What our patients say

How it works

Injury assessment & treatment

During your first visit to the injury clinic, we will conduct a thorough assessment of your condition. This process begins with a detailed discussion about how, when, and where the injury occurred. By understanding your injury history, lifestyle, and any relevant medical background, we can identify any potential predisposing factors.

Following this, a comprehensive hands-on evaluation of the injury will take place. Once the assessment is complete, we’ll discuss our findings with you and develop a personalized treatment plan. This plan will likely include hands-on therapy as well as exercise-based rehabilitation, all aimed at helping you return to full strength and resume your daily activities confidently.

Follow up assessment and treatment

Follow up sessions will include a brief discussion of the developments since your first visit and then followed with treatment and development of your rehab programme.

Massage

Massage is used for general relaxation, enhancing circulation, manual stretching and mobilisation, and addressing specific issues such as scarring, muscle spasms, and edema. It can be incorporated into your injury treatment plan or used as a standalone "maintenance" therapy, even if you don't have any current injury concerns.

Exercise programme

Our team of exercise professionals can create and implement tailored plans to help you achieve your fitness goals, whether alongside your injury rehabilitation or as standalone programs to improve your strength, cardiovascular fitness, or athletic performance.
