Services

Physiotherapy

Our physiotherapy services address musculoskeletal conditions through hands-on treatment and exercise programs. We assess movement patterns using video analysis and create tailored rehabilitation plans. Treatments combine manual therapy with evidence-based techniques to accelerate recovery from injuries and manage chronic pain effectively.

Shockwave Therapy

Specialist shockwave therapy delivers targeted acoustic waves to accelerate tissue repair and reduce pain. This non-invasive treatment effectively addresses chronic conditions like plantar fasciitis and tennis elbow. Our certified therapists use this advanced technology to stimulate healing in musculoskeletal tissues.

Pelvic Health

Women's health physiotherapy specialises in pelvic floor dysfunction treatment. We address issues including urinary incontinence and postnatal recovery through individualised assessment and exercise programs. Treatment combines education with specific pelvic floor exercises and lifestyle modifications for long-term improvement.

Sports Massage

Deep tissue sports massage targets muscle tension and injuries through advanced soft tissue techniques. This treatment improves flexibility, aids recovery from sports injuries, and prevents future musculoskeletal problems. Sessions include postural analysis and stretching advice.

Pilates

Clinical pilates classes focus on core stability and postural control for injury prevention and rehabilitation. Our physiotherapists adapt exercises to individual needs, using mat-based and equipment-supported movements. This improves body awareness, enhances movement patterns, and strengthens stabilising muscles.

After the first visit with Cat I felt confident in her diagnosis. Videoing me on treadmill to help identify the root cause of my problem and giving me specific exercises to strengthen weaknesses. Her hands on approach really helped release some muscles that overtime had been so tight they where causing a lot of pain. Massive relief to finally feel pain free. Thank you!

Excellent Physio here. Catherine Hughes was able to pinpoint the problem and give me exercises that really helped. Everyone here is always helpful and cheerful. I would recommend this practice to anyone.

I have been having problems with my feet since 2016. Decided to try a private physio to see if they could help. After my assessment with Cat, she contacted my GP and arranged for an x-ray and blood tests. It turns out I have gout and tendon problems. Cat has given me exercises to help with the tendon problems and the GP is helping with the gout. Cat was a great help and everyone there is very friendly. Highly recommended.

Thank you so much more the virtual session today. My daughter is feeling much more positive that she will be running again soon.C Hughes was knowledgeable and thorough whilst remaining patient, gentle understanding and friendly. She has a personal set of activities that have been emailed across so she can work on at home . Can't recommend highly enough. Thank you so much.
