THE QUICK ANSWER
RE:UP offers sports injury assessment and rehabilitation in Altrincham at 20 Huxley Street, Broadheath. Initial assessments are conducted by a Level 5 qualified sports therapist and cost £60. Follow-up sessions are from £40. Open seven days a week. We serve clients from Hale, Sale, Timperley, Bowdon and across South Manchester. Free rehabilitation guides are also available for those who prefer to self-manage between appointments.
THE PROCESS
Assessment first, then treatment
Your initial appointment (60 minutes) begins with a full movement screen and case history. The therapist identifies what is wrong, explains what they have found, and where appropriate starts hands-on treatment in the same session.
You leave with a clear understanding of your injury and a structured plan — what treatment will involve, how long recovery is likely to take, and what you can do between sessions.
Follow-up sessions (from £40) focus on treatment and progression. Each session is adjusted based on how you have responded.
01
Movement screening & case history
The therapist reviews how and when the injury occurred, takes you through movement tests, and identifies the affected structure.
02
Diagnosis and explanation
You are told exactly what is wrong and why, in plain terms. No jargon.
03
Hands-on treatment
Manual therapy, soft tissue work, or mobilisation begins in the same appointment where appropriate.
04
Rehab plan and home exercises
You leave with exercises and load management guidance to work on between sessions.
YOUR FIRST APPOINTMENT
What to expect from your initial assessment
Your first appointment is 60 minutes. Here is what the therapist works through.
- 1
Case history
When and how the injury happened, what makes it better or worse, any previous treatment, and your current activity level and goals.
- 2
Postural and movement screen
The therapist observes how you stand, walk and move through relevant ranges. This reveals compensations and movement patterns linked to the injury.
- 3
Palpation and provocation testing
Hands-on assessment of the affected structure — feeling for tenderness, swelling and tissue quality. Provocation tests confirm what is and is not painful under load.
- 4
Diagnosis and explanation
The therapist tells you exactly what they found and what it means, in plain terms. You should understand your injury before you leave.
- 5
First treatment
Where appropriate, treatment begins in the same session. You also leave with home exercises and a clear expectation of how long recovery is likely to take.
WHAT TO BRING
Wear or bring comfortable clothing that allows access to the affected area. If you have any imaging (X-ray, MRI scan reports), bring those too — though you do not need them to book.

RETURN TO SPORT
Return to sport: your rehabilitation programme
Phase 1
Reduce pain and restore movement
The first priority is getting the injury calm, reducing swelling where present, and restoring normal range of motion. Manual therapy, soft tissue work and gentle loading.
Phase 2
Rebuild strength and control
Progressive loading of the injured structure. Strength work specific to the injury and your sport. Neuromuscular control (the body learning to protect itself again).
Phase 3
Return to full activity
Sport-specific movement, full training loads, and a discharge plan that confirms you are ready to return without increased injury risk.
