Services
Physiotherapy
Our expert physiotherapists treat musculoskeletal conditions using evidence-based techniques. We specialise in back pain, neck pain, sports injuries, and post-surgical rehabilitation. Treatments include manual therapy, exercise prescription, and advanced diagnostic assessments. Patients benefit from 40-minute sessions with specialist physiotherapists holding MCSP and HCPC accreditation.
Sports Injury Clinic
Specialised treatment for sports-related injuries combines physiotherapy, sports massage, and biomechanical assessments. Our clinic serves amateur and professional athletes with tailored rehabilitation programmes. We focus on rapid recovery through targeted exercises and advanced treatment modalities.
Acupuncture
Traditional Chinese acupuncture techniques address chronic pain, headaches, and musculoskeletal conditions. Our practitioners use sterile needles to stimulate natural pain-relief mechanisms. Treatments effectively manage back pain, migraines, and joint discomfort with minimal discomfort.
Sports Massage
Deep tissue and sports massage techniques relieve muscle tension and improve recovery. Therapists address chronic pain, sports injuries, and postural imbalances through targeted soft-tissue manipulation. Sessions enhance flexibility and athletic performance while reducing stress levels.
Vertigo Treatment
Specialist physiotherapy for dizziness and balance disorders employs vestibular rehabilitation techniques. Most benign positional vertigo cases resolve within 1-2 sessions through specific repositioning manoeuvres. Treatment addresses inner ear dysfunction and improves overall balance control.
