Our patients come from all walks of life and all age groups – ranging from babies to people in their hundreds. However, the majority of our patients are typically in their 50s, 60s, or 70s. These individuals are still young and active, wanting to maintain an active lifestyle but find themselves sidelined by injuries that prevent them from doing so.
Injuries and pain can significantly impact a person’s life, preventing them from socialising with friends, going to work, or even getting a good night’s sleep. Our goal at Chichester Physio is to help patients overcome these challenges and achieve their personal goals, no matter what they may be.
Many patients come to the clinic after trying various treatments – seeing their doctor, being prescribed painkillers, anti-inflammatories, or simply being told to rest, often without any real solution. With the rise of “Doctor Google,” many patients seek online advice, but what’s really needed is a clear understanding of the body’s issues which can only be achieved through visiting a trained physio. This is where the first session at Chichester Physio comes in – identifying the source of the pain. Once the cause is found, an effective treatment plan can be created. Simply treating the pain won’t resolve it if the root cause is not addressed.
At the clinic, a combination of treatments is used, such as electrotherapy, hands-on techniques, ultrasound, acupuncture, and kinesio tape, to provide short-term relief. Once the pain is under control, the focus shifts to rehabilitation, strengthening, stretching and restoring proper movement patterns. A lot of this work can also be continued at home in between treatments, empowering patients to actively participate in their recovery.

Many people come to the clinic and mention that they’ve been to several other practices in the area, asking, “Why has nobody done this before?” It’s always a difficult question to answer. At Chichester Physio, we focus on getting patients back to doing what they love as quickly as possible. We take the time to listen to each patient, understanding how they arrived at their current situation, why they’re there, and what their goals are for recovery.
Once the team has listened to the patient’s concerns and learned about their lifestyle, they perform a thorough assessment to fully understand what’s going on before beginning treatment. Patients are always walked through their treatment plan. Initially, the treatment focuses on hands-on techniques, targeting the root cause of the problem. This may include hands-on therapy, electrotherapy, and massage, with specialised massage therapists available at the clinic to provide additional support.
After the initial treatment, which may take two or three sessions, the focus then shifts to rehabilitation. Treatment and rehabilitation are not viewed as separate stages but are merged to provide the best results. We also have sports therapists who work alongside the team, collaborating to give patients the best possible outcomes.
