Barefoot Physiotherapy PlanTM
Transforming your experience of physio
At Barefoot Physiotherapy, we do more than treat – we transform how you experience physiotherapy.
The foundation of our approach is the Barefoot Physiotherapy Plan™, created by our founder Sal Oliver Lange. Unlike a standard treatment plan, the Barefoot Plan is a clear blueprint that blends science, experience and your personal goals. It guides every step of your care – from your first assessment through to staying well long term.
This is physiotherapy that goes deeper. Not just treating what hurts, but understanding why and building a plan that helps you recover, adapt, and stay confident in your body.
This is more than just physiotherapy; this is the Barefoot way.
How it works
Every Barefooter follows the same proven 10-step process, tailored to their body and goals. Click below to explore each stage of the Barefoot Physiotherapy Plan™.
Barefoot Physiotherapy PlanTM
1. YOUR STORY
We start with you – your history, your goals, and what a “good result” looks like for your life. Together, we decide what’s most important to address first.
2. MORE INVESTIGATION OR SUPPORT?
With specialised tests, we can determine whether there are any investigations (scans/blood tests) or other professionals (Doctor/Specialist/Pharmacist) that are needed now. All communication with other practitioners will be done using your preferred pronouns and name, as guided by you.
*We may come back to this step later if required
3. NERVE TESTS
Gentle, non-aggravating nerve tests show us if nerves are contributing to your condition – and how much.
4. NERVE TREATMENT
If nerves are involved, we treat them first. You’ll also learn how to keep your nerves happy between sessions, so progress lasts.
5. WHOLE BODY ASSESSMENT
Muscles, joints, movements, even thoughts and worries – we look at the whole system to find the true underlying cause.
6. SYSTEMATIC TESTING
From the assessment, we prioritise the key findings. Through Treatment-Direction-Tests (TDTs), we discover the primary driver behind your condition.
7. TREATMENT
Once the driver is clear, we treat it to reduce its impact on the rest of your body. We track your progress constantly to confirm we’re on the right path.
8. EDUCATION
We teach you how to manage your condition – from self-treatment strategies to posture or strength changes – so you’re confident between sessions.
9. MAINTENANCE
Check-ins at increasing intervals help prevent recurrence, fine-tune your self-care, and keep your body at its best.
10. LIVE YOUR BAREFOOT LIFESTYLE
Physio isn’t just about recovery – it’s about thriving. We encourage you to move, live, and enjoy your life with confidence.

This is more than a treatment plan. It’s a partnership, and it’s what makes Barefoot Physiotherapy different.
