Health: a good investment
Before setting up Victory Health & Performance, we commissioned a market research survey to see how likely people were to need our services. We were amazed at the results.
41% of respondents – all wealthy individuals who participated in sports and therefore might be expected to know their bodies and be able to afford treatment – admitted that they were suffering with persistent niggles or injuries. But a staggering 44% of those same respondents had not sought any type of treatment in the previous year.
According to Nuffield Health, people who are healthy are up to 20% more productive than people who are in ill health or struggling with injuries.
The people we surveyed were all earning over £100,000 per year. If they were 20% more productive, they might be able to earn at least an extra £20,000 per year.
The average cost of a course of physiotherapy is £600.
Money well spent, perhaps?
Blog for Victory
Hi, I'm Nell Mead. I'm a former Army physiotherapist and I specialise in sports medicine and back pain. This is my blog, where I write about issues that are on my mind. Some of these are about issues that are specific to particular injuries or medical conditions but I will also be updating you on events occurring inside Victory and in the wider world of medical rehabilitation. I also publish guest posts by Victory's other therapists whenever I can persuade them to sit still for long enough to write something!
When we're not writing, we're offering appointments at The Foundry in Liverpool Street. We'd love to see your comments on our posts - and we'd love to meet you even more, so do pop by and meet the team.
Average course of physiotherapy?
Posted by Anonymous at 07:29 on 9 Sep 2010
Hello,
I appreciate that each person that comes to you will be treated on a case by case basis, but could you give an example of what an 'average course of treatment' might involve? How many sessions, a typical injury that you might expect help with during that course, etc?
Thanks!

Hello
As you say, a course of treatment depends on the injury/problem, the treatment offered and how the patient reacts to that treatment (and how well they stick to any exercise routine that is provided).
I have successfully treated some patients in one session; others may take several months if the injury is particularly severe, or particularly longstanding, or if there are underlying health issues. I especially enjoy treating chronic problems, such as the musculoskeletal issues associated with chronic fatigue syndrome and premenstrual syndrome, because even though the results can be relatively slow to achieve in the longer term (there's usually a significant improvement after each session, but the carryover between sessions is limited), the difference one can make to the patient's quality of life can be dramatic.
However, for the average musculoskeletal injury - a sprain, a strain or a postural backache, for example - you should see fast results, and resolution or near-resolution in a handful of sessions.
