Services
Physiotherapy
Our chartered physiotherapists provide hands-on treatment for musculoskeletal conditions, sports injuries, and post-operative recovery. Using manual therapy, exercise prescription, and advanced techniques like dry needling, we restore mobility and reduce pain. With over 50 years' local experience, we deliver personalised rehabilitation plans aligned with medical consultants' recommendations.
Massage Therapy
Specialist massage treatments address muscular tension and promote relaxation through sports, remedial, and holistic techniques. Our therapists combine deep tissue work with therapies like hot stone and Indian head massage to alleviate stress-related pain and enhance circulation for both athletes and general patients.
Sports Injury Treatment
Targeted interventions for sports-related injuries include biomechanical assessment, sport-specific rehabilitation, and return-to-play protocols. Working closely with local clubs, we employ evidence-based practices to accelerate recovery from sprains, strains, and overuse injuries while preventing recurrence through tailored conditioning programmes.
Men's Pelvic Health
Specialist physiotherapy addresses pelvic floor dysfunction, including urinary urgency and post-prostatectomy rehabilitation. Through internal and external assessments, we develop individualised programmes combining manual therapy, bladder retraining, and lifestyle modifications to improve quality of life for male patients.
Menopause Support
Physiotherapy interventions address musculoskeletal changes during menopause, including joint pain and reduced mobility. Our approach combines strength training, posture correction, and manual therapy to manage symptoms while promoting overall physical wellbeing through this transitional life stage.

I wouldnt hesitate to recommend Nick to my my clients. He has helped me enormously with a shoulder problem. As both a qualified physio and Pilates teacher I find him to be a very knowledgable and effective clinician.
