To get you out of pain and help you learn how to stay there.
Our Values
You will feel listened to, respected and heard. We put what’s important to you as the main priority and work with you to find a solution that works for you.
This means we will always strive to help you understand not only what is causing the problem but why and how it has happened so a lasting solution can be found.
We don’t believe in wo wo or silver bullets so you can rest assured there’s a strong rationale for anything we suggest. Just ask if you’re not sure. Evidence-informed means we are looking forward rather than evidence-based that only looks backwards and is often behind the times.
A fancy way of saying we are always looking at how we help you learn enough so that you don’t need us. Having built a toolkit of strategies so you have the self-confidence to be back in control and handle whatever life can throw at you.
It’s a big deal putting your trust in someone to help, you need to know that we are firmly on your side so kindness will not be something you have to search for as it will be easy to feel in the room.
We want you to get better and stay there. This means we are always playing the balancing act of providing what you want whilst also helping you understand all the factors around what is causing your issue so you get what you need.
It’s sad that this needs to be said but there are too many egos in healthcare. Too many experts who you need to respect and listen to, who put the blame on you if you don’t get better rather than looking in the mirror at themselves. You won’t find that with us. Your story is the most important thing and listening to what matters to you is what needs the most respect. We’re in this together and will do it as a team.
I used to compare what we do to that of a mechanic but the analogy doesn’t work. There are too many people in the world in pain and nearly all of them aren’t broken.
I now think a driving instructor is a more suitable representation of what we do, your body has it’s own very good inbuilt mechanics, biting your tongue is usually better in a few days, broken bones a couple of months.
A great driving instructor will focus on being hands on to help initially, whilst building your confidence to drive independently and once you can do this unsupported leave you to it.
No one goes to a driving instructor forever and our aim is that you don’t need us forever.
We’ll get you out of pain using hands on, exercises and self management advice whilst teaching you how to stay there and look after yourself.
