Services
Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy
Specialist treatment for neck, back, and joint pain using manual therapy, mobilisation, and tailored exercise programmes. We address both acute injuries and chronic conditions through comprehensive assessment and rehabilitation. Our approach combines pain management techniques with long-term solutions to prevent recurrence.
Sports Injury Rehabilitation
Comprehensive recovery programmes for sports-related injuries including ligament sprains, muscle strains, and post-surgical rehabilitation. We develop sport-specific exercise plans to restore function and prevent future injuries. Our physiotherapists work closely with athletes to ensure safe return to activity.
Pilates Therapy
One-to-one Pilates sessions focusing on core strength and spinal stability to prevent and treat back pain. Our physiotherapists design individualised programmes that improve posture, enhance mobility, and build muscular endurance through controlled movements.
Acupuncture
Complementary acupuncture treatment for pain management and inflammation reduction. Delivered by trained physiotherapists as part of a holistic treatment plan, this technique helps alleviate chronic pain conditions and accelerate recovery from musculoskeletal injuries.
Neurological Rehabilitation
Specialist care for patients with neurological conditions including cerebral palsy, MS, and Parkinson's disease. Our programmes focus on mobility improvement, balance retraining, and functional restoration through targeted physiotherapy interventions and adaptive exercise routines.
