We offer a detailed musculoskeletal assessment to help diagnose and guide our treatment planning. This process involves evaluation of muscle power and tone, analysis of joint range and quality of movement, and assessment of any potential neurological factors. We also carry out a visual assessment of posture in stance and during gait.
If you're a runner and want to recover from training and races more quickly, why not treat yourself to our Runners recovery package? We offer percussive therapy and neuromuscular electronic stimulation which are known to benefit DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness). We also use myofascial decompression - also known as cupping to benefit your recovery and return to activity. If you would like to treat yourself or a friend to a pre or post race treatment, get in touch.
We offer a detailed gait analysis service, where we get you out into real world and use slow motion image capture to assess your running mechanics. This helps us to formulate a plan to improve the efficiency of your running technique and address any pathomechanical features of your gait which make you more prone to injury
Heel pain is common, with published studies suggesting that nearly 10% of people over 50 experience pain in the plantar aspect (underside) of the heel. Heel pain has also been found to affect around 10% of runners. Plantar heel pain can prove challenging to manage, despite its prevalence. We have many years' experience in the assessment and management of heel pain and have developed a "tool box" of treatments to empower you to improve your symptoms

A clear, well-thought-out programme to strengthen and stretch muscles and soft tissues can be the bed rock of a successful rehabilitation process. We're delighted to be able to send you exercise programs via the Physiotools App to give you clear guidance on how to carry out these exercises and keep you on track to achieve consistent therapeutic gains.
Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) can be useful for muscle strengthening and selective muscle retraining. It can be valuable in the rehabilitation of ankle sprains and is particularly helpful in activating intrinsic foot muscles (smaller foot muscles in the foot), which play an important role in foot posture.
Insoles and foot orthoses can be utilised in the management of a wide range of conditions, affecting not only the foot and ankle, but also higher up the kinetic chain, such as the knees, hips and back. We are able to offer a variety of off-the-shelf insoles and custom orthoses to assist you in the management of your health. We are able to use 3-D scanning equipment to create an accurate measurement of your foot,which can then be used to create cutting edge 3-D printed insoles, or milled insoles.
We offer a skin and nail clinic for the treatment of corns, calluses and verrucas. We can also help you in the management of nail conditions such as ingrowing toenails and fungal nail infections.
