Rehab injuries like tendinopathy, knee pain or back issues - the right way
- Understand how to load and progress safely
- Optimise strength, mobility and technique to reduce injury risk
Our clinicians are active people too – we get it.
You’ll be supported by someone who understands your goals and bridges the gap between rehab and performance.
Climbers Recovering from Finger, Shoulder or Overuse Injuries
For climbers who need rehab that understands the unique demands of the wall – and their love of the sport.
Climbing injuries aren’t like other injuries.
Whether it’s a stubborn pulley strain, shoulder niggle or elbow pain, generic rehab advice often doesn’t cut it.
We support climbers who are:
- Dealing with finger, shoulder, wrist or elbow issues
- Unsure how to rehab without losing progress (or going stir-crazy)
- Looking for advice that respects both the physical and emotional impact of time off the wall
We combine climbing-specific rehab with performance coaching, strength work and flare-up management – so you can get back to the wall stronger, not sidelined.
People Recovering from Surgery or Frustrated with Slow Progress
For those who’ve had surgery or NHS physio but still don’t feel ‘back to normal’ – and want expert guidance that works.
Surgery may be the end of one chapter – but it’s rarely the end of the journey.
Many people feel left in limbo after discharge, unsure how to rebuild strength or return to everyday life.
We help people recovering from:
- Joint replacements, spinal surgery or shoulder operations
- NHS physio that helped short term but didn’t go far enough
- Setbacks, scar tissue or secondary issues like weakness and stiffness
Our Reset and Rebuild approach gives you a structured recovery plan that fills in the gaps:
Advanced rehab, functional strength work and progress you can feel.
People with Work-Related Pain or Desk-Based Discomfort
For those whose job is wearing them down – whether it’s back pain from sitting or strain from physical work.
Work shouldn’t hurt.
Whether you’re at a desk all day, on your feet for hours or doing repetitive manual tasks, pain can creep in and performance can drop.
We support professionals with:
- Desk-based neck, back or shoulder tension
- Manual labourers with joint or tendon strain
- Drivers, teachers and healthcare workers - anyone whose job puts their body under pressure
We go beyond posture tips or stretching routines.
Our team helps you build resilience, improve movement and create sustainable habits for life and work.
People with Stubborn Tendon Issues Like Plantar Fasciitis or Tennis Elbow
For anyone battling ongoing tendon pain that hasn’t shifted with rest, stretching or massage.
Tendon pain is frustrating.
It lingers, flares up unexpectedly and resists typical fixes like foam rolling.That’s because tendons respond best to structured, progressive loading – not quick fixes.
We help with conditions like:
- Plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, gluteal tendinopathy
- Tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, rotator cuff issues
- Long-term tendon pain that hasn’t improved with basic rehab
Most tendon issues don’t need shockwave – but if yours does, we work with trusted providers.
You’ll get a clear plan, expert guidance and results-focused rehab.
People Living with Neurological Conditions or Balance Issues
For those with stroke, Parkinson’s, MS or unexplained dizziness – looking for specialist support to stay steady and capable.
When balance, coordination or strength are affected, it can feel like your world has shrunk.
But the right physio can help you stay active, independent and confident again.
We support people with:
- Parkinson’s, stroke recovery, multiple sclerosis and MND
- Vestibular issues, dizziness or frequent falls
- Fatigue, movement difficulties or changes in gait
Our Neuro-Physio service combines clinical expertise with patience, encouragement and practical support – helping you do more of what matters, safely.
