Services
Physiotherapy
Our physiotherapy services address sports injuries, chronic pain, and post-surgical rehabilitation. Using evidence-based techniques, we create personalised treatment plans focusing on manual therapy, exercise prescription, and biomechanical correction. Patients benefit from 45-60 minute initial assessments with chartered physiotherapists who develop recovery strategies targeting root causes rather than symptoms.
Sports Medicine
Delivered by sports doctors with professional team experience, our sports medicine services include diagnostic ultrasound, injection therapies, and concussion management. We specialise in non-surgical treatment of musculoskeletal conditions, offering cortisone, hyaluronic acid, and PRP injections guided by ultrasound for precision.
Sports Massage
Available in 30, 45, and 60-minute sessions, our sports massage therapy improves circulation, reduces muscle tension, and aids recovery. Therapists use deep tissue techniques and myofascial release to treat repetitive strain injuries, muscle sprains, and sports-related soft tissue damage across all age groups.
Injection Therapy
We offer ultrasound-guided injections including cortisone for inflammation, hyaluronic acid for joint lubrication, and PRP for tissue regeneration. These treatments target specific pain sources in joints, tendons, and soft tissues, with initial consultations determining the most appropriate therapy for each patient's condition.
Concussion Clinic
Led by sports doctors with elite rugby and boxing experience, our concussion clinic provides comprehensive assessment and return-to-play protocols. Using current research guidelines, we manage symptoms through graduated activity programs and monitor recovery through neurological testing and patient-reported outcomes.
