Physiotherapy is the assessment and treatment of the musculoskeletal (muscles, ligaments and bones) system of our body in the event of pain, stiffness and/or loss of function.
Our expert Physiotherapists are trained to help diagnose and treat many common acute and chronic pain conditions and require a four-year University qualification and many also continue on to Postgraduate studies in their specific area of interest.
We work closely with you to tailor your treatment plan and offer alternative rehabilitation techniques for the best results.

An acute sporting injury can often be quite frustrating, and may result in missed training and game time. However with timely and appropriate physiotherapy management, you will be able to return to sport sooner and decrease the likelihood of injuring the area again.
All our physiotherapists are skilled in diagnosing the cause of sporting injuries, and can advise you on the most appropriate exercises for your particular injuries and when best to return to sport.

Exercise rehabilitation is an important part of the treatment for many conditions. This includes the spectrum of people from an athlete with a shoulder impingement problem, to a new mum with lower back pain.
Exercise rehabilitation is also used effectively in helping injured workers return to the workforce, people suffering from arthritis and people recovering from orthopedic and even general surgery.
All of our physiotherapists are skilled in accurate diagnosis and appropriate prescription of therapeutic exercise.
Women’s health is a specialised area of physiotherapy that focuses on issues including:
We can offer Real Time Ultrasound Imaging which can non-invasively assess the pelvic floor muscles and allow you to actually see your muscles in action.
The correct performance of these exercises is so important and actually seeing it will allow your physiotherapist to modify the way you are doing your exercises as required.
Dry Needling is the use of very thin pins, which are pushed through the skin in order to stimulate trigger points in muscles. Dry needling can be effective in releasing pain when dealing with painful muscle spasms, muscle tightness and soft tissue restriction.
Most of our Physiotherapists have had advanced training in Dry Needling. Dry Needling is used alongside Physiotherapy treatment and can be useful in both acute and chronic conditions.
Long been used for imaging babies in utero, and other medical investigations, ultrasound imaging is now being used by trained Physiotherapists in the management of pelvic floor dysfunction and lower back and pelvic pain.
In chronic low back pain, there is scientific evidence that specific retraining of the deep stabilising muscles of the trunk and pelvic can reduce the risk of recurrence of low back pain. However, as these muscles lie deep within the abdomen, many people find it difficult to activate them correctly.
Similarly, the pelvic floor musculature is a region where many people find it difficult to visualise and “feel” the correct contraction. There is significant research evidence to support retraining of these muscles in the management of symptoms such as bladder leakage and prolapse issues.
Hydrotherapy is exercise in water. The pool used by our Physiotherapists and patients is heated to allow improved circulation and flexibility of soft tissues as the patient exercises.
The buoyancy of the water helps to reduce the load on damaged or healing joints and tissues, allowing your body to recover easily.
Hydrotherapy is very beneficial for post-surgery rehabilitation and osteoarthritic conditions where sometimes land-based exercise programmes are too painful or limited.
