Services
Physiotherapy
Our comprehensive physiotherapy services address musculoskeletal conditions, post-operative rehabilitation, and chronic pain management. Using evidence-based techniques including manual therapy, electrotherapy, and exercise prescription, our senior physiotherapists create personalised treatment plans to restore mobility and function. With decades of combined NHS and private sector experience, our team specialises in treating complex cases that require advanced clinical reasoning and specialist equipment.
Sports Injuries
Specialist sports injury rehabilitation for athletes and active individuals. Our physiotherapists have extensive experience treating soft tissue injuries, ligament sprains, and joint conditions through biomechanical assessment, sports massage, and progressive rehabilitation programmes. We provide expert care for pre and post-competition screening, return-to-sport protocols, and injury prevention strategies tailored to individual sporting requirements.
Hydrotherapy
Our dedicated hydrotherapy pool provides effective treatment for musculoskeletal and neurological conditions. The warm water environment enables early mobilisation after surgery, pain relief for arthritic conditions, and resistance-based strengthening. With adjustable current settings and specialist equipment, our hydrotherapy sessions combine buoyancy-assisted movement with targeted therapeutic exercises to improve mobility and reduce pain.
Acupuncture
Integrated acupuncture treatment for pain management and musculoskeletal rehabilitation. Delivered by physiotherapists with specialist acupuncture qualifications, our sessions use sterile, single-use needles to stimulate the body's natural pain-relief mechanisms. This evidence-based approach effectively treats chronic pain conditions, particularly non-specific low back pain, through carefully placed needle insertions combined with conventional physiotherapy techniques.
Circulation Clinic
Specialist vascular physiotherapy for circulatory disorders including intermittent claudication. Led by consultant vascular surgeon Prof Jonathan Beard, our circulation clinic combines Nordic walking programmes with biomechanical assessment to improve lower limb blood flow. This evidence-based approach addresses poor circulation through structured exercise programmes that enhance mobility and reduce pain during physical activity.
