Services
Physiotherapy
Our physiotherapists deliver evidence-based treatments for pain relief and mobility restoration. Specialising in post-injury recovery, chronic condition management, and sports rehabilitation, we combine manual therapy with tailored exercise programs. Patients benefit from individualised care plans addressing biomechanical imbalances and promoting long-term wellness through education and preventive strategies.
SCENAR Therapy
This biofeedback technology stimulates the body's self-healing mechanisms using electrical impulses. Effective for chronic pain, sports injuries, and neurological conditions, SCENAR Therapy enables early intervention and faster recovery. Our certified practitioners integrate it with physiotherapy to enhance tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and restore normal function where conventional treatments may fall short.
Computerised Orthotics
3D pressure pad technology identifies foot posture abnormalities affecting knees, hips, and spine. Custom orthotics are designed to correct imbalances, alleviate joint strain, and improve biomechanical efficiency. Patients receive footwear advice and gait retraining to ensure optimal alignment and comfort during daily activities and sports performance.
Dry Needling
Targeting myofascial trigger points, this technique reduces muscle tightness and improves range of motion. By stimulating local biochemical responses, dry needling accelerates healing in acute and chronic injuries. Combined with physiotherapy, it addresses conditions like tendonitis, headaches, and postural pain with measurable improvements in mobility and pain reduction.
Exercise Classes
Small-group sessions focus on strength, stability, and mobility for injury prevention and recovery. GLA:D programs address osteoarthritis, while seniors' classes enhance balance and independence. Pilates MasterClasses improve core control and movement patterns. All programs are physiotherapist-led, with pre-assessments ensuring safe, individualised participation and progression.
