Physiotherapy Assessment
Our comprehensive physiotherapy assessments involve detailed medical history reviews, physical examinations, and diagnostic analysis. Our chartered physiotherapists identify root causes of pain or mobility issues, including biomechanical imbalances and postural dysfunctions. Each assessment leads to a personalised treatment plan combining manual therapy, exercise prescription, and patient education for optimal recovery outcomes.
Lymphoedema Management
Specialist lymphoedema management includes manual lymphatic drainage, compression therapy, and tailored exercise programmes. Our physiotherapists provide skin care education and self-management techniques for chronic swelling conditions. Treatment focuses on reducing fluid accumulation, preventing complications, and improving patients' quality of life through evidence-based interventions.
Acupuncture
Our acupuncture treatments use fine needles to stimulate specific points for pain management and healing. Physiotherapists integrate traditional Chinese medicine principles with Western medical understanding to address musculoskeletal pain. Each session includes thorough explanation of benefits, risks, and expected outcomes as part of our informed consent process.
Pilates
APPI-certified Pilates instruction focuses on core stability, posture improvement, and injury prevention. Sessions combine mat-based exercises with individualised modifications for varying fitness levels. Our physiotherapists use Pilates as both rehabilitation tool and general fitness programme, with options for group classes or private one-to-one sessions.
Occupational Health
Occupational health services help employees recover from work-related injuries and improve workplace ergonomics. We conduct workstation assessments, develop return-to-work plans, and provide corporate physiotherapy for major employers. Our interventions focus on preventing symptom recurrence while maintaining workplace productivity.
