Services
Sports Injury Rehabilitation
Specialised treatment for sports-related injuries combines manual therapy with functional movement retraining. We address running gait abnormalities, cycling injuries, and football trauma through tailored exercise programmes. Denis Murphy's experience with professional athletes ensures evidence-based rehabilitation for weekend warriors and Olympians alike.
Chronic Pain Management
Comprehensive approach to neck, back, and joint pain utilises spinal manipulation, acupuncture, and ergonomic advice. We identify root causes of conditions like sciatica and carpal tunnel syndrome to provide lasting relief rather than temporary symptom management for Richmond residents.
Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
Structured programmes for ACL reconstructions, joint replacements, and fracture recovery follow NHS and private healthcare protocols. Our phased approach ensures safe return to activity while minimising re-injury risks for TW postcode area patients.
Marathon MOT
60-minute biomechanical analysis identifies strength imbalances and movement inefficiencies. This preventative service includes gait video analysis and customised training adjustments to reduce injury risks for marathon entrants across south west London.
Functional Movement Screening
Specialised evaluations detect muscular imbalances and joint restrictions before they cause injury. We use these findings to create corrective exercise plans that improve performance and reduce strain for active individuals in Richmond.
