Services
Physiotherapy
Our comprehensive physiotherapy service addresses musculoskeletal conditions through manual techniques and tailored exercise programs. Qualified practitioners assess movement patterns to identify root causes of pain, employing joint mobilisation, soft tissue work, and neuromuscular re-education. Patients receive specific home exercises to accelerate recovery and prevent recurrence, with treatment plans regularly reviewed for optimal outcomes.
Shockwave therapy
This advanced treatment uses high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate healing in chronic musculoskeletal conditions. Targeted application promotes blood flow and tissue regeneration for conditions like plantar fasciitis and tennis elbow. Non-invasive sessions typically produce noticeable improvement within 4-6 weeks, offering an alternative to surgical intervention for many patients.
Acupuncture
Incorporating traditional Chinese medicine principles, our physiotherapists use fine needles to treat pain and inflammation. This evidence-based approach effectively manages chronic conditions like osteoarthritis and headaches, complementing manual therapy. Sterile, single-use needles ensure safety while stimulating the body's natural pain-relief mechanisms through neurophysiological pathways.
Injection therapy
Targeted corticosteroid injections provide rapid inflammation reduction for joint and soft tissue conditions. Administered by experienced physiotherapists, these injections offer immediate pain relief while maintaining mobility. Combined with physiotherapy, this treatment effectively manages acute flare-ups and chronic conditions like frozen shoulder and tendinitis.
Sports rehabilitation
Specialised programs restore sporting performance following injury or surgery. Our physiotherapists develop progressive rehabilitation plans incorporating sport-specific movements and strength training. Return-to-play protocols ensure full functional recovery while minimising re-injury risk, supported by biomechanical analysis and performance enhancement techniques.
