Mind & Motion Manchester

Physiotherapy and psychotherapy under one roof in Didsbury

Mind & Motion Manchester is a private clinic based at Adamson House in Didsbury, South Manchester. It combines physiotherapy and psychotherapy in a single practice while allowing each service to be booked and used independently. The clinic presents this dual approach around the idea that physical and psychological health are not always separate: an injury can affect confidence, sleep and daily life, while stress and emotional difficulties can influence how someone functions and recovers.

Appointments are available at the Didsbury clinic, and selected services can be delivered remotely, including physiotherapy consultations by video. The practice works with self-funding patients as well as people accessing treatment through private healthcare, medico-legal and occupational health routes.

Physiotherapy and rehabilitation services

The physiotherapy side of the clinic covers assessment, treatment and rehabilitation for musculoskeletal pain, injuries and movement problems. Alongside general physiotherapy, the clinic lists two further physical services:

• Sports Physio & Injury Rehab: assessment and rehabilitation for sports and exercise-related injuries, aimed at a safe return to activity.
• Sports Massage: a standalone hands-on service for people dealing with muscular tightness, training demands or general physical discomfort.

Psychological therapies offered

On the mental health side, the clinic provides psychotherapy as a confidential space to explore emotional difficulties, understand patterns and work towards psychological change. Two structured approaches are named specifically:

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): a structured therapy examining how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact.
• EMDR Therapy: a structured therapy that may help people process distressing or traumatic experiences.

Conditions the clinic addresses

The practice states that it supports a wide range of physical and mental health conditions, with treatment tailored to the individual. The conditions named on the site are back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain and knee pain on the physical side, and anxiety, OCD, PTSD and depression on the psychological side.

Clinicians and founders

The team combines physiotherapists and psychotherapists. The clinic identifies three practitioners: Joshua Keating, described as Founder & Physiotherapist; Jasmine Cheema, Founder & Psychotherapist; and Aardra Saxena, Physiotherapist. The site indicates that individual profiles set out each practitioner's professional background, areas of clinical work and the services they provide.

First appointments and booking routes

The clinic explains that a first appointment is used to discuss what the patient needs help with and for the clinician to understand those needs; for physiotherapy this includes an assessment of the injury, pain or mobility problem before next steps are discussed. New physiotherapy patients are directed to a Physiotherapy Consultation, while those who have already had an initial assessment book a Physiotherapy Treatment appointment. For psychotherapy, a Psychotherapy Consultation is the starting point, and a complimentary 15-minute initial psychotherapy consultation is offered to people unsure about their mental health and wellbeing needs. No GP referral is required to book. The number of sessions depends on individual needs and progress, and is discussed with the clinician after the initial consultation and reviewed as treatment continues.

Insurance, billing and access

Mind & Motion states that it is recognised by most major private health insurers and offers direct billing. The clinic asks patients to check their cover with their insurer and obtain any required authorisation before the appointment, noting that the process can vary between insurers. The practice also lists health insurance and healthcare partners among its areas of information.
