Services
Physiotherapy
Our physiotherapy services address musculoskeletal injuries and conditions through hands-on treatment and exercise programs. We assess each patient's biomechanics to create personalized rehabilitation plans targeting pain relief and functional restoration. With experienced clinicians using evidence-based techniques, we help patients recover from injuries, manage chronic conditions, and improve overall physical performance.
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy delivers targeted acoustic waves to accelerate healing in musculoskeletal tissues. This non-invasive treatment effectively addresses chronic pain conditions like plantar fasciitis and tendonopathies. Our clinicians use advanced equipment to stimulate natural healing processes, with many patients experiencing significant improvement after 3-5 sessions.
Pelvic Health
Our pelvic health physiotherapy addresses conditions affecting the pelvic floor muscles and associated structures. Specialized treatments help with urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, and postnatal rehabilitation. Using internal and external assessment techniques, we develop individualized programs combining manual therapy, exercise, and lifestyle advice to improve pelvic function and quality of life.
Sports Massage
Sports massage targets deep muscle tissues to relieve tension, improve flexibility, and enhance athletic performance. Our therapists use advanced techniques to treat muscle imbalances, prevent injuries, and aid recovery. Regular sessions help maintain optimal musculoskeletal function for both professional athletes and active individuals.
Running Assessment
Our running assessments analyze biomechanics to identify movement inefficiencies and injury risks. Using video analysis and physical testing, we create personalized strengthening programs to improve running form. This service benefits both recreational runners and competitive athletes seeking to enhance performance while reducing injury likelihood through targeted interventions.

John was brilliant from start to finish. Diagnosing my problem in an efficient way and giving me some exercises to calm it down and then develop long term strength to fix it.

Report
Really great service at a convenient location in Kendal Town Centre. Was referred following a broken ankle and surgery. Really knowledgeable and great at explaining what was going on with my foot, Richard helped my recovery with sensible realistic and adaptable goals and exercises. Hopefully won't need to see another Physio but would 100% return to this practice if needed. Recommended.

I went for treatment for a painful knee, acting on the recommendation of a very satisfied former patient. Despite the initial visit being during the C-19 lockdown, I was offered an early appointment. On arrival I found the reception staff to be friendly and professional. At different times I was treated by both Richard and Olivia. Both were caring, attentive and friendly. My concerns were listened to, a thorough assessment undertaken and an initial set of exercises prescribed. On my second visit, further assessments were made and the exercise programme tweaked.

Managed to strain my back weeding my garden and as an active climber, hill walker and cyclist was keen to get back in action quickly. John Bragge was very systematic in getting to grips with my injury and after some manipulation and providing me with an exercise/strengthening routine I'm now moving freely again. Recommended.
