Services
Physiotherapy
Our physiotherapy services address musculoskeletal injuries, chronic pain, and post-surgical rehabilitation. Using hands-on techniques and tailored exercise programs, we help patients restore mobility and prevent future injuries. Our university-qualified physiotherapists treat conditions ranging from sports injuries to workplace strains, ensuring evidence-based care for all patients.
Fracture Clinic
Specialised fracture management for non-complicated breaks, including diagnosis, immobilisation, and rehabilitation. We provide same-day appointments with X-ray referrals and custom orthosis fitting. Our physiotherapists guide patients through recovery phases, ensuring proper healing and functional restoration while minimising downtime.
Shockwave Therapy
Non-invasive shockwave therapy accelerates healing for chronic pain conditions like tendonitis and plantar fasciitis. This technology stimulates tissue regeneration and improves blood circulation without surgery or medication. Most patients experience relief within 3-8 sessions, making it ideal for athletes and active individuals.
Cupping Therapy
Traditional cupping techniques relieve muscle tension, improve circulation, and aid recovery from sports injuries. By creating therapeutic suction, this modality addresses chronic pain, postural imbalances, and soft tissue restrictions. Sessions integrate with physiotherapy plans to enhance rehabilitation outcomes.
Pilates Rehab
Pilates-based rehabilitation combines core stability training with functional movements to restore mobility and prevent re-injury. Led by physiotherapists, sessions focus on posture correction, joint stability, and strength development. Programs adapt to individual needs, supporting recovery from back pain, pregnancy-related issues, and neurological conditions.
