Services
Physiotherapy
Our comprehensive physiotherapy services address musculoskeletal conditions, sports injuries, and post-surgical rehabilitation. Using manual therapy techniques combined with tailored exercise programmes, we restore mobility and reduce pain for patients across Greater Manchester. Each treatment plan incorporates evidence-based practices to ensure long-term recovery and improved quality of life.
Sports Massage
Specialised sports massage treatments target muscle tension and aid recovery from athletic injuries. Our therapists use deep tissue techniques and trigger point therapy to improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and enhance performance for both professional athletes and active individuals seeking pain relief from repetitive strain injuries.
Acupuncture
Registered practitioners deliver acupuncture treatments for chronic pain management and musculoskeletal conditions. This evidence-based approach stimulates the nervous system to release natural painkillers, effectively treating back pain, joint problems, and sports injuries while complementing other physiotherapy interventions for enhanced recovery outcomes.
Home Visits
Convenient home visit services provide physiotherapy treatment for patients unable to attend clinics. Our therapists travel across Manchester to deliver the same high-quality care in familiar environments, with pricing structured transparently according to distance from our treatment centres while maintaining clinical excellence.
Gait Analysis
Advanced gait analysis identifies biomechanical imbalances affecting mobility and performance. Using dynamic posture evaluation, we create corrective exercise programmes to improve running technique, prevent injuries, and enhance athletic performance while addressing chronic pain caused by improper movement patterns.

Had sessions with Anamaria for 3 months and she was absolutely top class. Had2 different injuries ( knee and ankele) and she worked through both. Within the 3 months, I've recovered from both injuries and now feel much stronger in both joints by the end of the treatment. Not only that, but she gave me loads of exercises and mobilisation protocols to use on the joints to increase my strength and stability. To recommend Anamaria is an understatement, she is, by far, the best physio I've worked with. Highly recommended

Annamarie was professional throughout my 6 sessions and I highly recommend her. I had 6 sessions on my neck and shoulder which have greatly improved my injuries. Having never accessed physiotherapy before I would not consider another physio after coming to this clinic.

Fantastic service from booking to completion. I was looked after by Abamaria who did a wonderful job of consulting with me before running some tests. Once she ran those tests, she located my issue and began treating it there and then. I feel so much better from that one consultation alone and wouldn't hesitate to recommend AC Physiotherapy enough

I am so pleased that I went to AC Physiotherapy for my ankle sprain injury. Anamaria was incredibly reassuring and provided detailed exercises as well as soft tissue massage so that I was able to get back to running as soon as I was able to. My ankle has fully recovered because of this service and I would highly recommend Anna and AC Physiotherapy to anyone with a sports injury.

Anamaria is an excellent physiotherapist who has been treating my lower back injury for the past 6 weeks. She is very professional, understanding and friendly, making sure that she adapted the massage and acupuncture treatment according to the level of pain I was experiencing each week. She was also easy to contact and communicate with, especially since I had to get in touch with her over the Xmas period and I very much appreciated that she called me straight away and arranged an appointment with me. Thank you so much for all your help!

Anamaria has helped me immensely. Very knowledgeable, always providing the right advice and treatment. The acupuncture, ultrasound and massage treatments I have received have been magical and helped so much with relieving acute sciatica pain. She has got some very convenient availability, too - evening and weekend slots which work great around my work and family life. I couldn't recommend ACPhysiotherapy more. I hope you see this, Anamaria - THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for helping.

I had really good results after having some trouble with my lower back and neck. Anamaria at AC physiotherapy really listened and understood my problems and gave me the best options to alleviate my suffering. I would highly recommend anyone with any problems in this area to take a visit to this professional team.

The treatment approach Anamaria takes absolutely works. I went to her for long standing lower back pain which is now resolved. Due to a targeted exercise prescription that focuses on the right movement for my body I have also been able to build strength. I cannot recommend highly enough

I had the best massage for my chronic back and shoulder pain by a very experienced and friendly physiotherapist. Anamaria was pleasant and listened to all my concerns. I left very happy and feel simply great after a few days of the treatment. My back says thank you!

Highly professional and efficient. Anamaria is excellent in diagnosing, explaining and treating any physio problem you may sadly encounter. She does not only give useful advice/ rehab exercises that work, but she is the hands on physiotherapist that is hard to find! From personal experience on other clinics I have been, there has been a lot of chatting and no results. But Anamaria works with her patients in mind and results can be seen and felt from first couple of sessions. Looking forward to my next session. I couldn't do without you!
