Our Expertise

All our physiotherapists are Chartered and state registered. We have a thorough
understanding of human movement and the conditions that can affect this. We can provide you with help, advice and treatment to reduce pain, increase movement and restore function.

We have individual treatment rooms and a gym. All patient receive an individual
assessment. Treatment may consist of an individualised treatment plan and other
therapeutic techniques. We also have a number of classes, including a back
rehabilitation class, a lower limb class, a shoulder class and a knee class for
osteoarthritis.

These classes include exercise, education and advice. These classes enable
patients to restore function and increase their confidence in participating in exercise. We can refer on to other services such as orthotics, podiatry and hydrotherapy when appropriate and advise your GP if we think onward referral to a specialist is required.
