Conditions we treat
We assess and treat a wide range of musculoskeletal injuries and concerns using evidence-based physiotherapy techniques. Common issues include back, shoulder, and neck pain (disc trouble, postural strain, facet joint dysfunction) and sports injuries. Our physiotherapists also help to manage ACL tears, ankle sprains, tendonitis, and overuse problems that limit both performance and everyday ability.
For post-surgical rehabilitation of the shoulder, hip, knee, or spine, we develop structured and progressive programmes to achieve a safe and steady recovery. Chronic pain plans incorporate knowledge sharing, pacing, and active movement.
Custom care for your needs
- Sports Injury Physio– Movement screening, load management, and an onsite gym help facilitate a quick return to play and enhance performance while preventing repeat injuries.
- Office & Remote Workers – Ergonomic coaching, manual therapy, and active-break routines ease neck, back, and shoulder tension, boosting comfort and productivity.
- Older Adults – Gentle strength, balance, and mobility training to maintain independence and reduce falls.
- Postnatal & Women’s Health – Pelvic floor therapy, core rehab, and return-to-movement plans tailored to each stage from postpartum through menopause.
- Foundation Youth Development Team – Young athletes rebuild strength and confidence through safe, performance-focused rehab that turns injury recovery into a stronger comeback.
Each session is tailored to suit your recovery stage, goals, and lifestyle, allowing you to move well and live fully.

What to expect at your appointment
Your first appointment includes a full history, movement analysis, and focused tests to pinpoint the issue. We then set clear goals and start treatment immediately—manual therapy, mobilisation, or dry needling to ease pain, followed by tailored exercises for home practice. You’ll leave with a personalised treatment plan and access to video demos, ensuring your healing journey stays on track between visits.
Initial appointments last 45 minutes, and follow-up sessions are typically 30 minutes. Most recovery plans involve 4–8 visits, scheduled to coincide with the various stages of the healing process.
