Back to your sport after injury
A serious injury shouldn't mean the end of your active life. It means you need the right plan, not just rest and hope.
Common injuries we treat
Assessment and rehabilitation across the musculoskeletal system.
Ankle sprains
Ligament injuries from sport, running or everyday activity.
Muscle tears
Hamstring, calf, quad and other soft tissue injuries.
Ligament injuries
ACL, MCL and other knee ligament problems.
Achilles & tendon issues
Tendinopathy, tendon tears and chronic tendon pain.
Post surgery rehab
Hip, knee, shoulder replacements and ACL reconstruction.
Overuse injuries
Repetitive strain, stress fractures and biomechanical issues.
Knee pain
Patellofemoral pain, runner's knee and cartilage problems.
Shoulder injuries
Rotator cuff, impingement and instability issues.
“I have had pain in my ankle for 2 years. Nothing really helped. I saw Josh and he listened to all of my health issues, not just the ankle. I felt a huge weight lift after just one session.”
Recovery isn't just rest.
It's a structured process
Accurate assessment
We identify exactly what's damaged, what's not, and what your body needs to heal. No guessing.
Protect and restore
We manage the early phase carefully reducing pain and protecting tissue while starting to rebuild movement.
Rebuild strength and confidence
Progressive, specific exercise rehab tailored to your sport, your body and your goals not generic handouts.
Return to full activity
A structured return to sport plan so you come back at the right time, not too early and not too cautiously.
Hear a success story
Real people who came in injured and left with a plan that worked.
Real recovery, not just rest
An accurate diagnosis, a structured plan and a return to sport you can actually trust.
- Knee problem identified
- Inflammation identified and explained
- Clear solution and recovery plan created
- Felt results straight away
What our patients say
Torn Achilles
“Visited the lovely Josh for a torn Achilles physio session. He was professional and polite. He also takes the time to understand your needs to administer insightful and effective treatment.”
Tennis elbow, back training
“Josh has helped me recover from tennis elbow within a couple of months which is quicker than I expected after having the same issue a few years ago and it taking a lot longer to recover.”
Back playing football
“After a sporting injury, I was seeking out a local physiotherapist to take a look and help me to get back playing football again. I was pleased to find Josh at BetterMe Physiotherapy.”
Out of pain is the start, not the finish
It's to get you back to full strength with less chance of it happening again.
An accurate diagnosis
Most people never get a clear explanation of what's actually wrong. We take time to explain exactly what's happened and what needs to heal.
Tailored rehab
No two injuries are the same. Your rehab is built around your sport, your schedule and your specific goals not a standard template.
Reduced further injury risk
Returning too early is one of the biggest causes of further injury. We make sure you're genuinely ready physically and mentally.

From injured to back playing
What each stage actually looks like, so you always know where you are.
You know what it is
Graded accurately, so the timeline is real rather than a guess.
Loading again
Back under load early, at a level the tissue can actually handle.
Tested, not hoped
Objective criteria before you go back, not a date in the diary.
It stays fixed
Capacity rebuilt past where you were, so the same thing does not recur.
