At initial assessment, we aim to identify problem areas and biomechanical imbalances in order to produce a problem list and formulate a treatment plan with our patients prior to starting treatment. A range of tests can help to locate the source of the problem and implement the appropriate treatment strategy.
In many cases identifying the causes and predisposing factors, such as poor posture, muscle imbalance and poor working practices, allow interventions to be made to correct them and help to reduce the risk of recurrence. Our physiotherapists can help to get you back to work or sport quickly by providing a progressive and well- planned rehabilitation programme.

This is a hands-on treatment approach involving the use of gentle joint mobilisation techniques or manipulation, to improve the range of joint movement, reduce pain and restore normal function. When combined with massage, stretching, kinesiology taping and exercise therapy, this is effective for all musculoskeletal conditions.
Exercise forms an important part of physiotherapy rehabilitation. The aim is to increase mobility, muscle strength, general fitness, and build core stability, correct any muscle imbalances and reduce symptoms. Regular, moderate exercise can help many of the conditions that physiotherapists can treat.
We use a variety of massage techniques to treat the soft tissues of the body - muscles, myofascial system, tendons and ligaments. Sports massage is a deep tissue treatment, not just for people involved in sporting activities - everyone can benefit. Massage has both physical and psychological benefits.
We have no parking on site for physiotherapy patients. You can park on the street anywhere nearby or use the Gorrel Tank car park, less than 200 metres further along Cromwell Road towards the harbour. Appointments by arrangement including early morning and evening appointments outside of normal office hours.

This practice uses a massage cream which contains Arnica and St. John's Wort. These two ingredients can cause high blood pressure. Myself, I only knew about the latter ingredient at the time. I was lucky to stop the therapist from using the cream before she put it on my skin. The therapist did not know that these two creams produce a side effect which is dangerous to people with high blood pressure.

She believed that a third of her patients
