Services
Physiotherapy
Our physiotherapy services address musculoskeletal, neurological, and sports-related injuries using evidence-based manual techniques. We specialise in post-surgical rehabilitation, chronic pain management, and mobility restoration. Patients receive tailored treatment plans combining joint mobilisation, therapeutic massage, and exercise programmes to enhance recovery and prevent recurrence.
Physio-led Pilates
Led by APPI-trained physiotherapists, our Pilates classes focus on core stability, posture, and functional strength. Designed for all abilities, these sessions aid injury recovery, improve flexibility, and prevent future musculoskeletal issues. Small group settings ensure personalised attention and safe progression.
Neurological Rehabilitation
We provide targeted rehabilitation for stroke survivors, Parkinson's patients, and individuals with multiple sclerosis. Our approach combines hands-on therapy, gym-based exercises, and balance training to restore mobility and independence. Family involvement ensures continuity of care for long-term conditions.
Sports Massage
Level 5 sports massage therapy addresses muscle tension, enhances recovery, and improves circulation. Techniques include deep tissue work, trigger point therapy, and stretching to alleviate pain and boost athletic performance. Ideal for injury prevention and post-exercise recovery.
Epley Manoeuvre
Specialised treatment for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) using the Epley manoeuvre. This non-invasive technique repositions inner ear crystals to resolve dizziness and balance issues. Patients often experience immediate symptom relief following the procedure.
