Services

Physiotherapy

Our comprehensive physiotherapy services address musculoskeletal conditions through personalised treatment plans. Using evidence-based techniques including manual therapy, exercise prescription, and electrotherapy, our Chartered Physiotherapists treat sports injuries, back pain, and post-surgical rehabilitation. Each 30-45 minute session combines hands-on treatment with tailored home exercise programmes to accelerate recovery and prevent recurrence. Patients benefit from our strong clinical governance framework and regular professional development to maintain treatment excellence.

Sports Injury Treatment

Specialist sports injury management combines acute injury assessment with performance-focused rehabilitation. Our physiotherapists utilise sports massage, joint mobilisation, and sport-specific conditioning to treat common injuries like ligament sprains and muscle strains. The service includes pitch-side first aid cover for local rugby clubs and return-to-play protocols. Patients receive biomechanical assessments to identify underlying causes and prevent future injuries through targeted strengthening programmes.

Acupuncture

Integrated acupuncture treatment follows traditional Chinese medicine principles to manage pain and inflammation. Certified practitioners insert fine needles at specific meridian points to stimulate healing responses and release natural painkillers. This service complements conventional physiotherapy for conditions like chronic back pain, migraines, and sports injuries. Sessions include post-treatment advice on activity modification to maximise therapeutic benefits and accelerate recovery timelines.

Back Pain Management

Specialist back pain services address mechanical issues through comprehensive spinal assessments and targeted interventions. Treatment combines joint mobilisation, core stability exercises, and posture correction techniques to alleviate symptoms and address root causes. Patients receive education on ergonomics and movement patterns to prevent recurrence. The service successfully treats acute injuries and chronic conditions like sciatica, with measurable improvements demonstrated in patient testimonials.

Post-Surgery Rehabilitation

Structured rehabilitation programmes support recovery following orthopaedic surgeries including joint replacements and ligament reconstructions. Our physiotherapists collaborate with surgical teams to implement evidence-based protocols for range-of-motion restoration, strength rebuilding, and functional recovery. The service includes pre-operative conditioning to optimise surgical outcomes and post-operative monitoring to ensure safe progression through rehabilitation milestones.

Having suffered with a bad back for 5 weeks I decided to seek help rather than try to exercise/stretch my way to fitness. A couple of days after the first session it was clear that the physio had speeded up the recovery. By the time I had the second session 6 days later I was almost 100%. Informative and friendly service.

Extremely professional and caring organisation, even when you ring up not knowing what on earth is wrong with you. I developed plantar fasciitis, something that I had never had, or heard of before. All I knew was I was in agony and couldn't walk. I phoned BJA in a desperate attempt to get some help. Brendan was on hand and I was in the building within 30 minutes. Brendan confirmed what I had, and gave me some exercises to help ease the pain, until I could come back for a full physio session. Two sessions later, I was recovered, and I had the comfort of knowing, should plantar flare up again,

I contacted BJA with acute sciatica pain, at times I couldn't stand let alone walk. Brendan, sensing my discomfort, fitting me in within a few days and started on my recovery. I was very impressed with the structure of the rehabilitation program and before long I was hiking again. Six months after 1st seeing Brendan I managed to complete the UK 3 Peak Challenge in 24hrs with no recurring issues!
