Services
Physiotherapy
Our Chartered Physiotherapists provide evidence-based treatments for musculoskeletal conditions, combining manual therapy with tailored exercise programmes. We address both acute injuries and chronic conditions like osteoarthritis, using clinical expertise developed over 80 years of practice. The service focuses on restoring mobility and reducing pain through individualised treatment plans that incorporate the latest research findings.
Sports Massage
Specialist massage treatments target sports-related injuries and muscle tension, complementing physiotherapy interventions. Our therapists address conditions like ITB syndrome and Achilles tendinopathy through deep tissue techniques. The service includes pre-event preparation and post-competition recovery treatments, supporting athletes across various disciplines including rugby, cycling, and dance.
Shockwave Therapy
Non-invasive Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy treats chronic tendon conditions with acoustic waves that stimulate healing. Proven effective for plantar fasciitis and tennis elbow, this advanced treatment breaks down calcium deposits and improves blood circulation. Delivered by experienced physiotherapists, it offers an alternative to surgical intervention for musculoskeletal conditions.
Orthopaedic Rehabilitation
Comprehensive rehabilitation programmes support patients before and after orthopaedic procedures. We specialise in joint replacement recovery and cruciate ligament reconstruction rehabilitation. Our approach combines strengthening exercises with mobility work, tailored to individual surgical requirements and recovery timelines.
Sports Injuries
Expert management of sports-related injuries ranging from acute sprains to chronic overuse conditions. We treat rugby injuries, running-related issues like shin splints, and dance-specific musculoskeletal problems. The service includes injury prevention advice and return-to-play protocols, working closely with local sports teams and dance schools.

Very little effort made to diagnose the root cause of my sore back resulting in provision of inappropriate treatment. Hobbled out in more pain than I was in when I walked in, days added to my recovery. Would not recommend.

Report
Professional atmosphere, good treatment. This was my first visit to any physio, so I don't have much to compare it to. I attended in April 2018, and calling around 12.30pm was able to make a next day appointment after suffering a severe and sudden condition. The physio I saw (Alex Dickinson) was punctual and thorough, first investigating the injury and taking careful notes, followed by treatment.
He also discussed another, older injury I had, and quickly ran through a program of exercises for both injuries. The half hour appointment was enough to quickly achieve all this, and cost 42 pounds, which
