Evidence-Based Practice

At Restore Physio Sussex, I believe the best care comes from combining proven scientific research, professional expertise, and your personal goals. This is what’s known as evidence-based practice an approach that ensures every decision about your treatment is informed by the strongest available evidence.

What this means for you?

  • Your treatment plan is guided by up-to-date research on what works best.

  • Care is tailored to your unique needs, lifestyle, and recovery goals.

  • Outdated or unproven techniques are avoided your time and energy are focused where they’ll make the most difference.

How I Put Evidence into Practice

  • Thorough Assessment - Using proven assessment tools to understand the cause of your symptoms and any underlying issues.

  • Research-Backed Treatments - Selecting exercises, hands-on techniques, or other therapies supported by high-quality clinical studies.

  • Ongoing Monitoring - Regularly reviewing your progress and adapting your plan if new research or your recovery needs change.

  • Continuous Learning - Staying updated with clinical guidelines, research journals, and professional training so your care is always current.

A Quick Example

  • For years, certain types of back pain were often treated with bed rest. Modern research now shows that gentle, guided movement is far more effective for recovery. By staying current with evidence, I ensure your treatment reflects what is most likely to work today not what was thought to work decades ago.

Your Role in Evidence-Based Care

  • Evidence-based practice isn’t just about research, t’s about partnership. I’ll explain why I recommend certain treatments and welcome your input so we can create a plan that works for you, both in terms of science and your day-to-day life.

Why this matters

  • When your care is based on strong evidence, you’re not just getting treatment - you’re getting the most informed, effective, and safe path to recovery that physiotherapy can offer.
