Physiotherapy
Our chartered physiotherapists provide comprehensive musculoskeletal treatment using evidence-based techniques. We specialise in hands-on therapy, electrotherapy, and tailored exercise programmes for back pain, sports injuries, and chronic conditions. With NHS-trained expertise and 40+ years of combined clinical experience, our practitioners deliver personalised rehabilitation plans to restore mobility and reduce pain. Patients benefit from immediate access to treatment without GP referral and receive ongoing support for long-term musculoskeletal health.
Shockwave Therapy
Specialist shockwave therapy treats chronic tendon injuries including Achilles pain, plantar fasciitis, and tennis elbow. This NICE-recommended treatment delivers high-intensity sound waves to stimulate healing, increase blood flow, and dissolve calcium deposits. As one of Lancashire's few private providers, we offer this advanced therapy at competitive rates. Clinical evidence shows significant pain reduction and improved function for patients with chronic tendon conditions resistant to conventional treatments.
Sports Massage
Our deep tissue sports massage targets muscle tension and imbalances caused by physical activity or sedentary lifestyles. Experienced therapists use tailored techniques to relieve pain, improve flexibility, and enhance recovery. This treatment benefits both athletes and non-athletes experiencing muscular discomfort from daily activities. Sessions incorporate postural analysis and remedial exercises to address underlying causes and prevent recurrence of musculoskeletal issues.
Acupuncture
We offer both traditional and Western medical acupuncture for pain management and musculoskeletal conditions. Our practitioners use sterile needles at specific points to reduce inflammation, relieve muscle spasms, and promote natural healing. This complementary therapy effectively treats chronic pain, headaches, and sports injuries when combined with conventional physiotherapy techniques. Treatments follow strict hygiene protocols and are administered by fully trained physiotherapists.
Pilates
Clinical Pilates forms an essential part of our rehabilitation programmes, focusing on core stability, posture, and functional movement. Tailored sessions help prevent re-injury and improve overall physical conditioning. Our physiotherapists integrate Pilates principles with traditional rehabilitation techniques to address specific patient needs. This approach proves particularly effective for back pain management and post-operative recovery programmes.
