Focused care from the hip and pelvis to the feet.
Flow Clinic is a musculoskeletal clinic focused on pain, injury and movement problems involving the hip, pelvis, knee, ankle and foot.
We look beyond the single painful area to understand how strength, joint movement, balance, footwear and physical demands may be affecting recovery. The aim is to provide a clear explanation and a practical path back to comfortable movement.
The painful area is only one part of the picture.
Hip, knee, ankle and foot symptoms can be influenced by more than one structure. Joint movement, muscle capacity, balance, walking pattern, footwear and changes in activity can all affect how the body tolerates load.
For that reason, assessment is not limited to the exact point of pain. We consider how the connected areas are functioning and what the body needs to manage again.
Rehabilitation is then kept specific and practical, with progress measured against meaningful activities rather than symptoms alone.
- Assessment from the hip and pelvis through to the feet
- Clear explanation of relevant clinical findings
- Rehabilitation matched to current ability
- Practical exercises and activity guidance
- Progress toward everyday movement, work and sport
Thorough assessment. Clear explanation. Practical rehabilitation.
Each appointment is designed to help you understand the problem, know what to work on and see how progress will be measured.
Understand the full history
We discuss how the problem began, what aggravates it, what has changed and which activities are currently difficult.
Assess the connected areas
The examination may include joint movement, strength, balance, walking mechanics and the demands placed on the hip, knee, ankle and foot.
Build useful progress
Rehabilitation is progressed toward real tasks such as walking, stairs, work, gym training, running and sport.
Care designed for more than short-term symptom relief.
Reducing pain is important, but recovery also requires enough strength, mobility and confidence to manage normal physical demands again.
The plan is therefore guided by where you are now and what you need to return to, rather than using the same approach for every patient.
- Individual goals based on function
- Exercises that are realistic to complete
- Progression based on symptoms and capacity
- Support for work, walking, exercise and sport
