Services
MSK Diagnostic Clinic
Our MSK Diagnostic Clinic utilises point-of-care ultrasound scanning for precise musculoskeletal diagnosis. Consultant Physiotherapist Geoff Twinning integrates imaging with clinical assessment to identify injury specifics and guide targeted rehabilitation. This service often prevents unnecessary consultant referrals while ensuring accurate treatment planning for faster recovery.
Shockwave Therapy
Focused shockwave therapy delivers high-energy acoustic waves for tissue repair and pain relief. Clinically proven for chronic tendon injuries and musculoskeletal conditions, our radial and focused ESWT options stimulate healing in cases resistant to conventional treatments, with measurable improvements shown in clinical studies.
Sports Injury Management
Specialist sports physiotherapists provide comprehensive injury management from acute phase to full performance recovery. Combining manual therapy, strength conditioning, and biomechanical analysis, our programmes address ligament sprains, muscle strains, and overuse injuries while preventing reoccurrence through tailored exercise protocols.
Acupuncture
Postgraduate-certified clinicians use acupuncture to complement physiotherapy treatments. This evidence-based approach effectively reduces pain and inflammation by stimulating specific anatomical points, particularly beneficial for chronic pain conditions, headaches, and musculoskeletal dysfunction when integrated with conventional therapies.
Running Clinic
Personalised running assessments use video analysis and biomechanical evaluation to identify technical inefficiencies. Tailored correction programmes address overstriding, foot strike patterns, and posture issues to enhance performance while reducing injury risk through individualised training modifications and footwear advice.
