Services
Chiropractic
Our chiropractic services focus on diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal conditions through spinal manipulation and joint adjustments. We address back pain, neck pain, and sports injuries using evidence-based techniques that improve mobility and reduce nerve irritation. Treatments incorporate soft tissue therapy and rehabilitation exercises to restore function and prevent recurrence.
Physiotherapy
Chartered physiotherapists provide hands-on treatment for muscle strains, joint injuries, and post-surgical rehabilitation. Sessions combine manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, and ergonomic advice to enhance recovery. Specialised Pilates instruction supports core stability and postural correction as part of comprehensive rehabilitation programmes.
Shockwave Therapy
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy treats chronic tendonopathies and musculoskeletal pain through targeted acoustic waves. This non-invasive treatment stimulates healing in conditions like plantar fasciitis and tennis elbow, offering effective alternatives to surgery with proven success rates between 65-95% for appropriate cases.
Sports Therapy
Specialist sports rehabilitation addresses athletic injuries through tailored recovery programmes. Treatment combines manual therapy, strength training, and sport-specific conditioning to restore performance levels. We manage knee/ankle injuries, muscle strains, and post-operative rehabilitation with gym-integrated training facilities.
Active Release
ART techniques resolve soft tissue restrictions caused by scar tissue accumulation. This patented method treats overuse injuries like carpal tunnel syndrome and shin splints through precise manual therapy combined with active patient movements, typically achieving significant improvement within 4-6 sessions.

I was experiencing a lot of pain in the back of my head/neck related to being really poorly with COVID. I was recommended to see Robin Marshall and it was the best thing I did! In just one session he managed to find the source of my pain, and physically relieved all the tension within my head and neck and literally took away the constant nerve pain, it was such a relief. He also helped realign my whole body and checked for any weaknesses/problems. I truly recommend this very thorough professional practitioner. He is very knowledgeable about immunology and basically how your whole body works at

An upbeat and professional team with a BIG heart!!!! My sore lower back muscle has been bugging me for a while and I bumped into Robin and his team after reading the other reviews here. I owe all you a huge thank you. Robin is very patient and professional, he explained the anatomy of my issue in details and promptly proposed a treatment plan for me. He fixed my nagging back soreness alongside with the connecting tissue and muscle. Robin also suggested rehabilitation exercise that I could do at home to strengthen the weaknesses in my anatomy. I am all good in just 2 sessions. I would definitely

A friend of mine recommended Robin Marshalls treatment after successful treatment himself. After seeing Robin for only 2 sessions I was relieved of pain in my right shoulder. Chronic pain that I had experienced for over 3 years. Robin knows the body so thoroughly that you feel utterly in the right place and with the right expertise. I cannot thank Robin enough for the service and have recommended you to many others. You learn things about your body you did not know before which is incredibly helpful for those experiencing persistent issues such as my own caused through hypermobility issues. Robins

I have been astonished with the techniques used by Robin at his Clinic. I am 71 years old and have dipped in and out of Osteopaths and Chiropractors for years usually visiting every 6 weeks because I returned to the problems I had always had. Robin was introduced to me by a sports massage therapist who had suffered for years with Migraine. After a few treatments to her neck by Robin , there was no further sign of Migraine. Following my first visit Robin took a significant history with diagnostic findings on his computer, referring back to it with each visit. For a period of a couple of months

Ema is an excellent physiotherapist. she helped me treat the pain I had in the achilles tendon, her care goes far beyond exercise and stretching she helped me understand that tension and stress causes pain in the body. I recommend her to anyone.
