Services
Physiotherapy
Our physiotherapy services combine manual techniques with evidence-based exercise programmes to treat musculoskeletal conditions. Specialising in sports injuries and post-operative rehabilitation, we use joint mobilisation and soft tissue therapy to restore function. The onsite gym facilitates progressive rehabilitation for patients recovering from surgery or preparing for athletic events.
Shockwave Therapy
This non-invasive treatment uses acoustic waves to accelerate healing in chronic tendon injuries. Delivered using Swiss Dolorcast technology, our NICE-recommended protocol improves blood flow and reduces pain without infection risk. Typically requiring 3-5 sessions, this treatment offers an effective alternative to steroid injections for conditions like plantar fasciitis and tennis elbow.
Workstation Assessment
Our ergonomic assessments evaluate workplace setups to prevent musculoskeletal disorders. Conducted in accordance with UK health and safety regulations, these evaluations identify postural risks and recommend equipment adjustments. Particularly beneficial for office workers, the service includes education on maintaining proper posture during prolonged computer use.
Muscle Balance Assessment
This comprehensive assessment identifies muscular imbalances that contribute to injury risk. Using movement analysis and strength testing, we create corrective exercise programmes to improve performance and prevent injuries. Particularly valuable for athletes preparing for endurance events, the assessment helps optimise biomechanical efficiency and address postural dysfunctions.
Gait Analysis
Using high-speed digital equipment, we analyse movement patterns to identify biomechanical inefficiencies. This video-based assessment helps diagnose running-related injuries and informs corrective training strategies. Essential for marathon and triathlon preparation, the service improves performance while reducing injury risk through optimised movement mechanics.
