About the clinic

Physiotherapy rests on an insight that often surprises patients: for most pain and movement problems, adapted loading is the treatment, not rest. The body's tissues — muscles, tendons, cartilage, bone — grow stronger with the right dose of load and weaker with inactivity. The skill lies in finding the right level: enough to stimulate, not so much that it overloads.

Every assessment ends with a concrete exercise programme where you understand the logic behind each exercise — that understanding is what decides whether the programme is actually followed, and therefore whether it works.

How it works

1Book and describe your main problem online.
2Upload previous results if you have them — test results, examinations, medication list.
3Video consultation — review of your history and targeted questions.
4A clear plan — next steps, any treatment, and a timeframe for follow-up.

What to prepare

A timeline of your symptoms (when it started, what triggers or relieves it)
Current medications and doses
Known allergies and previous illnesses
Previous test results and examinations, with dates if possible
Your three most important questions for the visit

Call your local emergency number immediately or go to the nearest emergency department if you have:

Sudden severe pain
Paralysis or a sudden loss of the ability to move
Difficulty breathing
Altered sensation in the genital area or around the anus, or loss of bladder/bowel control, together with back pain
Numbness that is rapidly getting worse

Digital care cannot replace emergency services. If unsure, seek care immediately.

Common questions

When should I book physiotherapy?

When pain or a movement problem is affecting everyday life.

Do I need tests or images before the appointment?

Not always — we guide you.

Can rehabilitation take place digitally?

Yes, with structured rehabilitation and exercise programmes.

How long does rehabilitation usually take?

It varies with the condition.

Can this fully replace in-person physiotherapy?

Yes in many cases, but some conditions require a physical examination.

Can you interpret an MRI or X-ray I have already had?

Yes.

What do I do about sudden paralysis, altered sensation in the genital area, or loss of bladder or bowel control?

Seek emergency care immediately — see the safety box.

Is it allowed to hurt when I exercise?

Some pain is often acceptable and not harmful. We go through where your limit lies, so you know what you can ignore and what you should respect.

How long before I notice a difference?

Usually four to six weeks with regular exercise — tendons and muscles respond at different rates.

Do I need equipment at home in order to exercise?

Rarely. Most programmes are built on body weight and simple aids you already have.

Fifteen common conditions

Neck pain from sedentary work

Typical age: Adults of working age.
Background: Common with sedentary work and poor ergonomics.
Symptoms: Stiffness, pain in the neck and shoulders.
What the doctor looks for: Posture, and working position.
Investigations: Clinical assessment.
Diagnosis: The clinical picture.
Management: Exercise and ergonomic adjustments.
Follow-up: According to the course.
Prognosis: Good.
What you can do yourself: Break up the sitting every half hour; ergonomics helps, but movement breaks help more.
When should you book?: For problems lasting more than three weeks.

Back pain from lifting

Typical age: Adults.
Background: Overloading from poor lifting technique.
Symptoms: Pain in the lower back, often on movement.
What the doctor looks for: The pattern of pain, and lifting habits.
Investigations: Clinical assessment.
Diagnosis: The clinical picture.
Management: Strength training, technique training.
Follow-up: According to the course.
Prognosis: Good.
What you can do yourself: Keep moving; bed rest prolongs the whole course.
When should you book?: For problems lasting more than two weeks, or for pain radiating into the leg.

Osteoarthritis

Typical age: More common with rising age.
Background: A degenerative joint disease causing stiffness and pain.
Symptoms: Pain and stiffness, particularly after rest.
What the doctor looks for: The pattern of symptoms.
Investigations: The clinical picture, sometimes an X-ray.
Diagnosis: The clinical picture, with or without imaging findings.
Management: Physical activity, pain relief.
Follow-up: Regular.
Prognosis: Chronic but manageable.
What you can do yourself: Strength training is the most effective treatment and has a better documented effect than most medicines.
When should you book?: For joint pain that is affecting everyday life.

Muscle and ligament injuries

Typical age: All ages; more common with activity.
Background: Injuries during training or activity.
Symptoms: Pain, swelling, reduced function.
What the doctor looks for: The mechanism of injury.
Investigations: Clinical assessment.
Diagnosis: The clinical picture.
Management: Rest, a gradual return, rehabilitation.
Follow-up: According to the course.
Prognosis: Good with the right rehabilitation.
What you can do yourself: Load it gradually from the first few days — complete rest makes the healing worse.
When should you book?: If you cannot bear weight on it, or for problems lasting more than two weeks.

