Why Choose Physiotherapy at Motion Clinic?
Based in Heavitree, our Exeter physiotherapy clinic combines hands-on treatment, movement coaching and progressive exercise to fix the cause of your problem, not just mask the symptoms. Whether you have come to us with back pain, a stubborn sports injury or reduced mobility, our goal is the same: to help you move freely again and stay that way.
What sets us apart is measurement. We use VALD objective testing to assess your strength, balance and mobility with clinical precision. That data lets us personalise your plan, track genuine progress session by session, and prove that your treatment is working rather than relying on guesswork.
You will benefit from:
- Evidence-based treatments proven to speed up recovery
- Data-driven assessments using VALD technology for measurable outcomes
- A personalised care plan built entirely around your goals
- Honest, transparent communication from your first session to your last
Real data. Real results. Expert care, the Motion way.

Meet Your Exeter Physiotherapy Team
Your care is delivered by qualified, registered clinicians. Every physiotherapist on our team is registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and a member of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP), so you can be confident you are in safe, expert hands.
Our wider clinical team also includes registered osteopaths and sports massage therapists, so if physiotherapy is not the best fit for your needs, we can refer you internally to the right practitioner.

What to Expect From Your Physiotherapy Journey
Comprehensive assessment. We assess your movement, posture and function, supported by objective VALD testing.
Diagnosis and plan. We explain what is wrong, what we will do about it, and what you can do to help yourself.
Treatment and rehab. Hands-on therapy, guided exercise and clear education form the core of your recovery.
Progress monitoring. We re-test and adjust your plan as you improve, so every session moves you forward.
Empowerment. We teach you to self-manage and prevent the problem from returning.
Most patients complete a course of six to twelve sessions, with many noticing improvements within the first two to three visits.
Physiotherapy or Osteopathy: Which Is Right for You?
- Physiotherapists focus on movement-based rehabilitation, using manual therapy alongside progressive exercise.
- Osteopaths tend to use more hands-on techniques to improve mobility and relieve tension.
The right choice depends on your condition and goals. If you would prefer a more hands-on approach, take a look at our osteopathy in Exeter service, or book a free consultation and we will guide you to the best option.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a doctor's referral to see a physiotherapist in Exeter?
No, you do not always need a referral. In most cases you can come directly to us for an assessment. If your situation is complex or involves surgery, we may recommend liaising with your GP or specialist first.
What should I wear or bring to my first appointment?
Wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows movement, such as shorts and a T-shirt, as you may need to expose the area of pain. Bring any medical records, imaging or reports you have, a list of your current medications, and comfortable shoes.
Can physiotherapy help with chronic or long-term pain?
Yes. Even when symptoms have been present for a long time, physiotherapy can help by correcting movement patterns, strengthening weak areas, managing load and teaching self-management strategies. It is not only for new injuries.
What can I expect in my first physiotherapy session?
Your first session typically lasts 45 to 60 minutes. We take a detailed history, carry out a movement and physical assessment, explain our findings and begin treatment, which may include hands-on work or light exercise. We will also agree your goals and a clear plan.
Where is your Exeter physiotherapy clinic located?
Our clinic is on Fore Street in Heavitree, Exeter, with paid parking available at the Co-op car park to the rear and bus routes 1, 2 and 56 stopping nearby.
