Services
Physiotherapy
Our physiotherapy services address musculoskeletal injuries through hands-on manual techniques combined with tailored exercise programs. We specialise in diagnosing and treating spinal, joint, and soft tissue conditions using evidence-based approaches. Patients receive individualised rehabilitation plans focusing on restoring mobility, reducing pain, and preventing future injuries through functional movement patterns.
Sports Massage
Sports massage therapy targets muscle tension and soft tissue restrictions using deep tissue techniques, cupping, and myofascial release. This service benefits athletes and active individuals by improving circulation, accelerating recovery, and enhancing performance. Our therapists adapt pressure intensity to address specific needs, from injury rehabilitation to preventative maintenance.
Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
Specialised post-operative care guides patients through progressive recovery protocols following orthopaedic procedures. We develop customised rehabilitation timelines incorporating joint mobilisation, strength training, and functional exercises. Our approach ensures safe return to daily activities and sports while minimising complication risks through close monitoring of healing progress.
Chronic Tendon Pain
We address chronic tendon conditions using evidence-based interventions including eccentric loading programs, shockwave therapy, and movement pattern analysis. Our approach focuses on tendon remodelling through targeted exercises combined with activity modification strategies. Patients receive education on load management to prevent recurrence while maintaining physical activity levels.
VALD ForceDeck Testing
VALD ForceDeck technology provides objective movement analysis through force plate measurements during functional tasks. This diagnostic tool identifies biomechanical imbalances and tracks rehabilitation progress quantitatively. The data informs precise adjustments to exercise programs, ensuring optimal recovery for athletes and patients with complex movement disorders.

Very good, have been a few times over the years for different issues. Iain is extremely knowledgeable, have been seen by Ross as well. They definitely don't drag the amount of sessions out. I wouldn't have any issue recommending Iain's for physiotherapy.

Following a hip injury I underwent physiotherapy with Ross at Lisburn Physio. After a graduated exercise and physio programme I am now back running at my previous level thanks to his professional expertise.

I've just been to Lisburn Physio and can't recommend Katie highly enough. I had a chronic knee injury that other local physio's couldn't get better, but now I'm back running again! Thank you so much!

I attended Laurene suffering from knee pain. Following my sessions I experienced great improvement in my knee and my back which had been contributing to my problems. I found this to be a brilliantly run practice, easy to obtain a suitable appointment, with an efficient checking in system and a warm and friendly staff. My teenage daughter has previously benefited from treatment with Iain following a back problem. He was extremely professional and ably dealt with her problem immediately putting her at ease and giving her confidence that he would get to the root of the problem which he proceeded

Lisburn Physio, I would like to thank Iain for the excellent service and the care that is being shown to me after my short stay in hospital. In fact this is the 4th time I have been treated by Iain for various injuries, 2 of which were post major surgery and at all times I have made excellent recovery and that was from 2 seperate consultants who put alot of it down to Iain's treatment. An absolutely brilliant physiotherapist and service. Well done to the team.
