Services

Physiotherapy

Our expert physiotherapists treat musculoskeletal conditions using evidence-based techniques. We address acute injuries, chronic pain, and post-surgical rehabilitation through manual therapy, exercise programs, and advanced diagnostic assessments. Patients benefit from 40-minute sessions focused on restoring mobility, reducing inflammation, and preventing recurrence through tailored treatment plans.

Sports Injury Clinic

Specialised treatment for sports-related injuries combines physiotherapy, biomechanical assessments, and sports massage. Our clinic addresses acute trauma, overuse injuries, and performance limitations with sport-specific rehabilitation programs. Expert care available for runners, cyclists, gymnasts, and team sport athletes across all skill levels.

Pilates Classes

Physio-led Pilates improves core strength, flexibility, and posture through controlled movements. Classes cater to rehabilitation needs and performance enhancement using mat-based and equipment-assisted exercises. Sessions focus on neuromuscular control, spinal stability, and functional movement patterns for injury prevention.

Vertigo Treatment

Specialist assessment and treatment for dizziness and balance issues using vestibular rehabilitation techniques. Clinicians address benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) and other vestibular conditions through positional manoeuvres, gaze stabilisation exercises, and balance retraining programs.

Acupuncture

Traditional acupuncture techniques target musculoskeletal pain and neurological conditions. Fine needle insertion stimulates natural pain-relief mechanisms, reducing inflammation and muscle tension. Effective for chronic back pain, migraines, and joint conditions as part of integrated treatment plans.

Used GP&W for years, I can't see any reason why you'd want to use any other physio than these guys. I've been fixed and needled and repaired numerous times. They not only fix you, but they drill down to find the root cause so that following treatment, you know how to avoid reoccurrence going forwards. Great team, great service.

Emailed practice during lockdown and was emailed within hours by practice manager who put me in touch with Dean, dizzy specialist who contacted me directly to offer advice and resources to help with condition. All done remotely, free of charge due to restrictions. Thank you

I have started online pilates after the lockdown measures. The zoom call was easy to start and Kev makes the lessons clear to follow and fun. We do it as a whole family now. Perfect antidote to the COVID-19 lockdown.

I have recently had virtual physio advice for plantar fasciitis which was really helpful to keep me walking in this time of lock down and my on line Pilates class with Kevin was great fun. It felt good to see everyone else on zoom with me. Would recommend having a go.

Excellent! Great session, good intensity and really can feel a difference each week. Would highly recommend any of Kevin's classes. These are not the dry, dull, slow pilates classes you commonly find available. You will definitely notice the difference and the improvements after each class. Kevin is also quite entertaining with his stories!

Gosforth Physio and Wellness has had a very positive effect on my life. Initially, I had great treatment for a painful thigh and took up Kevin's suggestion of Pilates classes to strengthen my body to prevent further problems. I have found these very effective indeed. I have rheumatoid arthritis and this has affected my joints. Recently James has worked very extensively on my feet and has made a miraculous difference to them. I totally recommend Gosforth Physio and Wellness. You will find the whole staff team professional and friendly and I am very confident that they will do their utmost to assist

I am very pleased with the treatment I received from James at Gosforth Physiotherapy and Wellness. The exercises and advice helped me to deal with my lower back pains and as a result I have had very little, if any, problems now. He is very professional and knowledgable in his area of expertise and I would highly recommend James.
