What actually happens during a Physiotherapy Initial Assessment?

Starting physiotherapy can feel a little daunting if you’re not sure what to expect. At Back2Front, we keep it simple:

🔎 ASSESS
We’ll talk through your symptoms, your concerns and what you want to achieve, followed by an assessment of your movement, strength and function.

💬 EXPLAIN
We’ll explain what we’ve found and help you understand what may be contributing to your symptoms.

💪 REHAB
Together, we’ll create a personalised plan to help you improve, build strength and get back to doing the things you enjoy.

🔄 REVIEW
We’ll keep track of your progress and adapt your plan as you improve.

It’s much more than simply watching you run!

🎥 1. We film you running
We capture your running from different angles so we can see exactly how you move.

📊 2. We analyse the footage
We use the video and data to look at different aspects of your running technique, including things like your stride, cadence, ground contact and how your body moves throughout each step.

🔎 3. We identify areas to work on
The analysis helps us spot any areas where your technique could potentially be improved or where you may benefit from changes to your training, strength or movement.

💬 4. We talk you through it
We don't just give you a load of graphs and numbers! Chris takes you through the footage and explains what the information actually means for your running.

🏃‍♀️ 5. We give you practical advice
The aim is to help you understand your running and give you useful, individual advice that you can take into your training.

We film it. We analyse it. We explain it. You understand your running.

𝟭:𝟭 𝗥𝗘𝗛𝗔𝗕 𝗜𝗡 𝗔𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡: Sometimes it’s not about doing more exercises - it’s about making sure you’re doing them in the right way for you.

In this video, Lauren is working through a squat to box with a patient.

🎥 At the start, we can see the patient leaning too far forward during the movement - something we commonly see and that can place unnecessary stress through the lower back.

Rather than simply telling them to “do it differently”, we work together to understand the movement and make small adjustments to their position and technique.

🗣 Throughout the session, Lauren demonstrates, observes and provides feedback until the movement is better targeted towards the correct muscles and area we want to work.

This is what makes 1:1 rehabilitation different:
✔️ Individualised to you
✔️ Hands-on guidance and feedback
✔️ Technique corrected and adapted
✔️ Exercises targeted to your specific goals
✔️ Progressed as you improve

𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿… 𝗿𝗲𝗵𝗮𝗯 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗿𝘆!

We want you to feel comfortable, supported and confident throughout your rehabilitation - and yes, there’s always room for a good laugh along the way!😂

Strength isn’t just about muscle. It’s about health.

Muscle mass and physical function naturally decline with age, but regular strength training can help us maintain the strength, mobility and independence we need for everyday life.

And it’s not just about getting stronger.

Regular physical activity can help support:
🏋️ Muscle strength and physical function
🦴 Bone health
❤️ Cardiovascular health
🧠 Mental and cognitive health
🚶 Mobility and independence
⚖️ Balance and reducing the risk of falls as we get older

As we get older, we naturally lose muscle mass and strength. Regular strength training helps slow this decline, helping us stay strong, mobile and independent for longer.

That’s why our Men’s Strength Circuit combines strength and cardio in a structured session designed to help you build strength, improve fitness and support your long-term health.

Train for the life you want to keep living.

Rehabilitation is an important part of the physiotherapy pathway at Back2Front.

Following your physiotherapy assessment and treatment, your physiotherapist may refer you for a block of 1:1 rehabilitation sessions to help you continue working towards your goals.

Our rehabilitation sessions are:

🔹 1:1 and individualised - your programme is tailored specifically to you
🔹 Goal-focused - exercises are chosen around what you want and need to achieve
🔹 Progressive - exercises can be adapted and progressed as your strength, mobility and confidence improve
🔹 Supported - our therapists demonstrate, observe and guide you through your exercises
🔹 Part of your physiotherapy pathway - your progress is linked back to your physiotherapist

🏁 At the end of your rehabilitation block, you’ll have a review with one of our physiotherapists to assess your progress and discuss the next steps.

Whether you’re rebuilding strength after an injury or operation, working on mobility, improving function or returning to the activities you enjoy - our aim is to help you keep moving forward 💪

You see the finished videos, the professional photos and the perfectly timed posts…

But what you don’t see is everything that happens before we actually get the shot! 👀😂

From failed takes and forgetting what we were saying, to laughing halfway through and generally making a complete mess of trying to create content…

This is the reality of content days at Back2Front! 🤣

We might be serious about helping our patients, but that doesn’t mean we take ourselves too seriously!

Here's a little look behind the scenes at the team when the cameras come out…

1:1 REHAB IN ACTION

It’s not just about doing an exercise - it’s about doing it right for you.

In our 1:1 Rehab sessions, our therapists work closely with you to:
✅ Teach and demonstrate exercises
✅ Check your technique
✅ Make adjustments where needed
✅ Progress or modify exercises as you improve

Here, Joel is demonstrating a dumbbell lat row before observing the patient perform it, making sure they feel confident with the movement and understand exactly what they’re doing.

Individual attention. Personalised exercise. Progress that’s right for you.
