Services
Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy treatment corrects postural and movement issues causing injury or damage. We use joint mobilisations, massage, exercises, and dry needling to speed recovery from ligament sprains, muscle strains, and chronic pain. Our approach combines hands-on treatment with tailored exercise programs to restore muscle control and strength, reducing symptom recurrence. Each session includes 30 minutes of direct treatment plus 15-30 minutes of exercises or electrotherapy.
Sports Physiotherapy
Specialised treatment for sports-related injuries combines biomechanical assessment with sport-specific rehabilitation. We use video analysis and EMG biofeedback to identify movement imbalances, then implement targeted exercises, joint mobilisations, and strapping techniques. Our approach addresses acute injuries and prevents recurrence through technique correction and progressive rehabilitation programs tailored to athletes' specific sports demands.
Dry Needling
Dry Needling releases myofascial trigger points using acupuncture needles to reduce pain and accelerate healing. Our senior physiotherapist employs this technique to treat chronic back pain, headaches, and sports injuries by stimulating blood flow and activating the body's natural pain-relief mechanisms. This evidence-based treatment addresses muscle knots caused by overuse, trauma, or poor posture, with sessions integrated into broader rehabilitation programs.
Rehabilitation
Custom rehabilitation programs address post-injury or post-surgical recovery needs through progressive exercise prescriptions. We develop individualised plans considering orthopaedic injuries, neurological conditions, or chronic pain, combining gym-based and home exercises. Our approach integrates current research findings with patient preferences to ensure program adherence and functional improvement while preventing secondary injuries.
Biomechanical Running Analysis
Using Dartfish software, we analyse running technique through video capture and motion analysis. This assessment identifies biomechanical inefficiencies contributing to injury risk, measuring cadence, angles, and movement patterns. We provide targeted technique modifications to improve performance and prevent recurring injuries, benefiting both recreational runners and competitive athletes seeking to enhance efficiency and reduce injury rates.
