Services
Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy restores movement and function following injury, illness, or disability. Our chartered physiotherapists use manual therapy, exercise programmes, and advanced techniques like shockwave therapy to reduce pain, improve mobility, and prevent future injuries. Tailored treatments address musculoskeletal, sports, and post-operative conditions, ensuring long-term recovery and enhanced physical performance for all clients.
Sports Therapy
Specialised sports therapy focuses on injury prevention, assessment, and rehabilitation for athletes. Combining soft tissue techniques, biomechanical analysis, and strength conditioning, we treat sports-related injuries while optimising performance. Our evidence-based approach ensures rapid recovery and return to activity, supported by expertise in treating professional athletes across rugby, football, and MMA.
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy utilises high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate healing in chronic musculoskeletal conditions like tendinopathies. This non-invasive treatment accelerates tissue repair, reduces pain, and improves mobility, particularly effective for shoulder, knee, and foot injuries. Backed by clinical research, it offers rapid results for patients unresponsive to traditional therapies.
Personal Training
Our personal training programmes are designed to meet individual fitness goals through tailored exercise regimens. Certified trainers combine strength, conditioning, and cardiovascular training to enhance overall health, endurance, and performance. With a focus on proper technique and progressive challenges, we support clients in achieving sustainable fitness improvements and lifestyle transformations.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves inserting fine needles at specific points to alleviate pain and promote healing. At Callachans, we use this technique to address musculoskeletal pain, inflammation, and stress-related conditions. Integrated with physiotherapy, it enhances recovery by stimulating the body's natural healing processes and improving circulation, offering a holistic approach to pain management.

I hurt my knee running and within 3 sessions i was back on the road better than before. Great facility and very friendly, professional staff, from the front desk to the therapists. The Covid safety arrangements were the best i've seen.

Received an hour long sports massage from Nial. Outstanding. Very nice guy to chat to which made the hour fly in. All areas were immaculate and all staff pleasant and friendly. Received physio off Andy many years ago and can definitely recommend the business as a whole. Thanks again
