Physiotherapy
Our physiotherapy service addresses musculoskeletal conditions through comprehensive assessments and tailored treatment plans. Using manual therapy, exercise rehabilitation, and advanced technology, we treat back pain, joint issues, and post-surgical recovery. Expert physiotherapists create individualised programs combining hands-on techniques with home exercise apps to ensure lasting results.
Sports Injuries
Specialist sports injury treatment diagnoses and rehabilitates athletic conditions using diagnostic tests and progressive exercise programs. We treat tendonitis, muscle strains, and overuse injuries, providing return-to-sport guidance. Our evidence-based approach accelerates recovery while preventing re-injury through biomechanical analysis and strength training.
Home Visits
Home physiotherapy visits deliver rehabilitation services to clients unable to attend clinics. We provide post-hospital recovery support, mobility improvement programs, and fall prevention assessments. Our therapists conduct thorough evaluations in patients' environments to create context-specific treatment plans for optimal recovery.

Medically trained physiotherapists deliver therapeutic massage to address muscle imbalances and sports injuries. Combining deep tissue techniques with postural analysis, we relieve chronic tension and improve mobility.

Angela is the best physiotherapist I have ever seen. Angela is caring about her patients and goes out of her way to help people. She is very knowledgeable and her assessments are thorough. She truly listens and does her best to help you get out of pain in the most appropriate way to your circumstances. The rehabilitation studio at Atherton Physiotherapy is also an added bonus for any patients that need it. Their state of the art exercise software allows you to be given exercises tailored to your individual needs rather than like other practices which just give you bog standard exercises leaflets

The massage itself is so gentle so nothing to fear whilst healing, but
