Kesson Physiotherapy

Kesson Physiotherapy: physiotherapy, rehabilitation and fitness in Kent

Kesson Physiotherapy is a physiotherapy clinic and healthy movement business based in Faversham with a presence in Canterbury, in the county of Kent. The company presents itself as a centre where therapeutic treatments, movement-based physical activity and targeted fitness sessions come together, all under the supervision of its team of movement specialists.

Its working method is built around its own approach called "The Kesson Way", which structures activity around three pillars: Heal, Move and Improve. The first focuses on guided, hands-on recovery with physiotherapists; the second on rehabilitation and physical activity sessions; and the third on advanced one-to-one sessions and dynamic classes geared towards movement goals.

Physiotherapy, massage and training services

The clinic's offering covers physiotherapy, massage, personal training and Pilates classes. The latter include Reformer Pilates at the Canterbury location. The company also offers memberships, as well as rehabilitation and fitness sessions.

Services mentioned include physiotherapy sessions, Pilates classes, personal training and massage, as well as rehabilitation programmes and movement-focused fitness sessions. The clinic states that it treats both people in the process of recovery and those looking to improve their performance or stay active.

The Kesson Way method and working philosophy

The company describes its methodology as a comprehensive support system to heal, move and improve. According to its presentation, the approach is based on building relationships with clients and on a set of values that include compassion, honesty, service to others and the challenge of exceeding expectations. The clinic states that its purpose is "Move Better, Live Better" and that its role is to help people take control of their body's movement.

The company says it does not believe in half measures and that its goal is for patients to make the most of their lives by taking control of their body's movement. It also states that its team is made up of professionals selected for their values and aptitudes, and that transformation is a two-way process in which the patient also takes part.

History and presence in the South East of England

Kesson Physiotherapy was first established as a physiotherapy clinic in 1983 and, according to its own presentation, has grown into a healthy movement business with a presence in London and the South East of England. The company describes itself, humorously, as "world famous (from Faversham)".

Its main location, called Head Office, is in Faversham, and it also has a studio in Canterbury. The company therefore operates in two locations in the county of Kent.

Results and patient stories

The clinic publishes recovery stories from its patients. Among them is the case of Alison, who had suffered from back problems since her twenties, which prevented her from playing volleyball. When her back threatened her love of orienteering, she attended Heal and Move sessions to strengthen her posterior chain. According to the story, Alison returned to orienteering and is part of the England Orienteering Veteran team.

The company states that its results go beyond conventional physiotherapy and that its activity covers physiotherapy, rehabilitation, fitness, Pilates and massage.

Team and customer service

The clinic highlights that its team is made up of experienced professionals and that its team spirit and expertise allow it to create personalised solutions. The company offers assistance by phone and email, and has an FAQ section covering topics such as choosing the right class, recommended clothing, GP referrals and home visits.

The company also mentions that it has a team of expert physiotherapists and that its activity takes place in clinics and fitness studios.
