Sports Rehabilitation
Our sports rehabilitation programs utilise elite sports experience to facilitate structured returns to play. We treat professional athletes and amateur sportspeople with evidence-based recovery protocols. The service integrates biomechanical analysis, strength conditioning, and sport-specific training to prevent re-injury.

Specialist shoulder treatment includes post-surgical rehabilitation and return-to-sport protocols. We address rotator cuff injuries, dislocations, and chronic instability using manual therapy and progressive exercise programs. Our lead physiotherapist holds a British Elbow and Shoulder Society fellowship.
