The reasons why you are not getting better and how to get pain free again.

What should you get from your physio initial assessment?

1. A DIAGNOSIS - or at least as close a diagnosis as possible. If you come out of an assessment session and you still do not know why you are in pain or injured , there is a problem...

2. A PROGNOSIS - you should be made aware of how long you should be expected to rehab before being better. Do not get me wrong sometimes it is very difficult to give an exact time scale. But you should at least know if it is going to be days, weeks or months.

3. A TREATMENT PLAN : That's maybe the most important point. Your physio must discuss with you what will happen in the next sessions. Some people need hands-on, some only exercises only, most a bit of both. Your physio must be able to explain what your plan entails and WHY. This will ensure that you know where you are going and what is expected to happen. Physio rehab is not a one-way path, it is collaboration between the physio and the patient and both sides need to do their part....

Baden - Physiotherapist

"Originally from Birmingham, after completing my license to practice Physiotherapy, I relocated to Edinburgh.

Following a solid grounding in musculoskeletal and sport injuries injuries through the NHS and working with Edinburgh Accies Rugby and Hibernian Academy teams, I moved to Bermuda to work in a private Sports and injury Clinic.

After working in Bermuda, the US, and New Zealand, I returned back home to Fife. Having met Benji and I was encouraged by his ethos towards physiotherapy and his client centred approach.

I joined Benji Physiotherapy in May 2021

I have over 15 years’ experience as a physiotherapist, with 8 years working in professional sport, as lead physiotherapist for professional sailing teams American Magic and Softbank Team Japan. For both teams, I oversaw the rehabilitation of all injured athletes. I also worked in unison with strength and conditioning staff to create bespoke injury prevention protocols and lead training sessions for each of the sailors.

Before my roles in professional sailing, I was a manager of a private clinic in Bermuda, working largely with the Bermuda national sports teams and high-level individuals returning them to their sport. This often involved designing and running injury prevention classes for team and individual sports such as football, cricket, swimming, golf, and athletics. Within the clinic, I also ran rehab sessions for lower limb, spinal, and upper limb injuries. Often my role would require me to travel to different countries to provide physiotherapy cover for both the national football team and cricket team.

Injury prevention is key area of interest of mine. I have constructed several injury preventions programs across numerous sports including football, sailing, swimming, cricket, golf, rugby, and athletics. As well as being able to deliver a sound injury prevention program, I also keep up to date with the latest techniques and treatments to ensure optimal, evidence-based rehabilitation of all my injured athletes.

Here is a little glimpse on how we run assessment at .

As you can see, nothing is left to chance.

1. Is the patient safe? Is Physio appropriate?

First, we make sure the patient is safe and further emergency assessment is not required. Luckily, it does not happen often but some patients might present with alarming sign of serious pathology/illness (including mental ones) that have sometimes nothing to do with physiotherapy and requires immediate medical help. We will refer the patient to the appropriate service then.

It is also possible that physiotherapy is not at that moment in time the most appropriate treatment for the patient. We will NEVER start a series of treatment if we feel that physiotherapy is not a good option for our patient.

2. The subjective assessment

The session can then be started by letting you explain to us your injury, your pain, your operation. It is the moment when you share how the problem affects or limits your life, what makes it worse or better, what your fears or hopes are. During that chat we will start building a potential diagnosis and the objective assessment will help us to confirm it.

3. The objective assessment

This the part when we will run a series of selected tests to run-in or run-out possible issues and give us a good idea of your ability to move, confirm a diagnosis or a prognosis. We draw from them a series a data that will be reused throughout your treatment o show you the improvements made.

4. The Diagnosis

Once diagnosis established, we will explain to you what's going on, how and why it happened and what can be done to fix it.

5. The treatment Plan

This is final part of your assessment. By then we have a good idea of the problem and what makes it better or worse. We will then put in place a treatment programme suited to YOUR needs, abilities and goals. We will explain what techniques will work best for your problem and why, and establish a tailored exercise programme.
