Rehabilitation Experts

Years spent rehabilitating some of the world’s best athletes has given us unparallelled experience of how to assess, plan and implement world-class rehab from injury: pain to performance. Using this experience, we are able to help you meet your goals when a rehab plan is needed - from a simple ankle sprain to a complex ACL post operative return to play, and everything in-between.

Unlocking Your Potential

We see Physiotherapy as not just being about recovery — it’s about possibility. Through early intervention, expert guidance, and a pro-active approach, individuals are supported not only in overcoming injury but also in reaching new levels of performance, resilience, and self-belief.

The Human Touch

We truly understand that it’s never just a knee or hip, ankle or back that walks (or hobbles) through the door. We focus on the person or individual as a whole; listening to your context and applying a focussed person-centred approach that accommodates the unique demands of your lifestyle and goals to help shape your journey.

Tech-considerate

We love exploring new technologies and using these to help our clients get better outcomes. We promise not to lose the human touch we pride ourselves on where tech is concerned. But, used in the right way at the right time advances in technology in the physio and medical world provide us with exciting opportunities in our offerings to our clients as we journey together.

Assessment & Diagnosis

Without a thorough assessment (both verbal and physical) to obtain an accurate working diagnosis of your symptoms, condition and underlying cause, you may as well be throwing darts blindfolded. We take pride in always undertaking a thorough individualised assessment to truly understand you and your problems and goals. We might not be able to fix everything at this stage but we’ll almost always be able to give you sound advice and set you off on your recovery journey on the right foot from day one.

Manual Therapy

This can be a great tool to help pain relief, normalise movement, improve mobility or flexibility. Manual therapy is often used in combination with exercises or other treatment options like taping. Types of manual therapy include joint mobilisation techniques, soft tissue release / massage, assisted movement or stretches (to name a few).

Rehabilitation

Rehabilitation isn’t just throwing a few exercises together and hoping for the best. It’s a carefully crafted art of progressive exposure, creating capacity for change and expertly guiding someone through a return to their goals. And it’s one of our super-strengths. We’ve successfully rehabilitated some of the world’s best athletes and we pride ourselves on taking that same level of care with each and every client’s pathway to success. Whether it’s an ACL injury or a post-op shoulder to rehab (or anything in-between), we’ll ensure you’re on the right track. Contact us today to discuss your rehabilitation needs.

Exercise Therapy

We will often use exercise within our 1:1 treatment sessions and will usually give you some sort of exercise to do as homework too in order to facilitate a quicker progression of your treatment journey. Exercises can vary hugely depending on the intended outcome: flexibility, mobility, strength, control, balance etc. Regardless of what is involved, the advised exercise will always be tailored to your unique context and help get you back on track and smashing goals

Signposting

When a condition needs a referral to another medical or healthcare professional, suitable imaging (X-ray, MRI, Ultrasound) or would be best suited to a treatment option we can’t offer, we’ll always help you find a way forward. We’ve a growing network of trusted colleagues we can liaise with in the Moray and North East Scotland region (or national / international contacts should they be required).

What is your cancellation policy?

In order for everyone to have the opportunity to be seen in a timely fashion, we ask that you give as much notice as possible when needing to re-schedule or cancel a booking. If you cancel or ask to rearrange with a notice of less than 24 hours to your appointment start time, a fee equivalent to the full cost of the appointment will be charged.

Can I use my health insurance to pay?

The vast majority of insurers on the market have systematically under-valued physiotherapy services over many years. The professional fees they will pay for physiotherapy sessions when billing directly are not representative of the quality of service you will receive at RF Physiotherapy.

The only insurance company we will bill directly is Aviva. Other insurers may allow you to claim back your fees (or a percentage of them) after your appointment and we can provide you with a receipt for this. You should check with your insurance provider before booking an appointment.
