chartered & state registered physiotherapists

All our physiotherapists are specialist musculoskeletal Physiotherapists and Registered Members of the Health Professions Council
Our team of highly qualified physiotherapists provide an excellent service to athletes and sports people at all levels, from the recreational to the elite. They also excel at treating those patients with non-sports related problems. We have an onsite cybex testing machine and a gait analysis system which allows the team to provide an accurate diagnosis and advise the most appropriate treatment to help patients onto the fast track to fitness.
Referrals can come from any source - via a GP, a self referral or as part of the patient's post-op recovery, and patients do not need to have health insurance to be seen.
