Physiotherapy Assessment
Our chartered physiotherapists conduct comprehensive evaluations to identify musculoskeletal issues. We examine affected areas and related structures, taking detailed medical histories to diagnose conditions accurately. This 60-minute session includes creating individualised treatment plans with clear explanations of findings and next steps, ensuring patients understand their condition and recovery pathway.
Acupuncture
Evidence-based acupuncture treatment for pain management, combining traditional Chinese medicine principles with Western medical understanding. Our licensed practitioners use sterile needles to stimulate natural pain relief mechanisms. This service includes detailed consent processes, safety information leaflets, and blood donor certificates for post-treatment blood donations as required.
Lymphoedema Management
Specialised care for chronic swelling conditions using evidence-based techniques. Our trained physiotherapists provide manual lymphatic drainage, compression therapy, and exercise programmes. This holistic approach includes education on self-management techniques and access to specialist hosiery and equipment for long-term condition management.
Pilates
APPI-certified Pilates instruction focusing on core stability and posture improvement. We offer both one-to-one sessions and small group classes tailored to individual fitness levels. Our physiotherapists adapt exercises for rehabilitation purposes while maintaining the integrity of Joseph Pilates' original method for overall body conditioning.
Vestibular Rehabilitation
Specialist treatment for dizziness and balance disorders using evidence-based protocols. Our physiotherapists employ specific repositioning techniques for BPPV and customised exercise programmes to improve balance. This service addresses both acute and long-term vestibular conditions with measurable outcomes and patient education components.
