A physiotherapist Rainham sees every time.
Clinical expertise, whole person care, and a calm environment built around real recovery.
I started BetterMe because people deserve better.
I started BetterMe because I felt there was a different way to support people in pain. Working in the NHS for many years, I saw first hand how challenging it can be to deliver the level of care people truly need within the constraints of the system. Appointments are often limited, waiting times can be long, and it can be difficult to explore everything that might be contributing to someone's pain within those boundaries.
At the same time, I could relate personally. I've experienced persistent pain myself, and I know how much things like stress, anxiety and poor sleep can affect how your body feels. That's when it really clicked for me: pain isn't just physical. But often there simply isn't the time or space to explore that full picture properly.
That didn't sit right with me. It keeps people stuck in a cycle of quick fixes and no progress. So I wanted to create something different. A space where people feel properly listened to, understood and fully supported, where we look beyond just the symptoms and take a whole person approach, helping you make sense of your pain and take back control in a way that actually lasts.

What makes this different
He listens first
Most appointments start with a proper conversation not a rushed assessment. Understanding your story is as important as examining your body.
He treats the whole person
Pain doesn't exist in isolation. Sleep, stress, movement habits and life circumstances all play a role. Josh looks at the full picture.
He gives you a plan that makes sense
No vague advice. No generic exercises printed from a sheet. Everything is explained clearly and tailored to your life.
“What makes my approach different is that I don't just focus on the physical side of pain. I take the time to understand you as a whole person, your lifestyle, stress, sleep, habits, beliefs and how your body is responding overall. Because pain is rarely caused by just one thing. Most people I work with have already tried exercises, treatments and quick fixes that didn't last. My focus is helping you break that cycle, not by relying on ongoing appointments or temporary relief, but by giving you a clear plan and the tools to manage your pain long term and feel more in control of your body again.”
Josh Devine, Founder · BetterMe Physiotherapy

A clear explanation
You'll understand exactly what's happening and why. No jargon, no confusion, no leaving with more questions than answers.
A plan built around you
