Services
Physiotherapy
Our physiotherapy service addresses musculoskeletal injuries and chronic pain through comprehensive assessment and tailored treatment plans. Using manual therapy, exercise prescription, and advanced techniques like acupuncture, our chartered physiotherapists treat conditions ranging from sports injuries to workplace ergonomics issues. Each session focuses on restoring mobility, reducing pain, and preventing future injuries through patient education and functional rehabilitation programmes specifically adapted to individual needs and lifestyle requirements.
Shockwave Therapy
This non-invasive treatment utilises acoustic waves to accelerate healing in musculoskeletal conditions. Effective for chronic tendon injuries, plantar fasciitis, and muscle pain, our shockwave therapy stimulates blood flow and tissue regeneration without requiring surgery. Each 15-minute session delivers targeted energy to affected areas, with most patients requiring 3-6 treatments for lasting pain relief and improved mobility in conditions that have resisted conventional therapies.
Sports Therapy
Specialist care for sports-related injuries combines immediate trauma management with progressive rehabilitation programmes. Our therapists assess biomechanical imbalances, provide sports massage, and implement functional strength training to safely return athletes to competition. The service includes pre-participation screening for dancers and tailored recovery plans that address both acute injuries and chronic overuse conditions affecting performance and mobility.
Podiatry Services
Our specialist podiatrists treat complex foot and ankle conditions including ingrown toenails, plantar fasciitis, and sports-related injuries. The clinic offers nail surgery under local anaesthetic, verrucae needling, and gait analysis to address biomechanical issues. Post-operative care and custom orthotics prescriptions ensure complete recovery while minimising recurrence risk through comprehensive patient education on foot health maintenance.
Clinical Pilates
Tailored Pilates programmes improve core stability, flexibility, and postural control as part of injury rehabilitation or performance enhancement. Led by physiotherapists, these sessions integrate traditional Pilates principles with modern rehabilitation science to address specific musculoskeletal imbalances. The methodical approach helps prevent re-injury while enhancing functional movement patterns for both clinical recovery and athletic performance.

Report
Having suffered from an ingrown toenail for a few years, I finally decided it was time to do something about it. The level of care that Jayne provided was second to none, from the initial consultation through to the nail surgery and follow up appointments, I was made to feel totally at ease throughout. I honestly couldn't recommend Jayne and the S57 Clinic enough, my only regret is not doing something about it sooner!

I went for reflexology treatment with Jayne at S57. It was so relaxing and the treatment was amazing. Jayne is excellent, friendly and I came out feeling like I was walking on air and totally refreshed. Would highly recommend and can't wait to go again.

Report
My first ever visit to a physiotherapist and it was extremely helpful. I've experienced knee pain for a few years now and Elle was able to assess the issues providing helpful reassurance and useful exercises to improve the pain. Several months on and they're feeling much better! Thanks so much - definitely recommend. Friendly and professional.

Report
Visited S57 Clinic for the first time in February to have a badly ingrown toenail removed. I had it for 5 years, being too anxious to let anyone look at it until Jayne at the clinic talked me through it and suggested the best course of action regarding the toe. The price was absolutely fantastic and well worth it, especially with the aftercare and support she offers. Would 100% recommend anyone, including people with anxiety about procedures, to visit Jayne if you have any problems with your feet.
