Our Specialities

Treatments Built Around You

Each service is delivered with clinical precision and genuine care.

Sports Physiotherapy

Sports Physiotherapy

Sports Physiotherapy is a specialised service focused on the prevention, assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation of sports- and exercise-related injuries. Whether you are a professional athlete, a recreational runner, or simply lead an active lifestyle, our evidence-based approach is designed to restore function, optimise performance, and reduce the risk of future injury.


Through comprehensive assessment, hands-on treatment, targeted rehabilitation, and performance-focused exercise programming, we address the underlying causes of pain and dysfunction rather than simply managing symptoms. Every treatment plan is tailored to the individual's sport, goals, and physical demands, helping clients return to activity safely, confidently, and at their highest potential.
Manual Therapy

Manual Therapy

Manual Therapy is a hands-on treatment approach used to assess and address pain, stiffness, movement restrictions, and musculoskeletal dysfunction. Through skilled techniques such as joint mobilisation, soft tissue release, muscle energy techniques, and movement-based interventions, our physiotherapists help restore mobility, reduce pain, and improve overall function.


Manual Therapy is integrated within a comprehensive treatment plan and combined with targeted exercise and rehabilitation strategies to achieve lasting results. By addressing the underlying causes of dysfunction, we help clients move more freely, recover more effectively, and return to the activities they enjoy with greater confidence and comfort.
Orthopaedic Rehabilitation

Orthopaedic Rehabilitation

Orthopaedic Rehabilitation is a specialised physiotherapy service designed to support recovery from musculoskeletal injuries, orthopaedic conditions, and surgical procedures. Whether recovering from a fracture, ligament injury, joint replacement, tendon repair, or chronic orthopaedic condition, our evidence-based rehabilitation programmes are tailored to restore strength, mobility, function, and confidence.


Through comprehensive assessment, progressive exercise prescription, hands-on treatment, and personalised recovery planning, we guide clients through every stage of rehabilitation. Our goal is not only to facilitate healing but also to optimise movement, prevent future injury, and help individuals return safely and efficiently to their daily activities, work, and sport.

Strapping

Strapping

Strapping and Taping is a supportive treatment technique used to protect injured tissues, enhance joint stability, reduce pain, and facilitate optimal movement during recovery and activity. Whether managing an acute injury, returning to sport, or seeking additional support during exercise, our physiotherapists apply evidence-based taping methods tailored to the individual's needs and goals.


Using a range of techniques, including rigid sports taping and kinesiology taping, we can help offload stressed structures, improve movement awareness, support rehabilitation, and reduce the risk of re-injury. Strapping and taping is often used alongside physiotherapy treatment and exercise rehabilitation to promote safe, effective recovery and performance.
Dry Needling

Dry Needling

Dry Needling is a specialised treatment technique used to relieve muscle tension, reduce pain, and improve movement by targeting myofascial trigger points and areas of muscular dysfunction. Using fine, sterile needles, our trained physiotherapists treat tight or overactive muscles to help restore normal muscle function and support the body's natural healing processes.


Dry Needling can be effective in the management of acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions, sports injuries, headaches, and movement-related pain. As part of a comprehensive physiotherapy approach, it is combined with hands-on treatment, exercise rehabilitation, and movement education to achieve lasting improvements in pain, mobility, and performance.
Home Visits

Home Visits

Our Home Visit Physiotherapy service brings expert care directly to you, providing the same high standard of assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation in the comfort and convenience of your own home. This service is ideal for individuals recovering from surgery or injury, those with mobility limitations, older adults, or anyone who prefers personalised care in a familiar environment.


Our physiotherapists conduct comprehensive assessments and develop tailored treatment plans to address pain, improve mobility, restore function, and support independence. By delivering treatment within your everyday environment, we can provide practical, goal-orientated rehabilitation that is relevant to your daily activities and designed to help you achieve meaningful, lasting results.

"I went to several different physios for post-partum recovery and so happy I finally found Hester. She expertly isolated the muscle groups that were at the root of the pain issue. She has a deep understanding of how everything in the body is linked and how to use specific exercises to strengthen and rehabilitate. I felt so much better after each session with Hester. I'm incredibly grateful for how much she invested in my recovery journey! She's a gem. Great sense of humor too."

"Feb 26
After a severe dislocation of my right shoulder that tore my supraspinatus infraspinatus and labrum, both Hester and Martine have provided excellent physio helping me to extend movement and build strength in my arm and shoulder. Always up to date on the latest treatments and approaches as well as being as brutal as they can be without risking setting you back.

Martine is great, she's a trail runner herself and understands that getting back to exercise quickly is an imperative and will work with you to achieve your goals. One of the best I've been to and being an idiot means I have seen a lot! Thanks for sorting my hip and knee!"
