Services
Physiotherapy
Our chartered physiotherapists deliver evidence-based treatments for musculoskeletal conditions, sports injuries, and post-surgical rehabilitation. We employ manual therapy, exercise prescription, and electrotherapy to restore mobility and reduce pain. Patients benefit from individualised treatment plans developed through comprehensive assessments.
Pilates
Tailored Pilates programmes strengthen deep postural muscles, improving spinal alignment and functional movement. Lisa Miller, our specialist physiotherapist, offers one-to-one sessions and small group classes focusing on controlled movements and postural correction for all ability levels.
Acupuncture
Integrated acupuncture treatments target chronic pain conditions using both traditional Chinese and Western medical approaches. We employ sterile, single-use needles to stimulate endorphin release and alleviate symptoms of arthritis, back pain, and sports injuries.
Continence Physiotherapy
Specialist assessment and treatment for urinary incontinence, including pelvic floor muscle training and bladder retraining. We address pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain and provide biofeedback to improve pelvic floor function through non-invasive techniques.
Elderly Rehabilitation
Comprehensive rehabilitation programmes for older adults focus on fall prevention, balance improvement, and mobility restoration. Our physiotherapists conduct home visits and clinic-based sessions to enhance strength, confidence, and independence in daily activities.
