Understand
Begin with your history, goals and real-life context rather than reducing you to a painful body part or an imaging finding.
OUR CLINICAL APPROACH · HOW WE WORK
Not a standard protocol.
A reasoned path built around you.
Clinical care begins by understanding the person, the task and the demands around them—not by choosing a technique first.
Book an assessmentREASONING BEFORE TECHNIQUE
The method is not a fixed list of treatments. It is a transparent cycle of assessment, clinical reasoning, intervention and reassessment.
Research evidence informs the options. Clinical findings and your response help determine what deserves to be tested next.

Six connected steps
Screen
Identify warning signs, medical restrictions and situations that may require further investigation or referral.
Form a hypothesis
Consider structure, function, biology, recovery capacity and real-world load together, then define the most useful clinical hypothesis to test.
Plan together
Explain why an approach is being considered, what will be monitored and when reassessment will occur.
Build capacity
Within medical constraints, use exercise therapy, task practice, education and appropriate physiotherapy to progressively expand capacity.
Reassess and adapt
Compare symptoms, function, task performance and recovery response. If the findings do not support the original hypothesis, change course.
BAIZE CLINICAL INTERPRETATION
Capacity and load are considered together.
The BAIZE Capacity–Load Clinical Framework helps organise information across four capacity dimensions—structural, functional, biological and recovery—and three interacting load categories: mechanical, physiological and psychological.
It is a clinical reasoning framework, not a diagnostic test or a promise of outcome. Its value lies in making assumptions explicit and guiding reassessment.

What we need to understand first
- Your main concern and what you want to return to
- Relevant medical history, imaging and current restrictions
- Movement, strength, control and task-specific performance
- Training, work, sleep, stress and other current demands
- A small set of meaningful measures for future reassessment
FAQ · COMMON QUESTIONS
Before we begin
Does everyone follow the same protocol?
No. Shared principles and standards guide the process, but assessment findings, medical restrictions, goals and response to load shape each plan.
Does this mean passive treatment is never used?
No. Appropriate hands-on or physical interventions may help create a window for movement and training. Their role, dose and continuation are reviewed against measurable response.
How do you know whether the plan is working?
We agree on relevant outcomes—such as symptoms, function, task performance, load tolerance and recovery response—and reassess them at defined points.
