Physiotherapy has been around for hundreds of years and officially recognised in 1887 in Sweden with other countries quickly following suit. Physiotherapy (also known as Physical Therapy) is a health care profession concerned with human movement and function in order to maximise physical potential.
The definition of nutrition means to feed/nourish and the definition of food means any nutritious substance ingested to maintain health. Within Nutritional Therapy, there is a recognition that given the right circumstances and support the body has an innate ability to heal itself. Through utilising the principles of functional medicine, a nutritional therapist seeks to support the whole body and the underlying causes of symptoms (the root cause).
Gait analysis is a way of identifying potential biomechanical/movement faults when you are walking/running. It is most commonly used when getting a pair of new running shoes, however at Reform we look at the way your entire body moves on and off the treadmill so we can identify whether there are any mechanical restrictions, weaknesses, asymmetries etc that may cause injury or prevent a tissue from healing.
There are a number of physiological and psychological benefits that can be gained from having a Sports massage. The aim of Sports and Remedial massage therapy is to treat the dysfunction in soft tissue (muscle, ligament, tendon) and help to alleviate pain. It is also used for injury prevention and in preparing the body for performance by reducing soft tissue tension and therefore increasing mobility.
There are many different benefits to regularly practicing Pilates. Pilates aims to strengthen the body with a particular focus on core strength and stability. Pilates can also improve general fitness and overall well being. Pilates can be practiced by all people of all ages: the exercises can be adapted to suit all fitness levels and abilities ranging from beginners to athletes, and for those with certain medical conditions.

Very professional and helpful. Took time to understand back problems and undertook complete investigation before recommending treatment and exercises. Would definitely recommend an use again.

I highly recommend Reform Physiotherapy, it is a lovely clinic, and their head physiotherapist Luke is first class.
After months of struggling and limited success with a previous physiotherapist, my consultant referred me to Luke, which was the best things she could have done. Upon my first hands-on consultation, Luke gave me a new rehabilitation programme, with additional links to easy to follow videos to help me remember and correctly complete my programme.
Upon a relapse due to overdoing things in life, Luke went above and beyond, immediately calling me back, giving me an impromptu video consultation

Luke is a really nice enthusiastic energetic guy. Equally important for me he is very knowledgeable and can really go into the science behind his diagnosis and interventions.

Luke is nothing short of a miracle worker. I'm very good at breaking bits of myself and every time Luke's treatment and rehab has got me out of pain and fully recovered. (He's also a really nice guy)

Luke is excellent, he is extremely thorough, knowledgable, approachable and positively reassuring. I even left being able to touch my toes which is a first for me! I look forward to what's to come and physically feeling 27 again not 87! Get booked up if you need a physio, you won't be disappointed.
Thank you very much.

A unique combination of friendliness & expertise. I would definitely recommend Luke & his team to anyone. I always feel so much better when I leave compared to when I arrive.
Luke is a great bloke too!

I was referred to Luke with a recurring unstable shoulder which felt like it was going to pop out of it's socket. I instantly felt at ease due to Luke's amiable nature. The exercises he gave me worked a treat and and I'm now the proud owner of a stable shoulder (or solid as a rock as Luke described it). Great job Luke, I would recommend you to anyone needing physiotherapy.

I was recommended Reform Physio and Luke by numerous local runners and triathletes. I went to see Luke after breaking my ankle and was on the mend but wanted to see someone in person to check my process.
Even despite all the Covid restrictions I will still able to have a face to face appointment and felt comfortable doing so with all the procedures that were set up. I got a comprehensive check from Luke and went away with exercises to do and returned for a number of follow up appointments.
I have now returned to running and can safely say I would not be back to where I am without having seen

Luke is very personable and it is evident to see he is very knowledgeable. I was a bit apprehensive at first as this was the first time I have visited a physio and I knew very little about Reform Physiotherapy. I chose Reform as I read positive reviews and now it is quite easy to see why.
I felt assured with his expertise. Luke was able to identify my issue and provide me with an in-depth analysis of why I am suffering from my knee injury. Now we are moving forward with a plan which has brought back my motivation to get fit again. He is also very friendly and welcoming!
