Physiotherapy

Our physiotherapy treatments combine manual techniques, exercise rehabilitation, and movement analysis to address musculoskeletal conditions. Specialising in back pain, neck pain, and joint issues, we create tailored recovery plans that restore mobility and reduce discomfort. With both hands-on treatment and home exercise programs, our approach focuses on long-term solutions rather than temporary pain relief, helping patients return to their daily activities with improved functionality and reduced risk of recurrence.

Sports Massage

Specialist sports massage therapy targets soft tissue injuries and muscular imbalances through deep tissue work, trigger point therapy, and myofascial release. Designed for athletes and active individuals, our treatments enhance recovery, improve flexibility, and prevent future injuries. We address specific sports-related conditions while promoting overall wellness through increased circulation and reduced muscle tension, complementing other rehabilitation programs for optimal performance outcomes.

Graduate Sports Therapy

Delivered by BSc/MSc qualified therapists, our graduate sports therapy focuses on musculoskeletal injury assessment and rehabilitation. Using evidence-based techniques including joint mobilisation, acupuncture, and functional movement analysis, we develop sport-specific recovery programs. This service caters to both amateur and professional athletes, addressing acute injuries and chronic conditions while implementing preventive strategies to maintain peak physical performance.

Sport Injuries

Comprehensive sports injury management covering acute trauma treatment, rehabilitation planning, and return-to-play protocols. Our specialists handle conditions ranging from ligament sprains to overuse injuries, employing a combination of manual therapy, strength training, and biomechanical correction. We work closely with athletes across various disciplines to ensure safe recovery while maintaining fitness levels through modified training programs tailored to each injury type.

Work Injuries

Specialist treatment for work-related musculoskeletal injuries, focusing on ergonomic assessment and functional rehabilitation. Our approach addresses repetitive strain injuries, lifting-related conditions, and posture-related pain through workplace adaptations and targeted therapy. We collaborate with patients and employers to facilitate safe return-to-work transitions while implementing preventive strategies to reduce future workplace injury risks through improved movement patterns and workstation setups.

Excellent service - I've been going to Kat Lake for various sports issues, all physios are Excellent! I pulled my back last year and was unable to walk, sit or stand, they got me in with an emergency appointment with Jack who lifted the pain until I could get to the doctors. This year I struggled with shin splints from running all now good and ready to start running again! Like many I now work from home and encounterd work stress with not enough breaks at my desk - Kat has alleviated my neck and jaw the release was immediate . I have recommended friends who are all still going and love the holistic

I registered with Lake Therapy almost 12 weeks ago, having collapsed on a perfectly flat surface, my ankle had just given way. My initial assessment with Kat highlighted a further issue with my shoulder sustained playing squash 8 years ago, I have not played since. The team are outstanding at LT. I am now completely pain free in my ankle, and my shoulder is almost up to playing squash again, something that I never thought would happen. From the moment you arrive at LT, a broad smile and a coffee awaits you. The reception team are wonderful, conscientious and caring; a real joy. The physios are

Jack was incredible. I came in after my chemo treatment and wanted to be healthy enough to train pain free again. (I used to play rugby)
Week after week Jack helped me progress, explaining everything to me as we went and tailoring exercise plans for me to get on with, I am now competing in an ultra marathon in April so it all worked. I moved away or else Id still be seeing him, thanks a lot Jack I will see you soon.

Have been seeing Kat for a number of years now, mostly as a result of a sporting injury or two and she has always been able to pin-point and target the true problem areas, and more importantly fix them! Some say she can be quite brutal, but I'd say she's hitting the right spots because if there was nothing wrong then they wouldn't hurt, at least that's what she keeps telling me :-)
To give you some context I travel more than 40 minutes (each way) to receive treatment and you wouldn't do that if you weren't happy with the outcome!!

Suffering from chronic back pain for over 10 years I felt coming to Lake Therapy would give me a different and effective approach than my previous treatments, and I was right. The approach taken was tailored to correct my pain issues. It is ongoing week by week progress but I feel more positive with each appointment. I tried lots of other treatments before going to Lake Therapy and I cant believe the difference seeing Katie regularly has made. The team, from the moment I first walked in have been professional, friendly, and accommodating to all my needs. I would have no hesitation in recommending
