What we treat
Hands-on treatment, backed by a plan
Every patient leaves their first session knowing three things: what's wrong, how long it should take, and exactly what to do between appointments.
Sports injury rehab
Sprains, strains and tendinopathy treated with a structured return-to-sport plan — including the strength work most clinics skip.
Post-surgery rehab
Knee, hip and shoulder rehab that follows your consultant's protocol, with progress notes shared back to them at each stage.
Running assessments
Video gait analysis on the treadmill, strength testing and a personalised plan — popular before marathon training blocks.
Shockwave therapy
Evidence-based treatment for stubborn tendon problems — plantar fasciitis, Achilles and tennis elbow that haven't shifted with rest.
Pilates classes
Small-group clinical Pilates taught by physiotherapists, with no more than six people per class. Ideal after your rehab finishes.
Your first appointment
What happens when you come in
Forty-five minutes with a chartered physiotherapist. No production line, no surprise costs.

Tell us the story
We listen first — when it started, what makes it worse, what you need to get back to. The history usually holds the answer.
2
Full assessment
Movement testing, strength testing and a clear, jargon-free diagnosis. If you need a scan or a GP instead, we'll say so.

Treatment starts today

Reviews
Patients who got back to it
★★★★★
“Six weeks after my ACL operation I was terrified to bend my knee. Calum's plan was week-by-week, and at month nine I did a parkrun. The progress charts kept me sane.”Fiona M. Morningside — post-surgery rehab
★★★★★
“Two years of plantar fasciitis, gone after a course of shockwave and a proper strengthening plan. I'd wasted a fortune on insoles before someone finally explained what was actually going on.”Robert J. Leith — shockwave therapy
★★★★★
“Booked online on Sunday night, seen on Tuesday lunchtime. My back spasm was treated, explained and managed without a single bit of scaremongering. The exercise app is genuinely useful.”Priyanka N. Corstorphine — acute back pain
