Services
Physiotherapy
Our physiotherapy services address musculoskeletal conditions, sports injuries, and chronic pain through hands-on manual therapy and tailored exercise programmes. Using advanced techniques like TECAR therapy and shockwave therapy, we accelerate recovery while focusing on long-term mobility improvements. Patients benefit from one-on-one sessions with Chartered Physiotherapists who develop personalised treatment plans aligned with individual health goals.
Shockwave Therapy
Focused shockwave therapy treats musculoskeletal conditions like plantar fasciitis and tendonitis by stimulating natural healing processes. This non-invasive treatment delivers high-energy acoustic waves to injured areas, reducing pain and promoting tissue regeneration. Typically requiring 3-5 sessions, it offers rapid relief for chronic conditions resistant to conventional therapies while avoiding surgical intervention.
Postnatal Rehabilitation
Specialised postnatal rehabilitation supports recovery after childbirth through pelvic floor assessments and core stability exercises. Our physiotherapists address diastasis recti, incontinence, and postural imbalances using gentle manual techniques and progressive exercise programmes. Sessions focus on restoring strength, mobility, and confidence while accommodating new parents' schedules with flexible appointment times.
Sports Performance
Sports performance programmes combine biomechanical analysis with strength and conditioning to enhance athletic capabilities. Using Alter G treadmills for low-impact training and 3D posture analysis, we optimise movement patterns while preventing injuries. Personalised coaching integrates sport-specific drills with recovery strategies to maximise performance across amateur and professional athletes.
3D Posture Analysis
Advanced 3D posture analysis identifies biomechanical imbalances through motion-capture technology and pressure mapping. This diagnostic tool assesses static and dynamic alignment to inform custom orthotic prescriptions and corrective exercise programmes. By pinpointing postural deviations, we address underlying causes of chronic pain and improve movement efficiency for both athletes and sedentary individuals.

Very professional approach with a thorough assessment covering all bases. Bridgette was empathetic and asked many questions, checking my level of comfort at every point. She recommended some exercises and was very encouraging throughout! I will return for some more sessions with her.

Angela understands my body and I am always confident in her knowledge. She is unique in that I have no doubt she knows what she is talking about and her years of experience are clear in the way she chooses to work with and on you.

Took time to really determine her cause and impact of the issue before jumping in with solution mode. Fully understood my sons injury and built up a good relationship with him prior to working on the area and offered excellent advice

So impressed both with the entire set up & the wonderful physio I visited. Everything has been so well considered to make patients feel safe - thank you. Waiting in the car with the texting check in service is such a good idea. Nae was excellent. I felt really listened to. She was sympathetic and offered practical and realistic suggestions. I was really impressed with the fact a treatment plan was compiled and sent to me by the end of the session. The receptionist was so friendly and helped me to book in all my future appointments. I am looking forward to my next visit and have already recommended
