Services
Physiotherapy
Our physiotherapy services address acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions through manual therapy, exercise programmes, and electrotherapy. Treatments target back pain, joint issues, and post-surgical rehabilitation. Each plan combines clinical expertise with patient education to prevent recurrence and restore mobility.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture sessions utilise sterilised needles to stimulate healing points, reducing pain and inflammation. This evidence-based technique complements physiotherapy for conditions like arthritis, migraines, and sports injuries. Our practitioners hold specialist acupuncture qualifications with 20+ years of experience.
Sports Injury Treatment
Specialised care for sports-related sprains, strains, and overuse injuries. Treatment combines manual therapy, sport-specific exercises, and Pilates to accelerate recovery. We treat amateur and professional athletes, focusing on injury prevention and performance optimisation.
Back Pain Management
Comprehensive management of acute and chronic back pain through posture correction, manual manipulation, and targeted exercises. We address disc prolapses, sciatica, and degenerative conditions, offering both immediate relief and long-term solutions to prevent recurrence.
Pilates Rehabilitation
Tailored Pilates programmes improve core stability, flexibility, and posture. Delivered individually or in classes, these sessions aid recovery from injuries while preventing future musculoskeletal issues. Pilates is integrated into broader treatment plans for optimal results.

Report
When I injure myself running, I turn to Angela for her treatment of the injury, patient guidance on strengthening exercises, and excellent advice on when/how to resume training. She gets me back on track and road and feeling strong as quickly as possible. It's great to have her in my team!

Report
Very happy with service. I saw Holly for a few sessions following frozen shoulder surgery. She helped to increase my range of movement for which I am very grateful. Was also very accommodating in fitting in my appointments. Thank you Holly

Report
After the first acupuncture session with Angela my symptoms significantly eased (which they had not done after 6 sessions with an NHS physio). I now see her periodically and do the exercises she has set me between sessions and my shoulder is generally better than it has been at any time since I damaged it. I can't recommend Angela highly enough. She is highly skilled and a lovely person too.

Report
I have been seeing Holly and Angela at Valley Physio for a very painful nerve impingement and have received the best of advice, treatment and care over quite an extended period. Their treatment has adapted to my recovery over time, moving from gentle manipulation and exercise to acupuncture. I can highly recommend this team of friendly, skilful professionals.

Report
I first attended Valley Physiotherapy a number of years ago with what I thought (and had been assumed by a previous physio) to be a problem with my knee. Angela however, diagnosed it to be a chronic back problem. She has been managing this problem now with regular visits every five weeks or so for 12+ years. This gives me total mobility, enabling me go on long walks, do gardening and other such activities without any pain or discomfort, and with no need for any medication. She is an excellent physiotherapist - totally professional and friendly. I have no hesitation in recommending her.
