Services
Biomechanical Assessment
Our comprehensive biomechanical assessments identify movement dysfunctions that contribute to musculoskeletal pain. Using advanced observation techniques, we develop corrective exercise programmes to improve posture, balance and joint mechanics. This specialist service helps prevent recurring injuries and enhances physical performance for both athletes and everyday individuals.
Manual Therapy
Specialist manual therapy techniques including joint mobilisation and soft tissue manipulation effectively reduce pain and restore mobility. Our physiotherapists use graded techniques tailored to individual needs, targeting specific areas through precise joint and muscle treatments that improve range of motion and functional capacity.
Electrotherapy
Electrotherapy modalities like ultrasound, interferential and laser therapy accelerate tissue healing and pain relief. These evidence-based treatments increase circulation, reduce inflammation and stimulate cellular repair processes. Delivered under expert supervision, these technologies complement hands-on treatments for enhanced recovery outcomes.
Sports Massage
Deep tissue sports massage targets muscle tension and soft tissue restrictions to enhance recovery and performance. Our therapists use advanced techniques to release trigger points, improve circulation and restore muscle function, particularly effective for sports-related strains and repetitive strain injuries.
Gym Rehabilitation
Our supervised gym programmes combine strength training with functional exercises to rebuild physical capacity. Tailored rehabilitation plans utilise specialist equipment to restore core stability, improve flexibility and enhance overall fitness under physiotherapist guidance, ensuring safe progression during recovery.

Having long standing back issues and pain, Jane was recommended to me by a colleague. That was 18 years ago, since then whenever my back has needed attention, she has been my goto person for treatment. I cant speak highly enough of her and the work she does.

Having damaged my tendon due to the wearing the wrong trainers when running, I limped in to see Sarah. After a detailed analysis I was sent home with a selection of exercises and a follow up appointment for the following week. After 5 weeks of Physio and a structured recovery plan for my tendon, I completed the Lytham 10k achieving a PB! I actually looked forward to my seasons with Sarah as I could see that my treatments were repairing the damage. Hopefully I wont be back soon!!

I went for physio in Whalley after having a alot of pain in the bottom of my back. I'd previously, about 5 years ago, had the same pain and suffered for months whilst attending a NHS back and spinal clinic. They gave me exercises to do, had acupuncture and also had 2 cortisone injections, however I felt it was only time that helped me in my recovery. Sarah at the practice was like a breath of fresh air: she knew exactly what was wrong with my back and explained everything. She was hands on and massaged my back advising that my muscles had gone into spasm. After the first session, my back felt so

Jane and the team at Whalley Physiotherapy are amazing! They manage to keep me on fit and on the netball court despite my many ailments. Notably, Jane helped me succefully rehab my ankle when I had previously tired elsewhere with little success. Always a warm and friendly welcome. I couldn't recommend them more.

In the past I have visited osteopaths, chiropractors and other physiotherapists which have only been able to offer me short term relief. Jane Connelly has been able to stabilise my neck and back in order for me to manage my condition through treatment and exercise. I feel so much better and am grateful that I have eventually found a professional who has the knowledge and expertise to diagnose my condition and give me the appropriate treatment. Thankyou Jane your a star!
