Most people don’t stop when something hurts — they quietly work around it. You warm up longer, skip the heavy sets, take the stairs slower, and tell yourself it will settle on its own.
It rarely does. Pain that keeps coming back is usually a sign that something underneath hasn’t been addressed: how you load the joint, how strong the surrounding muscles are, and how much capacity you have for the things you actually want to do.
A clear, three-stage process so you always know what you’re doing and why.
A full one-to-one assessment — history, movement testing and strength screening — to find the actual driver of your symptoms rather than treating the sore spot in isolation.
A personalised plan built around your goals, your schedule and the equipment you have access to, explained in plain English with realistic timescales.
Hands-on treatment, progressive loading and ongoing contact with your therapist between sessions, until you trust your body under load again.
Every service starts with the same assessment-led foundation.
Structured rehabilitation for strains, sprains, tendon pain and overuse injuries — from the acute stage through to full-load training.
Book ThisA full-length appointment dedicated to working out what is actually going on, with a clear explanation and a plan you leave with.
Book ThisCriteria-based progressions and objective testing so you go back to your sport when you’re ready — not when the calendar says so.
Book ThisGuided strength and mobility work to hold on to your progress, reduce flare-ups and keep moving well long after rehab finishes.
Book ThisNo. You can book directly as a self-referring patient. If anything found during your assessment needs a GP or specialist opinion, that will be explained clearly and you’ll be pointed in the right direction.
A conversation about your history and goals, then movement and strength testing to identify what is driving your symptoms. You’ll usually start treatment the same session and leave with a clear plan and realistic timescales.
Not at all. Sports rehabilitation is a big part of the work, but most people come in with everyday aches and stiffness — backs, necks, knees, shoulders and hips — that are getting in the way of normal life.
Yes. Ongoing direct contact is part of the service. If an exercise doesn’t feel right or something flares up, you can get an answer without waiting for your next appointment.
It depends on the problem and how long it has been there, and you’ll get an honest estimate at your assessment. The goal is always to get you self-sufficient rather than dependent on appointments.
Choose a time that suits you — it takes less than two minutes.
