FAQs
What does the Ridgway Pain & Injury Process involve? What can I expect during sessions?
If the first appointment shows that we’ve found meaningful problems and you notice even small, immediate improvements, then the process moves into two stages:
Stage 1 – Greater than 30% improvement.
This confirms that your body is responding as expected and that we’re addressing the real reasons your brain is protecting an area.
Stage 2 – Releasing and retraining.
We continue releasing the remaining protective areas and teach you new muscle-firing control (new postural control) so your system holds the improvements. This stage also includes occasional tune-ups to help you keep the results for life.
Can you share any case studies or testimonials from past clients with similar problems?
Yes—our Results After Treatment page has more than 15 detailed examples.
If your type of problem isn’t listed, we’ll explain similar cases during your free call.
Because of AHPRA rules, physiotherapists can’t publish testimonials, but you’re welcome to read our Google reviews to see what clients say in their own words.
What is the science behind the “protective response” of the brain? How do you test for this?
Our brains and nervous systems have many ways of protecting the body. A simple example is the tendon-jerk reflex—when a clinician taps the patella tendon and the leg kicks out automatically. That’s your subconscious system firing the muscles to stop excessive force.
Pain works in a similar way. When there’s excessive force somewhere in the body—due to restrictions, weakness, or old injuries—the subconscious system fires protective muscles and maintains them in a loop. During your appointment, we use specific tests to locate where that excessive force is coming from. When we find the right area, the system responds instantly and predictably.
How long does it usually take to see results?
Most clients notice small, instant changes in the first hour.
Stronger results often show in the next 3–6 hours of accumulated treatment time.
When improvements appear this quickly, it’s a strong sign that the process is working. Most people complete the full process within 2–3 weeks.
What kind of commitment or lifestyle changes are needed to make the process effective?
For the first two weeks, we aim to reduce anything that flares the pain excessively.
After that, you’ll gradually return to full activity while practicing the new muscle-firing strategies that we teach you. Most people rehearse this for a few weeks until it becomes a habit, then continue it naturally through everyday life.
