At Solent Specialist Physiotherapy, care is organised by body area and clinical expertise, not one-size-fits-all treatment.
Many patients come to us after other approaches haven’t worked. Our specialist clinicians bring experience, judgement and perspective to complex cases — ensuring you’re seen by the right specialist from the start, with a clear diagnosis and a structured plan forward.
Why Choose Solent Specialist Physiotherapy?
Â
Specialists, not generalists
Each of our physiotherapists focuses on a specific area of the body, bringing deep expertise and senior clinical judgement to your care. This allows more accurate assessment, clearer decision-making from the very first appointment and and a faster, more meaningful recovery.
A clear diagnosis and plan — not trial and error
When symptoms are persistent or unclear, understanding what is really driving the problem matters. We take a structured approach to assessment and rehabilitation, using appropriate imaging, targeted interventions, or onward referral when needed — so decisions are made with clarity and confidence.
Connected to the wider medical system
Working at specialist level within both the NHS and private practice, we have close links with GPs, orthopaedic consultants and NHS pathways. This helps ensure care is joined-up, well-communicated and appropriately guided.
Who our service is designed for
You may benefit from specialist input if:
-
your symptoms have not improved despite previous treatment
-
you want a clear diagnosis and a plan that works for you
-
imaging or differing medical opinions have left you uncertain about next steps
-
you value experienced, specialist-led decision-making — including expert-level rehab, appropriate use of imaging, targeted interventions such as injections, and onward referral when required
Which part of your body needs help?
At Solent Specialist Physio, we don’t offer one-size-fits-all treatment. Each part of the body behaves differently, and each condition and injury needs a different kind of expertise. That’s why our clinics are organised by body area — so you can see the right specialist for your problem from the very start.
