Services
Physiotherapy
Our physiotherapy service specialises in assessing and treating musculoskeletal conditions affecting joints, muscles, and soft tissues. Using manual therapy techniques combined with tailored exercise programmes, we help patients recover from injuries, manage chronic pain, and improve mobility. The treatment incorporates patient education to prevent recurrence and promote long-term wellbeing.
Sports Injury Therapy
Designed for athletes at all levels, this service addresses sports-related injuries through biomechanical analysis and targeted rehabilitation. We employ sports massage, strength training, and functional movement assessments to facilitate safe return to activity. Our therapists have experience working with professional sports teams and event participants.
Occupational Health
This service focuses on preventing and managing work-related musculoskeletal disorders. We offer DSE assessments, workplace evaluations, and on-site treatment to reduce sickness absence. Our ACPOHE-compliant approach helps businesses maintain employee wellbeing while improving workplace ergonomics and productivity.
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy provides non-invasive treatment for chronic tendon injuries using acoustic waves to stimulate healing. Clinically proven for conditions like plantar fasciitis and tennis elbow, this NICE-recommended therapy breaks down scar tissue and promotes tissue regeneration through targeted energy delivery.
Rehab Gym
Our rehab gym offers supervised strength and conditioning programmes using specialist equipment. Physiotherapists guide patients through progressive recovery plans incorporating balance training, resistance exercises, and functional movement patterns to restore physical capacity and prevent re-injury.
