Our philosophy is simple: The right diagnosis, first time, every time!
It is our belief that if the diagnosis is correct, then naturally the treatment will be directed at the cause of your symptoms, rather than just treating the symptoms.
We aim to provide a service that exudes excellence and we believe in an honest approach. As such you will always get the truth about your diagnosis, symptoms and prognosis and will be provided with a high quality treatment and rehabilitation plan to get you back on track.

- Manual Therapy
- Sports Massage
- Acupuncture
- Electro-Acupuncture
- Ultrasound

- Sports Rehabilitation
- Post-Operative Rehabilitation

- Shockwave Therapy (£10 surcharge per session)
Post-Operative Care
We offer post-operative care including restoring you range of movement, strengthening up your muscles around the area and can go all the way through to returning to sport.
We can also offer a unique return to play service where we link in with UKSCA accredited Strength and Conditioning coaches who will take you through the final stages of the rehabilitation and get you game ready.
*NEW* Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy is a new treatment technique for tendon injuries and enhances tendon healing by using high powered pressure waves which interact with the tendon tissue cells and promoting advantageous tissue changes.

- Tennis Elbow/Golfers Elbow

- Patella Tendinopathy
- Plantar Fasciitis/Heel Pain
- Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy
- Calcific Tendinopathy
