Services
Physiotherapy
Our chartered physiotherapists provide hands-on treatment for musculoskeletal injuries, post-operative recovery, and chronic pain. We use evidence-based techniques tailored to individual goals, addressing back pain, joint issues, and sports injuries. Patients benefit from personalised exercise programs and advanced therapies like shockwave treatment.
Shockwave Therapy
Radial shockwave therapy targets chronic conditions like plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, and shoulder calcification. With an 80% success rate, it breaks down scar tissue and stimulates healing, often avoiding surgery. Most patients require 38 sessions for lasting pain reduction and improved mobility.
Sports Screening
Biomechanical assessments identify movement imbalances in athletes and active individuals. Using video analysis and functional tests, we create custom exercise plans to prevent injuries and enhance performance. Services include running and golf-specific screenings, suitable for all skill levels.
Pilates Classes
Physiotherapist-designed Pilates improves flexibility, strength, and posture. Classes cater to all abilities, focusing on dynamic movement and core stability. We offer one-to-one sessions, small group classes, and online streaming options for flexible participation.
Sports Massage
Deep-tissue sports massage alleviates tension, enhances circulation, and prevents injuries. Tailored for athletes and active individuals, treatments include hot stones and Swedish techniques. Regular sessions maintain muscle health and aid recovery from training or minor injuries.
