Physiotherapy
Our comprehensive physiotherapy services address musculoskeletal injuries, post-operative rehabilitation, and chronic pain management. Using manual therapy techniques combined with tailored exercise programmes, we help patients restore mobility and function. The team specialises in treating sports-related injuries, workplace strains, and age-related conditions through evidence-based interventions.
Shockwave Therapy
This non-invasive treatment uses acoustic waves to accelerate healing in musculoskeletal conditions. Clinically proven for treating tendon disorders, plantar fasciitis, and calcific shoulder tendinitis, our therapists deliver targeted shockwave therapy to stimulate tissue repair and reduce pain without surgery.
Sports Massage
Designed for athletes and active individuals, our sports massage therapy reduces muscle tension, improves flexibility, and prevents injuries. Therapists use deep-tissue techniques to address specific muscle groups affected by repetitive strain or sports-related trauma.
Paediatric Physiotherapy
Specialised care for children with developmental delays or physical impairments. Our therapists use play-based interventions to improve motor skills, coordination, and functional abilities while providing parental guidance for continued progress at home.
Acupuncture
Integrated as part of our pain management approach, acupuncture involves precise needle placement to alleviate chronic pain conditions. Our practitioners combine traditional techniques with modern medical understanding to treat headaches, joint pain, and muscular discomfort.

Report
I've struggled for several years with hip problems that stopped me from running frequently. It was such a long-standing problem that I thought it would always be there.
However, after a few sessions with Alex, I'm now able to run several times a week pain free. I honestly didn't think that this would ever be achievable. All the staff I've dealt with have been professional and quick to respond via email etc... if I've had any questions at all.
Needless to say, I'm really impressed with my treatment and I'd happily recommend this practice to anyone.

As an accident prone young guy I've been numerous times for various problems - rehab after an acl reconstruction, dislocated tendon in ankle and a bad back.
Been repaired quickly, with solid advice and not been strung along with numerous visits. Highly recommend, based on previous experience with numerous other physios
