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. Hands-on techniques may include manual therapy, dry needling, cupping, and strapping. Find out more on our services and our conditions we treat pages.
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 exercise and 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.

Pelvic health physiotherapy helps people manage issues related to the pelvic floor and surrounding areas. Our physiotherapist sees clients of all genders and can help with bladder or bowel leakage, pelvic organ prolapse, pelvic pain, sexual discomfort, pregnancy-related pain, and post-birth injuries. You do not have to put up with these problems — effective, respectful treatment is available. No GP referral is required to book. Find out more on our Pelvic Health services page.
