Services
Physiotherapy
Our chartered physiotherapists treat musculoskeletal conditions using manual therapy, exercise prescription, and advanced techniques. We address back pain, sports injuries, and post-surgical rehabilitation through tailored programmes. Patients benefit from one-on-one sessions focusing on restoring mobility and preventing future injuries through biomechanical analysis and strength training.
Shockwave Therapy
This non-invasive treatment uses high-energy sound waves to accelerate healing in chronic tendon injuries and joint conditions. Ideal for plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, and calcific shoulder tendinitis, our state-of-the-art devices deliver targeted pain relief and tissue regeneration. Most patients experience significant improvement after 3-5 sessions.
Injections
Ultrasound-guided injections deliver precise medication to affected areas for rapid pain relief. We specialise in cortisone, hyaluronic acid, and prolotherapy injections for knee, shoulder, and spinal conditions. Performed by consultant-led teams, these treatments reduce inflammation and improve joint function with minimal recovery time.
Sports Therapy
Tailored recovery programmes for athletes combine soft tissue therapy, biomechanical assessment, and sport-specific conditioning. Our therapists address acute injuries and chronic overuse conditions while optimising performance through strength and flexibility training. Return-to-play protocols ensure safe resumption of sporting activities.
Pelvic Health
Specialist physiotherapy addresses pelvic floor dysfunction, pre/post-natal care, and continence issues. Treatment includes internal assessments, targeted exercises, and lifestyle advice delivered by qualified women's health specialists in a private, supportive environment.

What conditions do you specialise in treating?
We specialise in back pain, sports injuries, joint conditions, and chronic musculoskeletal disorders. Our team has particular expertise in treating complex cases that haven't responded to previous treatments.
Do I need a GP referral for treatment?
No referral is required. Our physiotherapists and osteopaths can assess and treat you directly, though we maintain close communication with GPs when needed for comprehensive care.
Are your therapists qualified and registered?
All our practitioners are fully qualified and registered with their respective professional bodies including the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy and General Osteopathic Council.

Yes, we're recognised by all major UK insurers including Bupa, AXA PPP, and Aviva. Most policies cover physiotherapy, injections, and specialist consultations without upfront payment.
What should I wear to appointments?
Wear comfortable clothing that allows access to the treatment area. For lower body issues, bring shorts; for upper body problems, avoid restrictive tops during physiotherapy sessions.
How many sessions will I need?
Treatment plans vary by condition. Initial assessments determine required sessions, with most patients seeing significant improvement within 6-8 physiotherapy sessions combined with home exercises.
