Services
Physiotherapy
Targeted treatment to improve mobility, aid recovery, and build strength through evidence-based techniques. Our physiotherapists address sports injuries, post-surgical rehabilitation, and chronic pain conditions using manual therapy, exercise prescription, and advanced modalities. Patients receive personalised programmes focusing on functional restoration and injury prevention.
Osteopathy
Whole-body treatment addressing musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction through hands-on techniques. Our osteopaths treat back pain, joint issues, and postural problems by improving mobility, reducing muscle tension, and enhancing blood supply. Treatment includes spinal manipulation, soft tissue work, and tailored exercise advice for long-term benefits.
Shockwave Therapy
Non-invasive treatment using acoustic waves to stimulate healing for chronic musculoskeletal conditions. This technology promotes tissue repair and pain relief for conditions like plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, and calcific tendinitis. Sessions combine radial and focused shockwaves with physical therapy for enhanced outcomes in reduced treatment cycles.
Pilates
Group and individual sessions focusing on core stability, posture, and movement control. Our Pilates instructors use mat work and reformer equipment to improve strength, flexibility, and body awareness. Programmes address rehabilitation needs, sports performance, and general fitness with emphasis on proper technique and progressive challenges.
Vestibular Rehabilitation
Specialised programme for dizziness and balance disorders caused by inner ear dysfunction. Treatment includes gaze stability exercises, habituation techniques, and balance retraining to reduce vertigo symptoms. Our therapists address conditions like BPPV and vestibular neuritis through personalised rehabilitation plans improving daily functioning.

My first visit to Woodside Clinic Dunstable, Physiotherapy. Was so amazed the next morning I woke up and could raise my arms without the pain I have suffered for the last 6 months. I am so grateful to Piotr the Physiotherapist I can now see the light at the end of the tunnel.

I have been going to the clinic for years and have always received a professional service from all clinicians, they always make you feel welcome and are very knowledgeable when giving you advice with injuries etc. I also go to the pilates class that is offered by the clinic in Leighton Buzzard taught by Claire which I would highly recommend too!
