Very efficient staff. My back pain treatment through physiotherapy was 100 percent successful within 3 weeks after having endured this disability for decades. My physiotherapist was clear in his explanations and diagnosis and there was total professionalism which gave me confidence in getting better. Physiotherapy was followed by weekly pilates which is conducted in small groups with a high degree of care and attention. Thank you.

FAQs

My knee gives way, is this something to be concerned about?

If your knee is giving way regularly, it is definitely worth having an assessment. The knee can give way because of muscle weakness, but it can also be a sign of ligament damage in the knee. We can carry out a full assessment and if we think it’s necessary, refer you for further specialist investigations.
