Feeling stiffer than you used to?

What may be going on
Stiffness often builds gradually, with changes in activity, joint wear, past injuries and less time spent moving. It is common, and it doesn’t mean you need to stop. Most people move better with the right mix of gentle hands-on care, strength and confidence-building activity.
Your first visit
A clear plan, not guesswork
We listen.
Tell us what’s happening, what makes it better or worse, and what you want to get back to.
We look and explain.
We check how you move and explain what we find, in plain language.
We agree a plan.
Together we choose the next step: hands-on care, exercises, advice, or a referral if something else is needed.
Care options
Get urgent help first
See your GP or seek urgent care for a hot, red or swollen joint, fever, unexplained weight loss, a fall with new pain, or sudden loss of strength or function.
Questions
Am I too old to start?
No. People of all ages can build strength and mobility. We adjust everything to suit you.
Will treatment be gentle?
Yes. We choose techniques that suit your comfort and health, and explain each one first.
Can I bring a family member?
Of course. You’re welcome to bring someone along.
Do I need to see my GP first?
