What conditions does musculoskeletal physiotherapy treat?

Our musculoskeletal physiotherapy service helps with a wide range of joint, muscle, tendon and ligament problems. This includes sports injuries, back and neck pain, tennis elbow, post-operative rehabilitation, workplace injuries, and everyday aches and pains. Whether you're an athlete or just want to move better day-to-day, we build a rehab plan around your specific needs. Techniques may include manual therapy, dry needling, cupping, and strapping.

What happens at my first physio appointment?

Your initial appointment is 40 minutes long. In that time, your physiotherapist will do a thorough assessment, explain what they find, discuss your diagnosis, provide hands-on treatment, and put together a personalised rehabilitation plan to guide your recovery. Follow-up appointments are 30 minutes and focus on reassessment and ongoing treatment. You'll always leave knowing what's going on with your body and what the next steps are.
