Physio & Movement Care
Â
Physiotherapy-led support for pain, strength and confidence in midlife.
Â
At CDS, we support people in midlife who are experiencing pain, stiffness, injury, or uncertainty about how to move safely again.
Care is physiotherapy-led, evidence-informed and designed to restore confidence in your body — not just manage symptoms.
Where This Fits in the CDS Pathway
Â
Physio & Movement Care at CDS sits within a clear, physiotherapy-led pathway.
Some people begin with physiotherapy when pain, complexity or reassurance is needed. Others transition into supported movement and strength once pain settles and confidence improves.
The focus is always on safety, clarity and long-term independence — not short-term fixes or repeated treatment.
