Services
Physiotherapy
Our physiotherapy services combine hands-on manual techniques with evidence-based rehabilitation programmes. We treat musculoskeletal conditions, sports injuries, and chronic pain through joint mobilisation, soft tissue therapy, and tailored exercise prescriptions. With one-hour initial assessments, we create personalised treatment plans focusing on long-term recovery and injury prevention for patients of all activity levels.
Running Assessment
Specialist running assessments utilise motion analysis software to evaluate biomechanics and identify performance-limiting factors. We develop corrective strategies combining strength conditioning, gait retraining, and injury prevention techniques. This service benefits recreational runners and marathon athletes seeking improved efficiency and reduced injury risk through data-driven, individualised programmes.
Sports Rehabilitation
Sports rehabilitation focuses on restoring function after athletic injuries through targeted therapy sessions. Our approach integrates manual treatments, therapeutic exercises, and sport-specific conditioning. Whether recovering from ligament damage or managing overuse injuries, patients receive progressive rehabilitation plans designed to safely return them to peak performance levels while minimising recurrence risks.
