Sports Injuries
Our sports injury rehabilitation combines hands-on treatment with tailored exercise programmes to accelerate recovery. We diagnose and treat conditions from minor strains to elite athlete injuries, collaborating with coaches and specialists. Evidence-based techniques restore mobility and prevent recurrence, ensuring safe return to activity.
Back Pain
Specialised assessment and treatment for acute and chronic back pain. We identify root causes through detailed examination, employing manual therapy, posture correction, and targeted exercises. Collaborative care with consultants ensures comprehensive management of disc issues, sciatica, and postural strain.
Post-Op Rehabilitation
Pre- and post-operative care optimises outcomes for joint replacements and ligament repairs. Individualised plans include mobility exercises, strength training, and pain management techniques. Close coordination with surgeons ensures adherence to rehabilitation protocols for faster, safer recovery.
Shoulder Problems
Expert diagnosis and treatment for shoulder pain, including rotator cuff injuries and frozen shoulder. Manual therapy, joint mobilisation, and stabilisation exercises address mobility limitations. Referrals for imaging or specialist consultation ensure accurate management of complex cases.

Would highly recommend City Physio in Granada Road Southsea. Rich is brilliant for sports massage and Dom is a physio who diagnosed my neck problem very quickly with gentle exercises to continue to strengthen
Wish Id found them 11 months ago.

I have been treated by City Physio for a few years now and thought i should probably write a review. Dom and his team at City are basically the reason i can walk and cycle as well as i can now. I honestly cannot recommend them enough. The treatment is excellent, and care and support is superb. I have always felt very safe being in their care in the knowledge that they can fix me. May seem a strange thing to say but having a debilitating disease can seem very isolating and scary at times which is something i have never felt due to these guys and that's one of the most important factors for me. Thanks
