From Assessment to recovery
Initial Assessment

Your first session is all about getting to know you, your body, and your goals. We’ll take a detailed history, assess your movement, and carry out any relevant tests to identify the cause of your symptoms. This thorough understanding forms the foundation for a treatment plan that’s specific to you, focused on reducing pain, restoring movement, and building long-term resilience.

Importantly, treatment will also begin during this initial session, so you leave with a clear plan and immediate support to start your recovery from day one.

Follow-up sessions build on your initial assessment. These appointments are designed to treat, monitor progress, and adjust your plan as you improve. Whether you’re recovering quickly or need a bit more time and support, we’ll work with you to keep things on track and ensure you’re always moving forward.

We understand how frustrating it can be to be sidelined from the things you love. Whether it’s sport, work, hobbies, or simply day-to-day life, we’ll help you return with confidence and control. Our phased approach to rehabilitation ensures that you don’t just feel better, but that you’re ready to perform at your best and reduce the risk of setbacks.

Recovery isn’t the end of the journey. Once you’re back on track, we’ll help you stay there. With tailored advice, exercises, and occasional check-ins if needed, we’ll support your ongoing health and performance, keeping you strong, mobile, and doing what you enjoy.

Treatment Modalities

Our approach is hands-on, evidence-based, and always tailored to your individual needs. Depending on your condition and goals, your treatment may include:

Hands-on Treatment

Manual therapy techniques including joint mobilisations, soft tissue massage, and trigger point therapy to relieve pain, reduce stiffness, and restore normal movement and function.

Shockwave Therapy

A non-invasive treatment for persistent conditions such as tendon pain or plantar fasciitis. Shockwave promotes healing by stimulating blood flow and tissue regeneration.

Kinesio Taping

Supportive and flexible tape applied to reduce pain, offload tissues, and support posture or movement patterns, without restricting mobility.

Exercise Prescription

Targeted rehab exercises to improve strength, flexibility, coordination, and endurance, delivered via an easy-to-follow program that fits into your lifestyle. We use RehabGuru, a professional digital platform, to provide you with clear video-guided exercise plans accessible anytime. Exercise plays a vital role in reducing pain, restoring movement, and building long-term resilience, helping you return to activity with confidence.

Advice and Education

Understanding your injury or condition is key. We’ll explain what’s going on in plain English and help you make informed decisions about your recovery and long-term health.
