Services
Physiotherapy
Our Chartered Physiotherapists provide comprehensive treatment for musculoskeletal, neurological, cardiovascular, and respiratory conditions. Using hands-on techniques including joint manipulation, acupuncture, and myofascial release, we create individualised rehabilitation plans. Each session combines manual therapy with exercise programmes to restore mobility and prevent recurrence, supported by on-site diagnostic ultrasound for precise injury assessment.
Sports Massage
Specialist soft tissue therapy addresses sports-related injuries and general muscle tension. Treatments include deep tissue work, scar tissue mobilisation, and pre/post-event massage. Our therapists use compression and manipulation techniques to enhance recovery, improve flexibility, and prevent injuries, with sessions available in 30 or 60-minute durations tailored to individual needs.
Ultrasound Scanning
As North East Lincolnshire's first private clinic to offer this technology, we provide high-resolution imaging for sports injuries and musculoskeletal conditions. The on-site scanner enables immediate diagnosis of muscle, ligament, and joint issues, allowing targeted treatment plans. This service reduces diagnostic delays and ensures accurate monitoring of recovery progress during rehabilitation.
Spinal Treatments
Specialist management of back and neck pain includes sciatica, disc prolapse, and degenerative conditions. Treatment combines intra-muscular stimulation, acupuncture, and joint mobilisation with postural correction advice. Our orthopaedic practitioner collaborates with spinal consultants to deliver evidence-based interventions that address both symptoms and underlying causes of spinal discomfort.
Arthritis Management
Comprehensive physiotherapy programmes reduce arthritis-related pain and stiffness while improving joint mobility. Techniques include thermotherapy, electrotherapy, and tailored exercise regimens to strengthen supporting muscles. We focus on maintaining functional independence and delaying surgical intervention through conservative management strategies that enhance quality of life for arthritis sufferers.

I have had appointments with both Fillipo and Loui and the treatment significantly improved my lower back problems. The treatment and expected outcomes were explained to me and I had several sessions of dry needling and manipulation which has reduced my pain and increased my mobility. Many thanks.

Report
Following my boyfriend's advice, I've been treated by Physiotherapist Filippo Spada due to a persistent problem in my leg and shoulder. Mr Spada was able to quickly identify the source of the problem that had been bothering me for several months. During the duration of the whole treatment, he proposed a series of exercises with a combination of hands-on treatment. I definitely noticed a huge improvement! What I appreciated the most is his technical knowledge and holistic vision that allow him not only to effectively treat clients' injuries but also to generally improve patients' quality of life

Both Filippo and Louis are very knowledgable and friendly. Sorted out a reoccurring ankle injury sustained during football. 10/10 would recommend and will go again for any future injuries.

I initially chose Physio First because it was near work....... Not the best way to choose but alas it all worked out. I have been treated by Fillippo over a number of weeks and have no complaints. The pain & discomfort I felt at the beginning of treatment has completely gone. Very pleased with my treatment and would highly recommend Fillippo.

I would really recommend the treatment here. Filippo has sorted out my chronic hip problem I thought I was stuck with. I had acupuncture, along with strengthening exercises and great advice.

Superb treatment! Filippo really knew his stuff and has started me on the road to recovery. Just the advice alone was worth the price. First treatment had an immediate impact and has given me confidence I'll get over my problem. Thoroughly recommend.
