Services
Physiotherapy
Our physiotherapy service combines manual techniques with evidence-based exercise programs to treat musculoskeletal injuries and chronic pain. Specialising in spinal conditions, joint rehabilitation, and post-operative recovery, our HCPC-registered therapists use movement analysis to identify biomechanical issues. Each treatment plan integrates patient education and home exercise programs delivered through our digital PhysioTec platform for continuous progress tracking.
Shockwave Therapy
Radial shockwave therapy accelerates tissue repair for chronic tendon injuries and musculoskeletal pain. This non-invasive treatment stimulates healing in conditions like plantar fasciitis and tennis elbow through targeted acoustic waves. Clinical studies show 65-91% pain reduction after 3-5 sessions, with immediate analgesic effects during treatment. Our NICE-approved protocol follows strict clinical guidelines for optimal outcomes.
Gait Analysis
Our comprehensive gait assessment uses treadmill video analysis combined with biomechanical screening to identify movement inefficiencies. The 60-minute evaluation examines limb length discrepancies, joint mobility, and dynamic control to diagnose running-related injuries. Personalised recommendations include strength training, footwear advice, and running technique modifications delivered through follow-up sessions with our specialist physiotherapists.
Sports Massage
Sports massage therapy targets soft tissue dysfunction to alleviate pain and improve mobility through deep tissue techniques. Our therapists address muscle tension from athletic training or sedentary lifestyles using myofascial release and trigger point therapy. Sessions incorporate stretching protocols and home care advice to enhance recovery, with specific focus on injury prevention and performance optimisation for active individuals.
Ultrasound Injections
Ultrasound-guided injections deliver precise medication placement for joint and tendon pathologies using real-time imaging. Our specialists perform hyaluronic acid, steroid, and hydro-distension injections with enhanced accuracy compared to traditional methods. The procedure reduces pain and inflammation in conditions like frozen shoulder and osteoarthritis, with immediate post-injection rehabilitation guidance to maximise therapeutic benefits.

Very professional and helpful. Took time to understand back problems and undertook complete investigation before recommending treatment and exercises. Would definitely recommend an use again.

Report
I highly recommend Reform Physiotherapy, it is a lovely clinic, and their head physiotherapist Luke is first class. After months of struggling and limited success with a previous physiotherapist, my consultant referred me to Luke, which was the best things she could have done. Upon my first hands-on consultation, Luke gave me a new rehabilitation programme, with additional links to easy to follow videos to help me remember and correctly complete my programme. Upon a relapse due to overdoing things in life, Luke went above and beyond, immediately calling me back, giving me an impromptu video consultation

Luke is a really nice enthusiastic energetic guy. Equally important for me he is very knowledgeable and can really go into the science behind his diagnosis and interventions.

Luke is nothing short of a miracle worker. I'm very good at breaking bits of myself and every time Luke's treatment and rehab has got me out of pain and fully recovered. (He's also a really nice guy)

Luke is excellent, he is extremely thorough, knowledgable, approachable and positively reassuring. I even left being able to touch my toes which is a first for me! I look forward to what's to come and physically feeling 27 again not 87! Get booked up if you need a physio, you won't be disappointed. Thank you very much.

I was referred to Luke with a recurring unstable shoulder which felt like it was going to pop out of it's socket. I instantly felt at ease due to Luke's amiable nature. The exercises he gave me worked a treat and and I'm now the proud owner of a stable shoulder (or solid as a rock as Luke described it). Great job Luke, I would recommend you to anyone needing physiotherapy.
