Services
Physiotherapy
Our physiotherapy services combine manual techniques with exercise-based rehabilitation to address musculoskeletal conditions. We treat back pain, sports injuries, and post-surgery recovery cases using evidence-based approaches. Each treatment plan incorporates patient-specific goals to restore mobility and prevent future injuries through tailored exercise programmes.
Sports Rehabilitation
Specialised sports rehabilitation focuses on returning athletes to peak performance after injury. We develop sport-specific recovery plans incorporating strength training, movement analysis, and injury prevention strategies. Our physiotherapists have experience working with professional athletes across multiple disciplines including rugby, football, and martial arts.
Dry Needling
Dry needling techniques target muscle trigger points to relieve pain and improve mobility. This evidence-based intervention complements manual therapy and exercise prescription. Our practitioners use sterile needles following strict safety protocols to address chronic muscle tension and sports-related injuries.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture services integrate traditional Chinese medicine principles with modern physiotherapy practice. We use fine needles to stimulate specific points for pain management and recovery enhancement. This treatment modality follows established safety guidelines and is delivered by qualified physiotherapists with specialist training.
Myofascial Release
Myofascial release techniques address connective tissue restrictions causing pain and limited mobility. Our practitioners use sustained pressure and stretching to improve fascial mobility. This hands-on approach effectively treats chronic pain conditions and complements other rehabilitation strategies.

Very professional staff you are advised to sanitize your hands on the way in and all equipment is throughly cleaned between clients. The treatment they provide is second to none and the staff put you at ease right away and work hard to solve your problem i would definitely recommend Impact Health Physiotherapy.

I attended Impact a number couple of months ago with a wrist issue caused by playing sports. The issue was identified and treated swiftly. It is now completely gone and I can't give the guys here enough credit.

Excellent care and attention giving to my particular issue. Mark was so quick to respond with an easy to understand rehabilitation program, which I felt the benefits of straight away.

My son had a serious knee injury in October 2018. I took him to Mark at Impact Physio and his recovery has been fantastic to say the least. My Son is now back playing regular football. During the treatment the support from Mark was brilliant. His motivation and training schedules were demanding and his standards were high and exacting. He was approachable at all times and took a vested interest in my Sons recovery, from start to finish. Mark is a genuinely lovely person and I would recommend him to anyone.

Mark was polite,friendly and very knowledgeable. He was quick to diagnose and treat an issue with my shoulder. The studio was clean and tidy. A real 5 star service. I hope I don't need a physio again but if I do then Mark is the only person I will call. Thank you.
