Services
Physiotherapy
Our chartered physiotherapists assess and treat musculoskeletal conditions, sports injuries, and post-operative rehabilitation. Using hands-on techniques, we address back and neck pain, joint issues, and chronic conditions like fibromyalgia. Tailored exercise programs and evidence-based methods ensure long-term recovery and injury prevention for adults and children.
Shockwave Therapy
Radial shockwave therapy targets chronic musculoskeletal conditions such as plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, and shoulder calcification. With an 80% success rate, this non-invasive treatment breaks down scar tissue, stimulates healing, and reduces pain. Typically 3-8 sessions are required, offering an alternative to surgery with no long-term rehabilitation.
Sports Screening
Sports biomechanical screening identifies movement limitations and asymmetries through functional tests. Video analysis of running or golf swings informs personalised exercise programs to enhance performance and prevent injuries. Suitable for non-athletes, recreational, and elite athletes seeking to optimise physical capabilities.
Pilates Classes
Functional Pilates classes improve core stability, flexibility, and dynamic movement. Led by physiotherapists, sessions cater to all abilities, combining strength and mobility exercises. Available as one-to-one tuition or group classes, with online streaming options for flexible participation.
Massage Therapy
Deep tissue sports massage addresses muscle tension, sprains, and post-injury recovery. Techniques enhance circulation, reduce spasms, and prevent adhesions. Specialised options include hot stones and Swedish massage, tailored for athletes and individuals with posture-related pain from sedentary lifestyles.
