General Physiotherapy
Our General Physiotherapy Division addresses musculoskeletal injuries ranging from acute trauma to chronic conditions. We treat lower back pain, neck complaints, shoulder injuries, and joint issues using manual therapy, exercise rehabilitation, and evidence-based techniques. Patients receive personalized treatment plans focusing on pain relief, mobility restoration, and long-term injury prevention through one-on-one sessions and supervised clinical exercise classes.
Sports Physiotherapy
Specialized sports physiotherapy services cater to athletes across all levels, from weekend warriors to professional teams. We provide sport-specific rehabilitation programs, biomechanical assessments, and injury prevention strategies. Our physiotherapists work closely with national sporting teams and local clubs to ensure safe return-to-play protocols, focusing on shoulder, knee, and ankle injuries common in football, rugby, and other high-impact sports.
Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
Post-operative care follows surgeon-specific protocols for optimal recovery after procedures like joint replacements, ACL reconstructions, and spinal surgeries. Our physiotherapists collaborate directly with orthopaedic surgeons to monitor progress and implement progressive rehabilitation programs. Services include mobility training, strength restoration, and functional retraining to help patients regain independence and return to daily activities.
Pelvic Floor Therapy
Specialized pelvic floor physiotherapy addresses incontinence, pelvic pain, and postnatal recovery. Certified physiotherapists conduct comprehensive assessments to develop individualized retraining programs. Treatment combines manual therapy, biofeedback, and targeted exercises to improve pelvic floor function, with a focus on non-surgical solutions for 40% of women experiencing bladder issues post-30.
Clinical Pilates
Clinical Pilates classes integrate movement therapy with rehabilitation principles to improve core stability, flexibility, and posture. Sessions use reformers, trapeze tables, and resistance equipment under physiotherapist supervision. The program benefits patients recovering from spinal injuries, post-surgery, or seeking enhanced athletic performance through controlled, progressive exercise in small groups limited to four participants.
