When you pick up an injury, everything comes to a halt. And worst than the pain is the inconveinience of putting your training schedule on hold. You can choose to work through the pain - many athletes pride themselves on their high tolerance levels. But pain is a warning signal that needs to be heeded. And if you just ignore it, the problem could get worse.
The only sure way to get back on track is to face the problem head on. Curing your injury could be a sprint or a marathon, but Performance Physiotherapy will stay the distance with you - however long it takes.
Our chartered Physiotherapists have worked with the sporting world's elite, so there's no type of injury we haven't treated. During your initial consultation we'll diagnose your problem and set a course of treatment and excercise. Then over the following weeks we'll relieve your joint and muscle pain and give you the techniques you need to avoid a repeat injury.
When pain is all you feel, it's hard to see a way forward. So talk to one of our physiotherapists - We'll soon have you up and running!

Ignore the pain and other muscles can overcompensate, resulting in discomfort spreading through the body. It can be a vicious circle where too much or too little exercise could make things a lot worse.
Back Pain
A common problem for the population as a whole, especially sportsmen/ women. It can be caused by muscle imbalances from the wrong type of training, bad posture or even from trauma during contact sports. Whatever the cause, we'll get to the bottom of things and find the most appropriate solutions.
Joint Pain
Joint problems are common in sportspeople. Areas such as the knees, shoulders or ankles are particularly prone to injury for a number of different reasons. We can assess the cause of any problems and provide appropriate treatment to ensure a full and rapid recovery.
Muscle Strains
Another common problem for those who take part in active exercise, muscle strains can affect any part of the body. It's important to tailor treatment and rehabilitation according to the stage of the injury - otherwise it's a much longer road to recovery.
Joint Mobilisation and Manipulation
This can help alleviate pain and restore normal movement by releasing any restrictions within the stiff joints of the spine.
Soft Tissue Release & Massage
Muscles and ligaments are often tight and painful in people with back problems. Releasing these tight structures can often provide instant relief.
Electrotherapy
Modalities such as Ultrasound and TENS may help reduce inflammation and relieve pain.
Exercise/ Rehabilitation Programmes
One of the most important aspects in ensuring that back problems resolve fully is a good exercise programme. As part of their treatment, clients are given appropriate exercises to strengthen or stretch weak or tight muscles
