Most patients are unsure as to the cause of their pain and what treatment they require – this is what we will tell you. With every patient, we carry out a complete assessment of the injury or problem, designed to understand the cause first and then the program of corrective treatment and preventative measures.

As a patient, whether you need a couple of sessions or an extensive rehabilitation program, our team of highly qualified physiotherapists will tailor a course of treatment specific to you. This will consist of a combination of hands-on treatment, electrotherapy, hydro / gym and therapeutic exercises.

We will teach you the exercise programs and pain prevention techniques which you will undertake at home / pool / gym or work designed to allow you to take control of your condition, speed up your recovery and, most importantly, prevent any re-occurrence.

We understand the implications of not getting the correct treatment for an injury and will always refer you to our network of other healthcare professionals and specialists if need be.
