Services
Physiotherapy
Our physiotherapy services address spinal problems, joint injuries, and sports-related conditions through manual therapy, electrotherapy, and customised rehabilitation programmes. With 30+ years of experience, we specialise in treating prolapsed discs, ligament sprains, and repetitive strain injuries using evidence-based techniques. Our therapists hold advanced qualifications in musculoskeletal care, ensuring effective pain management and recovery solutions tailored to individual needs.
Women's Health
Specialist women's health physiotherapy covers antenatal care, post-natal rehabilitation, and menopausal symptom management. We treat pelvic pain, incontinence, and pelvic organ prolapse through manual therapy, acupuncture, and pelvic floor rehabilitation. Our Mummy MOT assessment provides comprehensive post-partum evaluations, addressing tummy gaps, c-section recovery, and functional movement restoration in a confidential environment.
Acupuncture
Integrating traditional Chinese medicine with modern physiotherapy, our acupuncture treatments address chronic pain, stress, and women's health issues. Certified practitioners use trigger point techniques to relieve muscle tension, improve blood flow, and stimulate natural painkillers. This evidence-based approach effectively treats headaches, sciatica, and sports injuries while promoting overall wellbeing through hormonal balance.
Pilates
Clinical Pilates sessions focus on core strengthening, flexibility improvement, and posture correction. Led by specialist instructors, our programmes enhance body awareness and coordination through low-impact exercises suitable for all fitness levels. Tailored routines help prevent injuries, improve athletic performance, and support rehabilitation from musculoskeletal conditions while promoting mental wellbeing.
Occupational Health
We provide corporate physiotherapy services including ergonomic assessments, injury prevention programmes, and return-to-work rehabilitation. With 25+ years of occupational health experience, our team conducts workplace risk assessments, delivers health promotion initiatives, and implements early intervention strategies to maintain workforce wellbeing and reduce work-related musculoskeletal disorders.
