Services
Physiotherapy
Our physiotherapy services specialise in post-operative recovery for knees, shoulders, and spines. Using sports rehabilitation techniques, we create tailored treatment plans combining manual therapy, exercise programs, and advanced diagnostics. With 20 years' experience treating professional athletes and general patients alike, our HCPC-registered team focuses on eliminating pain sources while restoring mobility. We maintain partnerships with leading UK surgeons to ensure comprehensive care pathways.
Sports Massage
Designed for injury prevention and performance enhancement, our sports massage therapy addresses muscular imbalances and tension. Delivered by specialist therapists, sessions target specific areas affected by repetitive movements or trauma. This service benefits athletes, office workers with postural strain, and manual labourers requiring muscular recovery. We often combine massage with other treatments for optimal rehabilitation outcomes.
Hydrotherapy
Utilising water's therapeutic properties, our hydrotherapy pool enables low-impact rehabilitation. The buoyancy reduces joint stress while allowing controlled movement, ideal for post-surgical recovery and chronic pain management. This service complements our physiotherapy programs, particularly for patients with mobility limitations or severe musculoskeletal conditions requiring gentle rehabilitation.
Acupuncture
Our acupuncture therapy stimulates natural pain relief through targeted needle insertion. Evidence-based treatments help reduce inflammation and muscle tension while promoting circulation. This service effectively manages chronic pain conditions and complements other rehabilitation programs. Practitioners integrate acupuncture with physiotherapy techniques for enhanced recovery outcomes.
Shockwave Therapy
This non-invasive solution addresses persistent soft tissue injuries using acoustic waves to stimulate healing. Clinically proven for conditions like plantar fasciitis and tennis elbow, shockwave therapy offers an alternative to surgery. Widely adopted by professional sports teams, it delivers targeted treatment for chronic musculoskeletal issues resistant to conventional therapies.

Sophie is a fantastic physio. She very professionally and diligently identified the root biomechanical cause of why my foot was in pain. I am very grateful to her in helping in my recovery. I would highly recommend.

I've been putting off seeing a Physio about ongoing knee problems for nearly 3 years now - I finally went and saw Sophie Tucker today (March 2021) for an initial assessment and treatment plan. Sophie was nothing but friendly, professional and I really quickly felt like i could trust her and her knowledge. I'm looking forward to working with Sophie over the coming weeks so I can get back walking pain free again! I can highly recommend Harris & Ross (and Sophie).

I brought my 13 year old daughter to see Luke early last year after she had damaged her knee playing for her football team. Luke suspected a torn ACL and advised and guided us on the way forward. An MRI scan confirmed she had unfortunately torn her ACL and Im pleased to say thanks to the advice given my daughter is now back playing football. Thank you Luke.

A huge thank you to Dave at Harris & Ross for treating my little boy after injuring himself at a trampoline party. Dave was so thorough - he wouldnt leave a stone unturned. He was incredibly professional, he really put a shy boy at ease and we left with a smile on our faces for the first time since the injury! We cant thank you enough!

Excellent service. I've been with Harris & Ross several times now and have always found the level of physio and clinic itself to be extremely high quality. I'm in the middle of rehab for an ankle and knee injury and have seen significant improvement after my 3rd session.
