Services
Back Pain Treatment
Our back pain treatment combines manual therapy, exercise prescription, and posture correction to address acute and chronic spinal discomfort. We identify root causes such as disc issues or muscle imbalances, creating rehabilitation plans to restore mobility and prevent recurrence. Patients benefit from one-on-one sessions with experienced physiotherapists specialising in musculoskeletal conditions.
Sports Physiotherapy
Specialised sports physiotherapy focuses on injury prevention, acute trauma management, and performance optimisation for athletes. We employ dynamic rehabilitation techniques and biomechanical assessments to accelerate return-to-play timelines while minimising re-injury risks. Treatment includes sport-specific strengthening programmes and soft tissue mobilisation.
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy delivers high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate tissue repair in chronic musculoskeletal conditions. This non-invasive treatment effectively addresses plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, and calcific tendinitis by promoting blood flow and breaking down scar tissue. Most patients experience significant improvement within 3-5 sessions.
Joint Pain Relief
Our joint pain relief programme integrates Ostenil Plus hyaluronic acid injections with physiotherapy to reduce osteoarthritis symptoms. This dual approach improves joint lubrication while strengthening surrounding musculature to enhance mobility and delay disease progression through conservative management strategies.
Post-Operative Rehabilitation
Post-operative rehabilitation follows evidence-based protocols to optimise recovery after orthopaedic surgeries. We coordinate care with consultants to ensure safe progression through mobility restoration, strength rebuilding, and functional retraining phases, aiming to restore pre-injury activity levels efficiently.

Questions
What should I wear to my physiotherapy appointment?
Wear comfortable clothing that allows access to the affected area. For lower body issues, shorts are recommended; bring a vest top for upper body treatments.
Do I need a GP referral for physiotherapy?
No referral is required as our physiotherapists can assess and treat independently. However, some insurance policies may require GP authorisation for coverage.
How long does a typical physiotherapy session last?
Initial assessments take 45-60 minutes, with follow-up sessions lasting 30-45 minutes depending on treatment complexity and rehabilitation stage.
Is physiotherapy covered by insurance?
We are registered with major insurers including Bupa, AXA PPP, and Aviva. Coverage varies by policy, so check with your provider for specific terms and claim procedures.
What happens during my first physiotherapy session?
The first session involves a comprehensive assessment of your condition, medical history review, and discussion of treatment goals. This is followed by initial hands-on therapy and home exercise recommendations.
Can physiotherapy help with chronic pain management?
Yes, our physiotherapists specialise in managing chronic conditions through tailored exercise programmes, manual therapy, and pain management education to improve daily functionality and quality of life.
