Services
Physiotherapy
Our physiotherapy services combine manual techniques with medical technology to treat musculoskeletal conditions. We address injuries, chronic pain, and post-surgical rehabilitation using evidence-based methods that accelerate healing. Patients receive personalised treatment plans focused on restoring mobility and reducing discomfort.
Shockwave Therapy
Focused shockwave therapy stimulates tissue repair and reduces chronic pain through high-energy sound waves. This non-invasive treatment accelerates healing for conditions like plantar fasciitis and tendonitis. It's particularly effective for patients seeking alternatives to surgery or medication.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves precise needle placement to alleviate pain and treat various health conditions. Our practitioners use this ancient technique alongside modern physiotherapy for enhanced pain management. It's particularly beneficial for stress-related ailments and musculoskeletal disorders.
Sports Rehabilitation
Tailored rehabilitation programs help athletes recover from injuries and improve performance. We incorporate strength training, biomechanical analysis, and sport-specific exercises. Our approach minimises recurrence risks while optimising physical capabilities for competitive and recreational athletes.
Neurological Physiotherapy
Specialised treatment for patients with neurological conditions like stroke or Parkinson's disease. We focus on restoring movement through targeted exercises and adaptive techniques. Our therapists work closely with neurologists to maximise functional recovery and independence.

Report
Recently my mother was treated here with the shock wave therapy and physio for the diabetic ulcer on her foot. After seven sessions her wound has visibly diminished in size and the sensibility of the foot increased. We are very grateful to Nim and recommend people with the same condition to attend the treatment here.

Report
I approached Physio Extra 6 weeks ago when I suffered a recurrence of the achilles problem they had previously treated in 2017. Shockwave had been beneficial last time and I knew that I wanted to try it again this time round. Nim was an excellent therapist - she was keen to suss out any underlying issues contributing to the recurrence rather than simply putting me back onto the machine. 6 weeks of shockwave and exercise later I am not quite back to normal but definitely on the mend.

Report
Had a double partial knee replacement last November and Nim has just finished taking me through the post-op. protocol to reduce swelling, increase flexibility up to normal levels, increase strength and develop proprioception. She did an excellent job with charm, and I am grateful. Now I just need the winter to arrive and covid19-free ski resorts to open.

I developed severe Plantar Fasciitis back in April. It was so bad I couldnt put my foot down, let alone walk. I was recommended to Physio Extra and have been having Shockwaves therapy with the amazing Nim Ragbir right up to this week when I can now walk perfectly without any pain.
Nim is superb, so knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommend Physio Extra

Report
I attended Physio Extra initially for a persistent sharp knee pain. I was seen and treated by Nim Ragbir. Nim listened to my history of recent aches and pains including 3 years of lower back/glute pain . She took time to explain how these were all linked and gave me a routine of treatments and exercises aimed a resolving the root cause. After 4 sessions I began to feel the changes. After over 30 physio sessions with 4 other practitioners that didnt resolve my pain, I feel confident with Nim and I'm gradually improving and almost pain free. Thank you.
