Services
Physiotherapy Treatments
Our comprehensive physiotherapy services address all musculoskeletal conditions including back pain, neck pain, and joint injuries. Using manual therapy techniques combined with tailored exercise programmes, we help patients regain mobility and reduce pain. With both NHS and private practice experience, our physiotherapists create individualised treatment plans that incorporate the latest evidence-based practices for optimal recovery outcomes.
Shockwave Therapy
This non-invasive treatment uses radial pressure waves to accelerate healing for chronic conditions like plantar fasciitis and tennis elbow. By stimulating blood flow and breaking down scar tissue, shockwave therapy provides rapid pain relief and functional improvement. Typically requiring only 3-4 sessions, this FDA-approved treatment offers faster recovery times compared to traditional surgical methods with minimal side effects.
Sports Injury Treatment
Specialised care for sports-related injuries including ligament sprains, muscle tears, and overuse conditions. Our physiotherapists with sports medicine expertise develop targeted rehabilitation programmes to restore function and prevent future injuries. We provide immediate assessment and treatment for acute injuries while also addressing chronic sports-related pain through advanced therapeutic techniques.
Injection Therapy
We offer targeted injection therapy for pain relief and inflammation reduction in musculoskeletal conditions. Our physiotherapists administer steroid injections and hyaluronic acid treatments to address joint pain, with specific expertise in treating nerve pain and chronic headaches. These interventions are combined with comprehensive rehabilitation programmes to maximise long-term outcomes.
Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
Comprehensive rehabilitation programmes following orthopaedic surgery ensure optimal recovery. Our physiotherapists work closely with surgical teams to implement evidence-based rehabilitation protocols. We provide post-operative care for shoulder, knee, and joint replacements, focusing on restoring mobility, strength, and functional independence through progressive exercise programmes and manual therapy techniques.