Shoulder problems (for example impingement)

Typical age: Adults.
Background: Impingement or overloading in the shoulder joint.
Symptoms: Pain when lifting the arm.
What the doctor looks for: The pattern of movement.
Investigations: Clinical assessment.
Diagnosis: The clinical picture.
Management: Physiotherapy, pain relief.
Follow-up: According to the course.
Prognosis: Good with the right rehabilitation.
What you can do yourself: Keep the shoulder moving within the pain-free range, even during the acute phase.
When should you book?: For problems lasting more than four weeks.

Knee problems

Typical age: All adult ages.
Background: Several possible causes, from overloading to osteoarthritis.
Symptoms: Pain, sometimes swelling or a feeling of instability.
What the doctor looks for: The level of function.
Investigations: Clinical assessment, sometimes a review of imaging.
Diagnosis: The clinical picture.
Management: Targeted exercise, pain relief.
Follow-up: According to the course.
Prognosis: Good with the right rehabilitation.
What you can do yourself: Strengthen the thigh muscles — stronger thighs take load off the knee more than anything else.
When should you book?: If the knee locks, swells, or gives way.

Post-operative rehabilitation

Typical age: All ages, after surgery.
Background: Structured exercise after a surgical procedure.
Symptoms: Reduced function in the operated area.
What the doctor looks for: How the healing is progressing, and the level of function.
Investigations: A review of the operation notes.
Diagnosis: Already known; this concerns the rehabilitation.
Management: An individually adapted exercise programme.
Follow-up: Regular.
Prognosis: Good with structured rehabilitation.
What you can do yourself: Follow the programme even when it feels unnecessary — the first few weeks often decide the final result.
When should you book?: As soon as you have been given the go-ahead after surgery.

Sports injuries

Typical age: All ages; more common in active people.
Background: An acute or overuse injury during sport.
Symptoms: Pain, swelling, reduced function.
What the doctor looks for: The mechanism of injury.
Investigations: Clinical assessment.
Diagnosis: The clinical picture.
Management: Rest, a gradual return, rehabilitation.
Follow-up: According to the course.
Prognosis: Good with the right rehabilitation.
What you can do yourself: Increase the load by no more than ten per cent a week when returning.
When should you book?: For problems lasting more than three weeks despite adapting.

Chronic pain — rehabilitation support

Typical age: All adult ages.
Background: Long-standing pain that affects function and everyday life.
Symptoms: Pain, reduced movement, sometimes fatigue.
What the doctor looks for: The limitation of function.
Investigations: Clinical assessment.
Diagnosis: The clinical picture.
Management: Structured, gradual rehabilitation.
Follow-up: Regular.
Prognosis: Improved function is possible with the right programme.
What you can do yourself: Start at a level that feels too easy and increase very slowly — that is the key with long-standing pain.
When should you book?: For pain lasting more than three months that limits your function.

Balance and walking difficulties

Typical age: All ages; more common in older people.
Background: Several possible causes, from muscle weakness to nerve involvement.
Symptoms: An unsteady gait, difficulty walking longer distances.
What the doctor looks for: The level of function, and the risk of falling.
Investigations: Clinical assessment.
Diagnosis: The clinical picture.
Management: Balance training, strength training.
Follow-up: Regular.
Prognosis: Good improvement is possible with the right training.
What you can do yourself: A few minutes of balance training daily has a measurable effect within weeks.
When should you book?: After a fall, or when you feel more unsteady on your feet.

Rehabilitation after a stroke

Typical age: Most common from 65, but it occurs at all ages.
Background: The brain's capacity to reorganise makes rehabilitation after a stroke worthwhile long after the acute phase — improvement is possible over months to years, not only during the first few weeks. Many people are told that "what you have regained after six months is what you get", which does not match current knowledge.
Common symptoms: Reduced strength, balance difficulties, difficulty walking, reduced fine motor control.
What the doctor looks for: The level of function, what has improved so far, and which activities matter most to the patient.
Investigations: A functional assessment; a review of previous rehabilitation.
How the assessment is made: From current function and individual goals.
Management: Task-specific training with high repetition — the amount of training is the strongest factor in improvement.
Follow-up: Regular.
Risk factors to know: No rehabilitation or too short a course of it, inactivity, depression after stroke (common and undertreated).
Common misconception: That improvement stops after six months. Continued training gives continued improvement in many people.
What you can do yourself: Practise what you actually want to be able to do — task-specific training works better than general exercises.
When should you book?: At any time after a stroke, however long ago it was.
Prognosis: Continued improvement is possible long after the acute phase.

