At some point, we all experience aches, discomfort, or limitations in mobility. While minor issues can often be resolved on their own, there are times when seeking professional help, like physiotherapy, can make a world of difference. At Chiltern Private, our team of experienced physiotherapists, led by Mr. Prash Bathini, a chartered physiotherapist and Advanced MSK Practitioner, specialises in helping patients recover from pain and regain mobility to get back to the activities they enjoy.
Signs You Should Consider Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy can address a wide range of conditions, from acute injuries to chronic pain, and it’s suitable for people of all ages and activity levels. Here are some common signs that it might be time to see a physiotherapist:
- Persistent Pain - Pain that lingers beyond a few days or weeks, whether it’s in your back, neck, knees, or other areas, may indicate a deeper issue. Physiotherapy can help identify and treat the root causes of pain, often using a combination of targeted exercises, manual therapy, and preventive care.
- Reduced Mobility or Flexibility - If you’re finding it hard to move freely or have noticed a significant reduction in flexibility, physiotherapy can help restore your range of motion. At Chiltern Private, we create customised treatment plans that address your specific limitations and goals.
- Chronic Conditions and Pain Management - Conditions like arthritis, fibromyalgia, and other chronic pain syndromes can be effectively managed through physiotherapy. Our team provides solutions that alleviate pain and improve your daily functionality, often working alongside our medical team to ensure comprehensive care.
- Pelvic Floor Issues - For those experiencing pelvic pain, urinary leakage, or postnatal recovery needs, physiotherapy can be particularly beneficial. At Chiltern Private, we have a specialist pelvic floor physiotherapist who provides treatments for conditions like prolapse, urinary incontinence, and pelvic discomfort. We also offer our version of The Mummy MOT, combining physiotherapy with medical treatments, including the Emsella chair, to promote pelvic well-being.
- Post-Surgical Rehabilitation - Recovering from surgery often requires a structured rehabilitation plan. Physiotherapy helps patients regain strength, mobility, and confidence after procedures, ensuring that recovery is as effective and comfortable as possible.
- Sports Injuries or Recurring Injuries - Whether you’re an athlete or simply enjoy an active lifestyle, injuries are sometimes unavoidable. Physiotherapy can speed up recovery from sports-related injuries and help prevent recurrence, improving your strength and movement patterns for better performance.
- Difficulty with Daily Activities - If everyday tasks, such as walking, climbing stairs, or carrying groceries, are becoming increasingly challenging, physiotherapy can help. Our team works on strengthening the muscles and joints necessary for daily activities, enabling you to maintain independence and a high quality of life.

- Your Treatment - Treatment plans are designed to meet your unique needs, whether they require a single session or a series of appointments. This might include manual therapy, guided exercises, or additional treatments such as joint injections with PRP, hyaluronic acid, or steroid injections, all aimed at providing lasting relief.
