Not all spinal asymmetries are created equal.

When assessing conditions such as scoliosis and other spinal disorders, it’s important to understand whether the spine’s alignment is being influenced by a structural change or by factors such as muscle tension, joint restriction, and movement patterns.

At Diane Lee & Associates, our goal isn’t simply to look at an X-ray or focus on a curve. We want to understand how your spine is functioning, what may be contributing to your symptoms, and where there may be opportunities to improve movement, strength, and everyday function.

Just as importantly, we believe in helping people understand their condition. Knowledge empowers people to make informed decisions, participate actively in their care, and live fuller, more confident lives.

In this reel, Judit shares why understanding the “why” behind spinal alignment is such an important part of treatment.

What if healthcare wasn’t about fixing people, but empowering them? 💪

When Diane Lee founded Diane Lee & Associates Physiotherapy, her vision was to create more than a clinic. She wanted to mentor the next generation of physiotherapists while helping clients better understand their bodies, their movement patterns, and their ability to influence their own recovery.

We believe lasting change happens when people are given the knowledge, tools, and confidence to take an active role in their health, not when they become dependent on someone else to “fix” them.

Through education, movement awareness, and individualized care, our goal is to help every person feel empowered to move forward with confidence.

We had the pleasure of hosting last week at Diane Lee & Associates for an evening inservice on HODA-A.

Dr. Abbott also spent two days in clinic shadowing our team, and we were proud to have our approach to care recognized—not just for clinical excellence, but for the way we connect with and support each individual we work with.

A care ethesist is a big part of being a successful clinician and DLA has a ton of it! A care ethicist is a moral philosopher who studies the Ethics of Care, a theory emphasizing that morality is rooted in relationships, interdependence, and responsiveness to specific needs rather than abstract, universal principles. It prioritizes compassion, empathy, and situational context, largely developed through feminist theory to challenge traditional, impersonal justice-based ethics.

This is something we deeply value at DLA: delivering high-level clinical care while building meaningful, patient-centered connections.

Grateful for the opportunity to learn alongside and from Dr. Jo Abbott.

At Diane Lee & Associates Physiotherapy, we offer a functional approach to physio in Surrey with our goal being to help you achieve yours.
