What is Physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy with Sumayyah (Sam): Helping You Move and Feel Better

Meet Sumayyah – or Sam, as most of our patients call her – our friendly and skilled physiotherapist here at Solihull Osteopathic Practice. Sam takes a very hands-on, musculoskeletal approach to treatment, much like our osteopaths. Whether you’re dealing with an injury, recovering from surgery, or just not moving the way you used to, she’s here to help.

Sam can support you with everything from injury diagnosis, massage, stretching, and joint mobilisation to tailored rehab exercises that suit your lifestyle and goals. She’s especially great if you’re looking for support before surgery or help getting back on your feet afterwards.

At our practice, we know that no two bodies are the same. That’s why Sam works closely with each person to create a plan that fits them — helping you move better, feel stronger, and get back to doing the things you love.

What Can Physiotherapy Help With?

Physiotherapy isn’t just for injuries — it’s about helping your body work at its best. Here’s how Sam can help:

  • Pain Relief & Recovery
    Whether it’s back pain, joint pain, or a sports injury, we’ll work to get you moving more comfortably again.

  • Rehab & Strength Building
    Recovering from an injury or surgery? Sam will guide you through exercises and movements to build your strength safely.

  • Posture & Movement
    Sometimes pain comes from the way we move. Sam can help improve posture and correct imbalances to prevent future problems.

  • Sports Support
    Whether you’re a casual runner or a regular gym-goer, we can help improve performance and reduce the risk of injury.

  • Before and After Surgery
    Preparing for surgery or getting back to normal afterwards? Physiotherapy can help improve strength, speed up recovery, and make the whole process less stressful.

Why Combine Physiotherapy and Osteopathy?

Physiotherapy and osteopathy often work best together. While physio focuses more on movement and rehab, osteopathy looks at the whole body’s structure and alignment. Many of our patients find that using both gives them faster, more lasting results.
