Physiotherapy
Our physiotherapy services address joint and muscle conditions through comprehensive assessments and tailored treatment plans. We combine manual therapy, rehabilitation exercises, and patient education to treat sports injuries, post-surgical recovery, and chronic pain. Treatments are delivered by Chartered physiotherapists with specialist expertise in musculoskeletal disorders.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is offered as an adjunct treatment for pain management and inflammation reduction. Our practitioners use fine needles to stimulate specific points, following traditional Chinese medicine principles. This service is integrated with conventional physiotherapy techniques to enhance treatment outcomes for musculoskeletal conditions.
Home Visits
Home visit services are available within a 5-mile radius for patients with mobility challenges. Treatments mirror clinic-based care, including joint mobilisation and exercise programmes. Home visits require prior arrangement and are subject to therapist availability.

Pilates classes focus on core stability, posture, and muscle balance to support injury prevention and recovery. Sessions are led by physiotherapists who adapt exercises to individual capabilities. This service combines physical conditioning with therapeutic movement principles.
Neurology
Specialist neurological physiotherapy addresses movement disorders from conditions like stroke, Parkinson's disease, and multiple sclerosis. Treatments focus on improving mobility, balance, and functional independence through targeted exercise programmes.
