Services
Physiotherapy
Our physiotherapy services address musculoskeletal pain and injuries through personalized treatment plans. Using manual therapy, exercise prescription, and patient education, we focus on restoring mobility and preventing recurrence. Clients receive one-on-one sessions with expert clinicians who combine hands-on treatment with home exercise programmes to ensure long-term recovery and improved quality of life.
Sports Massage
Sports massage targets muscle tension and stiffness caused by repetitive strain or athletic activity. Our therapists use deep-tissue techniques to enhance circulation, reduce soreness, and improve flexibility. This service benefits both athletes and non-athletes seeking relief from muscular discomfort, with session durations tailored to individual needs for focused or full-body treatment.
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy delivers targeted energy pulses to stimulate healing in damaged tissues. Effective for chronic conditions like plantar fasciitis and tendonopathy, this non-invasive treatment promotes blood flow and cell regeneration. Typically requiring 3-6 sessions, it offers rapid pain relief and functional improvement without surgery or medication.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber to accelerate healing. This treatment enhances tissue repair, reduces inflammation, and boosts energy levels. Ideal for post-surgical recovery, sports injuries, and chronic fatigue, sessions last 60 minutes and are available in intensive packages for optimal therapeutic benefit.
Online Consultations
Online consultations provide remote access to physiotherapy assessments and guidance via video or phone. Clinicians deliver exercise programmes, self-management strategies, and progress monitoring, ensuring continuity of care for clients unable to attend in person. This service maintains clinical standards while offering flexible, accessible treatment options.

Report
I cant recommend Laura enough with her expertise, passion and compassion - I wish I'd come sooner! I have had chronic back pain for 20 + years and hadn't been able to receive a correct diagnosis from multiple private and NHS Physios. Getting an injury during lock down through running I thankfully called Summit for a "quick fix" for that problem. Within 2 visits Laura eased my latest injury and diagnosed my ongoing back problem - which was all linked! I am now on a treatment plan that works and I can say that my back pain has for the most part gone and continues to get better.

After having recurring lower back problems for years I came here for physio with Emma. She is fantastic and has always been very professional and caring. She has given me the confidence to now exercise safely and correctly without causing further problems.
