Services
Sports Therapy
Our sports therapy services combine joint mobilization, soft tissue techniques, and rehabilitation exercises to treat acute injuries and chronic pain. With 16 years of clinical experience, we address conditions like frozen shoulder, rotator cuff injuries, and repetitive strain through personalized treatment plans. Our approach focuses on identifying root causes rather than just treating symptoms, delivering lasting results for both athletes and non-athletes.
Sports Massage
Specialized sports massage techniques improve circulation, reduce muscle tension, and accelerate recovery from training or injury. We use advanced methods like soft tissue release and muscle energy techniques to enhance mobility and performance. This service benefits both competitive athletes seeking performance optimization and office workers suffering from stress-related muscular tension.
Injury Assessment
Comprehensive injury assessments involve detailed physical examinations and movement analysis to identify underlying causes of pain. Our practitioners use clinical reasoning to differentiate between muscular, joint, and nerve-related issues, providing clear diagnoses and treatment recommendations. This service ensures targeted interventions that address structural imbalances rather than just alleviating symptoms.
Electrotherapy
Electrotherapy treatments utilize electrical stimulation to reduce pain, promote tissue healing, and improve muscle function. This modality effectively treats chronic conditions like tendonitis and acute injuries by enhancing blood flow and interrupting pain signals. Our practitioners integrate electrotherapy with manual techniques for optimal rehabilitation outcomes.
Ultrasound Treatment
Ultrasound therapy uses high-frequency sound waves to accelerate healing in soft tissue injuries. This non-invasive treatment effectively addresses conditions like ligament sprains, muscle strains, and tendonopathies by promoting cellular repair and reducing inflammation. We combine ultrasound with manual therapy and exercise prescription for comprehensive injury management.

Report
I found Ross to be excellent, my issue was sorted within two sessions (even though Ross had originally suggested I would need at least 3). Unlike the other review on here I felt the clinic was clean, professional and more then fit for purpose. Would and do happily recommend Ross to anyone needing physio.
