Services
Physiotherapy
Our physiotherapy service includes comprehensive assessments, diagnosis, and treatment for musculoskeletal conditions. Therapists use joint mobilisation, soft tissue techniques, and tailored exercise programmes to restore mobility and reduce pain. Patients receive personalised care plans focused on long-term recovery and self-management.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is offered as an adjunct treatment for pain management and inflammation reduction. Our trained therapists use fine needles to stimulate specific points, promoting natural healing and relieving conditions like chronic back pain, headaches, and arthritis. Sessions integrate seamlessly with physiotherapy plans.
Home Visits
Home physiotherapy visits are available within a 5-mile radius for patients with mobility challenges. Services include post-surgical rehabilitation, joint mobilisation, and exercise guidance in the comfort of your home, ensuring continuity of care without travel barriers.
Rehabilitation Exercises
Custom rehabilitation programmes focus on restoring strength, flexibility, and function after injury or surgery. Therapists design progressive exercise plans, including Pilates-based movements, to enhance recovery and prevent recurrence of musculoskeletal issues.
Joint Mobilisation
Joint mobilisation techniques improve range of motion and alleviate stiffness in areas like the spine, shoulders, and knees. This hands-on approach, combined with patient education, addresses conditions such as arthritis, impingement, and post-traumatic stiffness effectively.

Report
Exceptional physios like Marion are very rare. She will listen, understand and apply her wealth of knowledge and experience to your particular situation. She will assess, provide an accurate diagnosis and help you work out a clear plan of what is realistic to do next. She will give specific and effective hands-on. There are many physio you can pick who will do an OK job of this but Marion is one of the few that truly delivers in every aspect. I whole heartedly recommend Marion at Clifton Physio.
