Pain is confusing. It shouldn't stay that way.
Home physiotherapy for back pain and knee & hip arthritis.
I'll explain what's most likely happening, tell you honestly whether I can help, and give you a plan you understand.
Start understanding your painWhat's hurting?
Both start with the same home assessment. Read whichever sounds like you.
Back pain
It settles for a week, then comes back. Stiff mornings, bad after long drives, and nobody has really explained why.
Knee & hip arthritis
Getting out of a low chair is the hard part. Stairs hurt. An X-ray said arthritis and the conversation ended there.
Why it keeps coming back
You have taken the painkillers. Someone has massaged it. It goes quiet for a while and then it returns.
If the pain keeps coming back, treating the pain itself is usually only part of the answer. Until you understand why it keeps happening, it often keeps returning.
How it works
Answer a few questions
About five minutes. It tells me whether this is safe to treat and where you are.
We talk on WhatsApp
Ask me anything you want to ask first. Then we pick a day and a time.
I come to you
90 minutes in your home. You do not travel anywhere.
What you walk away with
You finally understand what is happening.
Not a word you have to go and look up afterwards. An actual explanation of why this pain is here and why it keeps returning, in ordinary language, with time to ask questions.
You leave knowing exactly what your next step is.
Not a plan that arrives next week. You will know what to do, why you are doing it, and what should change.
You stop guessing whether it is serious.
Most back, knee and hip pain is not dangerous. Some of it needs a doctor. You will know which one you are dealing with.
You get an honest answer about whether I can help.
Including if the answer is no.
What it costs
It stands on its own and you are not signing up to anything by booking it.
If it turns out you need ongoing treatment, that works in four week blocks, and you decide at the end of the assessment rather than before it. You are never committing to more than four weeks at a time, and later blocks cost less than the first as the visits space out.
Plenty of people need one visit and a clear plan rather than a course of treatment.
This is probably for you if
- Your back pain has lasted more than a few weeks
- You have knee or hip arthritis, the stiff and aching kind that makes stairs, standing and walking hard
- You have had treatment before and still have the pain
- You are arranging care for a parent who finds it hard to get to a clinic
- The pain settles for a while and keeps returning
If you are booking for someone else, that is common. Answer the questions as best you can on their behalf.
When it is not me you need
Some pain needs a doctor before it needs a physiotherapist. There are warning signs that mean exercise is the wrong answer, and a few of them are serious.
The questions I ask before booking exist to catch exactly that. If your answers suggest you should see a doctor first, I will tell you and point you in the right direction.
That costs me a booking. It is still the right thing to do.
How I work
Alao DanielLicensed physiotherapistI am Alao Daniel, a licensed physiotherapist.
I think good treatment should leave you understanding your own body, not depending on someone else's hands.
That means I explain what I find, answer your questions, and give you a plan you can actually follow. My aim isn't to keep you coming back. It's to help you get back to living with confidence.
Where I visit
