The clinic has been developed with the aim of offering a comprehensive range of quality heal.thcare services in a pleasant and friendly environment.
Our success as a Physiotherapy practice over the past twenty years is based on our reputation for achieving results in realistic time frames without an excessive number of treatments. On attendance patients will receive specialist physiotherapy, advice and rehabilitation programmes in order that they make an effective and rapid recovery.
We aim to provide a high standard of individual, care. During the first consultation patients are fully assessed and as a result this consultation is usually a little bit longer than subsequent sessions. This allows time for an explanation of the findings aswetl as treatment and a rehabilitation programme to be planned.
