Physiotherapy
Our physiotherapists diagnose and treat musculoskeletal conditions through hands-on manual therapy and corrective exercises. We address neck pain, back pain, joint issues, and sports injuries using evidence-based techniques. Patients receive one-hour initial consultations to identify root causes and develop personalised recovery plans.
Pilates Classes
Small-group Pilates sessions focus on core strength, flexibility, and movement control under physiotherapist supervision. Each class includes individualised programs on reformers and functional equipment. Pre-class assessments ensure safe participation and tailored exercise prescription for all ability levels.
Vestibular Physio
Specialised treatment for dizziness, vertigo, and balance disorders using vestibular system assessments and retraining techniques. Conditions like BPPV, Meniere's disease, and post-concussion syndrome are addressed through targeted head movements and gaze stability exercises.
TMJ Treatment
Physiotherapy for temporomandibular joint dysfunction includes manual therapy, muscle release, and acupuncture to alleviate jaw pain. Treatment addresses clicking, locking, and headaches caused by muscle imbalances or joint issues, with immediate symptom improvement techniques.
Running Assessment
Video-based running technique analysis identifies injury risks and performance limitations. Physiotherapists assess footwear, strength, and flexibility to develop retraining programs that prevent injuries like patellofemoral pain while improving running efficiency.
