Services
Physiotherapy
Our physiotherapy service combines hands-on treatment with evidence-based rehabilitation plans to address musculoskeletal injuries and chronic pain conditions. Specialising in spinal injuries, joint pain, and sports recovery, we create tailored programmes that integrate exercise prescription and postural correction. With proven success in treating complex cases including post-surgical rehabilitation, our approach focuses on restoring mobility while educating patients about long-term injury prevention strategies.
Acupuncture
This ancient Chinese technique uses ultra-fine needles to stimulate specific points for pain reduction and inflammation control. Delivered by AACP-certified physiotherapists, our acupuncture treatments target conditions like migraines, arthritis, and sports injuries. The service incorporates modern neurophysiological principles to enhance traditional methods, providing drug-free pain management solutions that complement other physiotherapy interventions.
Shockwave Therapy
NICE-recommended shockwave therapy treats chronic tendon injuries and musculoskeletal pain through targeted acoustic waves. We use this technology to address conditions including plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, and frozen shoulder by stimulating natural healing processes. The non-invasive treatment breaks down scar tissue and promotes blood flow, offering effective solutions for longstanding injuries resistant to conventional therapies.
1:1 Pilates
Tailored Pilates sessions focus on core stability, postural correction, and functional movement patterns under physiotherapist supervision. Our APPI-certified instructors design programmes to address individual weaknesses and mobility limitations, making this ideal for back pain sufferers and injury rehabilitation. The sessions integrate breathing techniques with controlled movements to improve strength, flexibility, and body awareness in a supportive environment.
Orthotics
PHITS 3D-printed orthotics use advanced gait analysis technology to create biomechanically optimised foot supports. This service addresses lower limb pain through custom-designed insoles that improve alignment and weight distribution. By combining dynamic foot scanning with physical examination, we create solutions for conditions ranging from plantar fasciitis to knee pain, enhancing both athletic performance and daily comfort.

Thanks to Raj's excellent care and instruction, my shoulder is continuing to be very much better with greatly improved mobility and no pain. I am very happy to have found an excellent physiotherapist with such a kind, caring and gentle manner. I have no hesitation in highly recommending Relive Physiotherapy to friends and know that I can return with any future problems. Thank you so much for a great service.

Finally found a fabulous physio that was able to resolve the constant sciatica Id been having for two years, and this meant I avoided having to have any pain relief injections too! My husband had recommended them as Raj helped resolve his sports injury whilst I had been having unsuccessful treatment at an alternative physio. The team (Raj & Sophie) are professional and friendly, and I would definitely recommend Relive Physiotherapy!

When you are competing in your chosen sport at the highest level, you need to know that youre in safe hands. I have complete faith in Raj. If it wasnt for his physiotherapy and rehabilitation treatments, through a number of injuries I wouldnt be where I am today. I thoroughly recommend Raj. He always manages to fit me in, even at short notice.

I went to Relive with an issue in my thigh that was preventing me from playing football. The help I received from start to finish was brilliant and I cant thank Raj enough. He found the issue straight away and has helped me to full recovery in next to no time. I highly recommend anyone looking for physio to attend Relive
