Services
Physiotherapy
Our physiotherapy service addresses musculoskeletal injuries, chronic conditions, and post-surgical rehabilitation. Using manual therapy, exercise prescription, and patient education, we treat knee ligament injuries, back pain, shoulder issues, and sports-related conditions. Each treatment plan focuses on restoring mobility, reducing pain, and preventing future injuries through tailored interventions.
Sports Massage
Specialised sports massage treatments target muscle tension, improve circulation, and aid recovery from sports injuries. Sessions incorporate deep tissue techniques to address specific problem areas like tennis elbow, plantar fasciitis, and muscle strains. We offer 30- and 45-minute appointments with discounted multi-session packages for ongoing care.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture treatments complement physiotherapy by reducing pain and inflammation through targeted needle placement. This evidence-based approach effectively manages chronic conditions like osteoarthritis, headaches, and musculoskeletal pain. Sessions integrate with rehabilitation programmes to enhance overall treatment outcomes and promote natural healing processes.
Electrotherapy
Electrotherapy uses electrical currents to reduce pain, stimulate muscle activity, and accelerate tissue healing. This modality effectively treats acute injuries, post-operative conditions, and chronic pain syndromes. Combined with manual therapy, it enhances recovery from conditions like whiplash, ligament sprains, and nerve-related discomfort.
Exercise Prescription
Customised exercise programmes reinforce treatment effects and prevent injury recurrence. Patients receive detailed instruction on stretches, strengthening exercises, and movement patterns tailored to their specific conditions. These home-based programmes complement clinical treatments for knee instability, back pain, shoulder impingement, and post-surgical recovery.

Report
Michelle saw me at short notice for an initial consultation for pain while walking. She diagnosed and treated the area professionally with excellent aftercare support. The app for the exercises at home is very helpful as well. I cannot recommend Michelle highly enough for the work that she has done to make me pain free again.
