Persistent injuries. Chronic tendon problems. Evidence-based rehabilitation.
If standard physiotherapy has not worked — this is where you come next.
The Denovo Way is a four-step specialist rehabilitation pathway built for patients whose
injuries have not responded to standard physiotherapy. Every patient at Denovo follows
this structured process. Nothing is guessed. Nothing is generic. You will know exactly
what you are working toward and why at every stage of your recovery.
Specialist assessment going deeper than standard physiotherapy. We take a detailed history, examine the affected area and all contributing factors, and identify the root cause of your problem — finding what others miss.
A structured staged rehabilitation pathway built specifically around your injury, lifestyle and goals. You receive a clear plan with defined stages, realistic timescales, and honest communication about what to expect at every step.
Evidence-based treatment tools — including shockwave therapy where clinically indicated — selected based on your assessment findings. Every intervention is chosen for a specific clinical reason.
Recovery does not end at pain relief. The Denovo Way finishes when you have returned to full activity with the strength and confidence to stay there — and the knowledge to prevent the problem from returning.
Shockwave therapy is a clinically evidenced treatment for chronic tendon injuries that have not resolved with rest or standard physiotherapy. At Denovo, shockwave is always delivered following a full specialist assessment and as part of a structured rehabilitation plan. Assessment comes first. Shockwave is used when it is clinically the right choice for your presentation.
Persistent heel pain that has not resolved with rest or standard treatment.
Mid-portion or insertional Achilles pain in active patients.
Chronic outer elbow pain from tendon degeneration.
Persistent front-of-knee pain in runners and gym athletes.
Rotator cuff problems including calcific tendinopathy.
“I had plantar fasciitis for over a year and tried everything. Within 8 weeks at Denovo I was back running pain-free. The assessment was thorough — for the first time someone actually explained what was causing it and what to do about it.”

Plantar Fasciitis | Longridge
“Chronic Achilles problem that two other physios could not sort out. The shockwave programme combined with the loading plan finally fixed it. Back to the gym and completely pain-free after 10 weeks.”

Achilles Tendinopathy | Prestone
“The difference between this and the NHS physio I had was night and day. Proper assessment, a real plan, honest communication about what to expect. My tennis elbow is the best it has been in 2 years.”

No, you do not need a referral to see a physiotherapist at Denovo Physio & Rehab. You can book an appointment directly with us.
During your first appointment, your physiotherapist will conduct a thorough assessment to understand your condition and develop a personalized treatment plan. This may include a physical examination, discussion of your symptoms, and goal setting.
Standard physiotherapy sessions are typically 45 minutes long. The duration may vary depending on your specific needs and treatment plan.
Please wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the area being treated. For example, if you are being treated for a knee problem, shorts or loose-fitting pants are recommended.
