Our team of specialist physiotherapists design a unique programme for every client. We take the time to understand the true cause of your problem to ensure the right strategies are in place, helping you to regain optimal movement and well-being.


Physiotherapy

We’re experts in movement and function and use a range of different therapies. Your physiotherapist will discuss treatment options with you which are likely to be a combination of the following:

 

Manual therapy

Involves hands-on physiotherapy techniques such as joint mobilisation, soft tissue techniques, trigger point release and manipulation.

FMS Biomechanical Assessment

Our physiotherapists apply biomechanical assessment techniques throughout your treatment journey to identify muscle balance issues and address these.

You can also book a dedicated FMS Biomechanical Assessment. This involves a complete body review to identify over or under-active muscles, address movement patterns that may contribute to the development of injuries, and then help to correct these through an individualised exercise program designed by one of our physiotherapists.

This ensures complete rehabilitation and includes fall prevention, return to gym, functional reactivation and pre & post-surgical recovery.
