Services
Physiotherapy
Our Chartered Physiotherapists treat musculoskeletal conditions using evidence-based techniques for pain relief and functional recovery. Specialising in neck/back pain, arthritis, sports injuries, and postural issues, we create personalised treatment plans combining manual therapy, exercise rehabilitation, and biomechanical analysis. With two dedicated treatment rooms and 10+ years of local experience, we focus on both immediate symptom relief and long-term mobility improvement for patients of all ages.
Sports Therapy
Specialised recovery programs for sports-related injuries combine physiotherapy techniques with strength training. Our practitioners with sports therapy qualifications treat conditions like rotator cuff injuries, ITB syndrome, and ligament sprains. Using gait analysis and sports-specific rehabilitation, we help athletes return to peak performance while preventing future injuries through biomechanical corrections and targeted exercise programs.
Massage Therapy
Registered Massage Therapists provide various treatments including Swedish, sports, and hot stone massage. These therapies address muscle tension, improve circulation, and aid recovery from physical activity. Sessions available in 30-60 minute durations use tailored techniques for relaxation, injury prevention, and enhanced athletic performance, with options for membership discounts on regular treatments.
Personal Training
Individual and small-group training sessions combine strength development with injury prevention strategies. Our Level 3 certified trainers create custom programs integrating physiotherapy principles for safe progression. Services include fitness assessments, goal-specific training plans, and ongoing support for clients seeking improved physical performance, weight management, or post-rehabilitation conditioning.
Pilates Classes
Small-group Pilates sessions focus on core stability, posture improvement, and functional movement patterns. Led by APPI-certified instructors, these classes use mat-based exercises to enhance body awareness and muscular control. Suitable for all fitness levels, the sessions complement physiotherapy treatments while promoting general wellness through controlled movements and breathing techniques.
