Services
Physiotherapy
Our physiotherapy services address injuries and conditions affecting muscles, joints, and connective tissues through evidence-based manual therapy and rehabilitation programmes. We treat patients of all activity levels, from office workers to elite athletes, using techniques such as joint mobilisation, soft tissue therapy, and tailored exercise prescriptions. With initial assessments lasting 45-60 minutes, we create individualised recovery plans focused on pain relief, functional restoration, and injury prevention.
Sports Medicine
Sports Medicine consultations provide expert diagnosis and non-surgical management of sports-related injuries and musculoskeletal conditions. Our specialists use musculoskeletal ultrasound for accurate diagnostics and offer ultrasound-guided injections to target specific areas of concern. Services include well-athlete assessments, concussion management, and return-to-play protocols, ensuring athletes receive comprehensive care aligned with the latest sports medicine research and professional standards.
Injection Therapy
We offer advanced injection therapies including cortisone, hyaluronic acid, PRP, and hydrodistension treatments for joint and soft tissue conditions. Administered under ultrasound guidance by sports medicine specialists, these injections deliver precise medication to inflamed or damaged tissues, reducing pain and accelerating healing. Each session includes a comprehensive assessment to determine the most appropriate treatment for conditions such as tendinopathy, arthritis, and post-surgical recovery.
Concussion Clinic
Our concussion clinic specialises in the assessment and management of head injuries, particularly for athletes and active individuals. Using evidence-based protocols, we conduct thorough evaluations and develop graduated return-to-play plans in accordance with guidelines from the Welsh Rugby Union and Football Association. The clinic addresses symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, and cognitive difficulties, providing tailored rehabilitation strategies for safe recovery.
High Performance Rehabilitation
Designed for athletes and active individuals, this 90-minute rehabilitation programme utilises cutting-edge techniques and equipment to optimise recovery from injuries or surgery. Sessions focus on restoring strength, mobility, and sport-specific functionality through progressive exercise programmes, biomechanical analysis, and performance testing. The service integrates expertise from physiotherapists, strength coaches, and sports scientists to help clients achieve peak physical condition.

Cannot give enough praise to Health & Sports Physiotherapy. I was referred with a shoulder injury following a cycling accident and the care and treatment given was exceptional. I was treated by Alyson who went above and beyond and whose rehabilitation plan got me back to full strength far quicker than I ever thought possible.

The guys at Health & Sports Physiotherapy are world class! The expert advice and care I received to overcome an L5/S1 disc herniation was second to none. The simplistic and effective physiotherapy was the key component to my recovery. The expertise and vast experience made it easy to create a bespoke recovery plan. The customer service was excellent and I would recommend their care to anyone, including professional athletes. I cannot thank them enough as this journey to recovery was very important to me. Cheers guys.

Having had a knee reconstruction I was keen to find the best advise to help me through my rehabilitation. Dan expertly guided me through the process and went above and beyond to ensure that my recovery was a success. I am now back to full health and leading a very active lifestyle.

Had suffered with back pain caused by a deep knot for over a week. One trip to Owen and it's gone! He was friendly and informative and would definitely go to him again if I needed anything else done. Easy to book appointments online and reasonably priced too!
