Services
Physiotherapy
Our physiotherapy services address musculoskeletal injuries, neurological conditions, and sports-related issues through evidence-based treatments. Using manual therapy techniques combined with progressive rehabilitation programs, we focus on identifying and resolving root causes rather than just treating symptoms. With both clinic-based treatment and home visit options available across Hertfordshire, our expert team delivers personalised care plans to restore optimal function and prevent future injuries.
Neurological Rehab
Specialist neurological rehabilitation services treat conditions including stroke, MS, Parkinson's, and cerebral palsy through tailored treatment plans. Our experienced therapists provide both clinic-based care and home visits, focusing on improving mobility, strength, and coordination. Using evidence-based approaches, we work with patients to maximise functional recovery and enhance quality of life through targeted exercises and movement retraining techniques.
Gait Analysis
Comprehensive gait analysis identifies movement pattern issues causing foot and lower limb pain through advanced assessment techniques. Using video treadmill analysis and force plate scanning, we develop targeted treatment plans combining strength training, technique correction, and biomechanical adjustments. This service helps runners, athletes, and everyday patients improve performance while reducing pain and preventing future injuries through evidence-based interventions.
Sports Massage
Specialist sports massage treatments address muscle tension, trigger points, and sports-related injuries using deep tissue techniques. Our physiotherapists provide both relaxation and therapeutic benefits, improving circulation while reducing pain and inflammation. This service benefits athletes, manual workers, and desk-based professionals through tailored sessions that enhance recovery, prevent injuries, and maintain optimal musculoskeletal health.
Personal Training
Tailored personal training programs combine strength conditioning, cardiovascular training, and sports-specific rehabilitation to improve overall fitness and prevent injuries. Our physiotherapists create individualised plans focusing on strength development, flexibility, balance, and functional movement patterns. Whether recovering from injury or aiming for peak performance, our evidence-based approach ensures safe progression towards achieving personal health and fitness goals.

Report
Wonderful little Physio practice. The staff are very thorough, and seem to know what they're talking about. I've seen them for a few issues over the years and the exercises they've given me to do have always helped.

Ive been to Mike Shawe twice with sport-related injuries and am very glad that I did so. He has an in-depth knowledge of his subject and knows how to apply it. He is very patient and positive and gives you useful training programmes to work on and get you going again. I would recommend him and his clinic to anyone.

My daughter and I have used Shawe Physio for shoulder and foot problems, we have been very impressed with their professional approach, care and attention with both injuries, the problems were both diagnosed during first assessment and with ultrasound/massage at time of first appointment also being shown exercises to carry out at home we both found within a few weeks all pain had gone. A big thank you to Michael and his team we will not hesitate to contact you again.