Pelvic floor problems

Typical age: All adult ages; most common after childbirth and after the menopause.
Background: Pelvic floor dysfunction — urinary leakage, a feeling of prolapse, pain — is very common but rarely talked about. Pelvic floor training has a good documented effect, but requires the right technique and at least three months of consistency, which many people are never told.
Common symptoms: Urinary leakage on coughing or exertion, urgency, a feeling of heaviness in the pelvis, pain during sex.
What the doctor looks for: The type of leakage, the birth history, and whether the person can activate the pelvic floor correctly.
Investigations: History; a functional assessment by a physiotherapist with pelvic floor expertise.
How the assessment is made: From the type of symptom — stress leakage and urge leakage are treated differently.
Management: Structured pelvic floor training; sometimes combined with other treatment.
Follow-up: After three months.
Risk factors to know: Vaginal birth, excess weight, a chronic cough, heavy lifting, the menopause, constipation.
Common misconception: That urinary leakage after childbirth or with age is normal and something you have to live with. It is common, but not something you have to accept.
What you can do yourself: Pelvic floor exercises done correctly — many people squeeze the wrong muscles. An assessment of the technique is often decisive.
When should you book?: For urinary leakage or a feeling of heaviness, however long you have had it.
Prognosis: Good — most people get considerably better with correct training.

Exercise with a chronic illness

Typical age: All adult ages.
Background: Physical activity has a documented treatment effect in a long list of chronic illnesses — diabetes, heart failure, COPD, depression, osteoarthritis. Even so, many people hold back for fear of harming themselves or because they do not know what is safe. Properly adapted exercise is in practice always possible.
Common symptoms: Uncertainty rather than symptoms; sometimes breathlessness or pain that creates fear.
What the doctor looks for: The diagnosis, the current level of function, and which symptoms should make you stop.
Investigations: A review of the diagnosis and previous investigations; sometimes an exercise test where there is doubt.
How the assessment is made: Individually, from the diagnosis and fitness level.
Management: An adapted exercise programme with clear limits.
Follow-up: When symptoms change or when the level is to be increased.
Risk factors to know: Uncontrolled heart disease, a recent cardiac event, uncontrolled blood pressure — these require assessment before starting.
Common misconception: That you should be careful and hold back with a chronic illness. For most people, adapted exercise is one of the most effective treatments there is.
What you can do yourself: Start low, increase gradually, and learn which symptoms should make you stop — rather than avoiding exertion altogether.
When should you book?: Before you start exercising with a chronic diagnosis, for an individual plan.
Prognosis: Very good — exercise improves both symptoms and outlook in most chronic illnesses.

Rehabilitation after a long illness or period of inactivity

Typical age: All adult ages.
Background: Muscle mass and fitness are lost quickly during bed rest or a longer period of inactivity — considerably faster than they are rebuilt. After a long period of illness it is therefore common for patients to try to return too fast, have a setback, and conclude that they cannot manage it. Structured progression solves this.
Common symptoms: Marked fatigue on exertion, muscle weakness, breathlessness during activities that used to be easy.
What the doctor looks for: How long the inactivity lasted, the current level of function, and the previous level.
Investigations: A functional assessment.
How the assessment is made: From the starting point and a realistic rate of progression.
Management: A gradually increasing exercise programme.
Follow-up: Regular, with adjustment of the level.
Risk factors to know: Older age, a longer period of bed rest, undernutrition during the illness, a chronic illness alongside.
Common misconception: That you should be able to return to your previous level straight away. Building up takes considerably longer than breaking down, and returning too fast almost always causes a setback.
What you can do yourself: Start below what you feel capable of and increase slowly — that is harder than it sounds, but decisive.
When should you book?: After a long illness or period of inactivity, for a realistic plan.
Prognosis: Good — most people regain their function with patient progression.

Dizziness and balance training

Typical age: All ages; most common in older people.
Background: For certain causes of dizziness — particularly benign positional vertigo — there are specific manoeuvres that can have an almost immediate effect. For other balance problems, structured balance training is very effective. Many people live with problems for a long time that could have been dealt with quickly.
Common symptoms: Dizziness on changing position, unsteadiness, feeling uncertain in the dark.
What the doctor looks for: Whether the dizziness is triggered by specific head movements (which points to positional vertigo) or is more constant.
Investigations: Clinical balance assessment; positional testing.
How the assessment is made: From what triggers the dizziness.
Management: Specific repositioning manoeuvres for positional vertigo; balance training otherwise.
Follow-up: After treatment.
Risk factors to know: Older age, previous head trauma, ear infections, reduced vision, neuropathy in the feet.
Common misconception: That you should avoid the movements that trigger the dizziness. With positional vertigo it is precisely through controlled changes of position that the treatment works.
What you can do yourself: Note exactly which head movement triggers the dizziness — that decides whether a specific manoeuvre can help.
When should you book?: For dizziness triggered by a change of position — it is often quickly treatable.
Prognosis: Very good with positional vertigo; good with balance training otherwise.
