What can we help you with?
Our Physiotherapists treat a wide variety of Musculo-Skeletal (MSK) conditions– this means pain, illness or injury that affects the muscles, joints, nerves and connective tissues. We are also trained to identify when a problem is being caused by a medical condition that needs help from a different specialist.
Common conditions that we see in the clinic are:
Running Assessments
Our running assessment service now includes Runeasi technology, alongside video analysis and tests for muscle strength and flexibility. The data collected is used to create a bespoke training plan, including advice on footwear and strength and conditioning goals. We offer running assessments for runners of all abilities as well as athletes from running based sports like rugby and football. This service is great for those looking to improve their running performance, athletes returning to their sport following injury, or those looking to prevent injury.
