What hurts?
Whatever's holding you back. Recover + Return means getting you moving again - pain-free and back to what matters to you. Click on the headings to the right to see how we can help.
-
Trouble reaching overhead, sleeping on your side, or lifting? We'll get to the bottom of what's restricting your shoulder and build it back up safely.
-
Pulled muscle, recurring strain, or an injury that's kept coming back? Our approach draws on athletic performance medicine to get you back to sport, not just back to "normal."
-
Struggling to bend, twist, or sit for long periods? Back pain can affect everything from work to sleep — we'll identify the cause and build a plan to get you moving freely again.
-
Pain going up and down stairs, or after exercise? Whether it's an old injury or a new niggle, we assess the root cause rather than just treating the symptom.
-
Stiffness, headaches, or trouble turning your head to check your blind spot? Neck pain often builds up from posture and daily habits — we'll pinpoint the cause and get you moving freely again.
Meet founder Ben Stirling
For 19 years, Ben has worked as a physiotherapist entirely within professional sport, treating elite athletes at the top of their game. He founded Corephysio because he believes that same standard of care shouldn't be reserved for professionals - it should be available to everyone. That's the idea behind Recover + Return.
Whether it's managing a long-standing ache, coming back from a sports injury, or simply wanting to keep doing what you love — walking, gardening, playing with your kids, or getting back to training — Corephysio is built to get you there.
The same hands-on techniques and evidence-based rehab strategies used in elite sport now shape how Ben treats every patient. You won't just walk away with a generic sheet of exercises — you'll get a tailored plan built on 19 years of experience, an MSc in Biomechanics, and ongoing PhD research into shoulder injuries, Ben's specialist area.

In just a few sessions Ben was able to fix a shoulder issue which i had pain with for over a year. If i didn’t see Ben I might have ended up on the sugeons table.

Frequently asked questions

Consultation: £125 (45–60 mins) · Treatment & Rehabilitation: £100 (45 mins).
For patients who need a longer course of care, we also offer block-booking packages designed to give the best possible outcomes for your rehab:
CORE4 (£375): A 4-session package suited to conditions that respond well to early, focused treatment.
Core10 (£950): A 10-session package built for more complex or longer-term rehab.
See the next tile for details of what is best suited to these packages.
-
This varies from person to person, but as a guide: our CORE4 package (4 sessions) works well for conditions that respond to early, focused treatment — such as early-diagnosed tendon pain, shoulder impingement, or acute neck pain. For more complex or long-standing issues — such as post-surgical rehabilitation, long-standing lower back pain, or chronic tendon pain — our CORE10 package (10 sessions) is designed to give the structured, sustained care needed for the best outcome. We'll recommend the right path for you after your initial consultation.
-
No referral is needed — you can book directly with us for an assessment.
-
Comfortable, loose clothing that allows easy movement of the area being assessed (e.g. shorts for a knee/hip issue, a vest top for a shoulder issue).
-
Yes — we treat everything from everyday aches and post-surgical rehab through to performance and return-to-sport programmes for athletes.
