Physiotherapy
Our comprehensive physiotherapy services address musculoskeletal, orthopaedic, and sports-related injuries through hands-on manual therapy and tailored rehabilitation programmes. We treat acute injuries and chronic conditions using evidence-based techniques to restore mobility and alleviate pain. Our approach combines clinical expertise with patient education to ensure long-term recovery and injury prevention for both athletes and non-athletes.
Sports Massage
Specialist sports massage treatments target muscular tension and sports-related injuries through deep tissue techniques and myofascial release. Our therapists use muscle energy techniques and stretching to improve circulation, enhance mobility, and accelerate recovery. Sessions include post-treatment exercise recommendations to maintain therapeutic benefits and prevent recurrence of musculoskeletal issues.
Podiatry Care
Comprehensive foot care services address biomechanical issues, ingrown toenails, and sports-related foot injuries through biomechanical assessments and targeted interventions. Our podiatrist provides corn and callus removal, gait analysis, and orthotic recommendations. Treatment plans focus on improving foot function and preventing recurring lower limb injuries through both clinical and domiciliary care options.

I would highly recommend Kirsty. Ive had 3 appointments with her for shin pain and extreme tightness in my calves. Im only 48 but walking was becoming very painful. The treatment and advice Kirsty gave has done the trick. Im now walking pain free getting out and enjoying walking again has also helped my mental wellbeing. Thanks Kirsty!

Just returned from an appointment with Kirsty. Very happy with the way she listens, examines, identifies the problem and suggests suitable exercises. I like the self- help philosophy and understand that the more I do my exercises, the better the outcome will be for me! I have been using this practice for a few years now and have seen various different practitioners in that time. I have always been satisfied with the treatment I have received.

Did not matter I said clearly that after 20 years was quite strange was starting to cause pain now. I was sent back 3 times, no massage and just exercises at home. Did not matter I mentioned once after other that I was not progressing and was not having sensed to find the cause as something I have been living with my whole life. Finally I stopped coming, I gave a bad review at work and! After 2 weeks I
