Services
Physiotherapy
Our physiotherapy services address musculoskeletal conditions through comprehensive assessments and tailored treatment plans. We specialise in spinal pain, sports injuries, and post-surgical rehabilitation using evidence-based techniques including manual therapy, exercise programs, and electrotherapy. With clinicians having 5-15+ years' experience, we combine NHS expertise with private practice innovation to deliver measurable outcomes for improved mobility and pain management.
Sports Injuries
Specialist treatment for sports-related injuries combines advanced rehabilitation techniques with performance enhancement strategies. Our team addresses acute injuries and chronic conditions through sports massage, taping, strength conditioning, and return-to-play protocols. With experience treating amateur and elite athletes, we focus on rapid recovery while preventing future injuries through biomechanical assessments and tailored exercise programs.
Acupuncture
Western medical acupuncture is integrated into treatment plans for pain management and musculoskeletal conditions. Delivered by trained physiotherapists, this evidence-based approach targets muscular trigger points to reduce pain and inflammation. Patients receive combined treatments with exercise therapy and manual techniques, particularly effective for chronic pain conditions and sports injuries when conventional methods show limited progress.
Clinical Psychology
Specialist psychological support addresses chronic pain management, depression, anxiety, and PTSD through evidence-based therapies. Our Chartered Clinical Psychologist employs CBT, mindfulness, and EMDR techniques, integrating physical and mental health treatment. With NHS experience in pain management and cardiac rehabilitation, we provide holistic care addressing both psychological symptoms and their physical manifestations.
Shockwave Therapy
Advanced shockwave therapy treats chronic musculoskeletal conditions through targeted acoustic waves that stimulate healing. This non-invasive treatment addresses tendonopathies, plantar fasciitis, and calcifications when conventional methods prove ineffective. Delivered by experienced physiotherapists, it offers rapid pain relief and accelerated tissue repair for patients seeking alternatives to surgery or prolonged medication use.
