Services
Physiotherapy
Our physiotherapy service combines manual therapy with technology-driven rehabilitation for musculoskeletal conditions. Using evidence-based techniques, we treat injuries, chronic pain, and post-surgical recovery through tailored programmes that include exercise prescription, movement analysis, and hands-on treatment. Each plan integrates patient education and digital tracking tools to optimise outcomes.
Sports Massage
Specialist sports massage addresses muscle tension, improves circulation, and enhances recovery through manual and instrument-assisted techniques. Delivered by dual-qualified physiotherapists, this service combines deep tissue work with movement re-education to prevent injuries and maintain athletic performance for recreational and professional athletes.
Diagnostic Scanning
On-site diagnostic ultrasound and MRI referral services enable accurate musculoskeletal diagnosis. Our CASE-accredited sonographers use high-specification equipment to visualise soft tissues and joints, guiding treatment decisions. Spinal and complex cases receive fast-track MRI access through trusted private providers with expert interpretation by our clinical team.
Injection Therapy
Ultrasound-guided injection therapy delivers targeted pain relief for joints and soft tissues. We offer corticosteroid, hyaluronic acid (Durolane/Ostenil), and Arthrosamid injections using precision imaging to ensure accurate placement, combined with structured rehabilitation programmes to maximise long-term benefits and functional recovery.
Shockwave Therapy
Extracorporeal shockwave therapy accelerates healing for chronic musculoskeletal conditions like tendinopathy and plantar fasciitis. This NICE-recommended treatment uses electromagnetic technology to stimulate tissue repair, delivered in 15-30 minute sessions with cumulative effects typically requiring 3-6 sessions for complete symptom resolution.

Report
I have had brilliant treatment from Phil and Thea at Great Northern. They are both knowledgeable and effective, and were able to explain my issues to me in layman's terms and provide the exact treatment I needed to help relieve a back injury that has plagued me for 4 years. Millie the administrator is lovely as well. Cannot recommend them enough.

Report
After 15 months of pretty much constant pain, I referred myself to a pain consultant who diagnosed occipital neuralgia. This was treated with trigger point injections. I researched this myself as my GP and the Lincs Pain Service were utterly useless. The treatment really helped me. I was aware that I could not have continued steroid use so tried to find an alternative in the local area. I went to see Phil who is the ONLY other person who actually understood the mechanics of this type of pain. I had dry needling today as a trigger point therapy and I can already feel an improvement. Phil really

I have had regular physiotherapy on my foot and ankle with Becky since August 2020 until earlier this year, when she sent a referral to my GP for a recommended multi-disciplinary approach to the NHS Pain Service. Her progressive treatment programme for CRPS has been very thorough, and helped me to walk in a more co-ordinated way despite some continuing foot drop, and pain. The massages, and physio exercises both in clinic and at home using her recommended links to suitable equipment really improved my balance and proprioception. The emailed links to information sites for self-education helped

Report
So far I only had an initial assessment, but I was impressed at the improvement I made during the session and the friendliness of all of the staff.
Booking appointments is easy, and they are doing a great job during coronavirus restrictions. The session was useful, informative and felt very patient focused, they were happy to follow my lead in terms of further appointments and I never felt pressured or uncomfortable.
