A clear path from first visit to full recovery

Every client gets a thorough assessment and a plan built for their goals, whether that is a return to sport or living day to day without pain.

  1. Assessment

    We take a thorough medical history, then assess your injury and how it affects what you do.

  2. Diagnosis

    A clear explanation of the problem, its likely cause and the treatment needed for a full recovery.

  3. Treatment

    Hands-on care in the clinic or the gym, which may include manual therapy, massage, acupuncture or dry needling.

  4. Rehabilitation and training plan

    From a home exercise plan to a full gym programme, then a training plan for a safe return to sport.

What our clients say

Read more reviews

Within two sessions my hip pain was no longer present, and I was able to lift again without pain. Rob also examined my lifting form and quickly fixed flaws in my posture. A few weeks after discharge I am back squatting and deadlifting, feeling stronger than before and, more importantly, pain free.

Kamal RajputHip pain after lifting

I was struggling to walk when I first visited Rob with a long-standing back problem. I have made huge improvements in less than two months. With his professional help I have my life back.

Jan ButcherLong-standing back problem

Thoroughly recommended. Rob has the sports pedigree to back up physical treatment with professional knowledge and practical guidance. He provided the treatment I needed after a severe ankle injury and helped me ask the right questions of my doctors and consultants.
