Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation
What is sports therapy and rehabilitation?
During a Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation appointment, we help people suffering from a musculoskeletal pain, injury, or condition. For individuals of all ages, from a sporting or non-sporting background.
We can help with a range of common problems, including:
- Acute or chronic pain
- Lower back pain
- Neck and shoulder pain or restrictions
- Hip, knee and ankle pain or restrictions
- Muscle strains and ligament sprains
- Posture analysis and improvement
- Pre- and post-surgery rehabilitation
How do the pre-qualified appointments work?
A pair of our final year Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation students will work with you to recover from a current injury, reduce pain and prevent future injury using personalised exercise, movement, and therapeutic treatments under supervision from a fully qualified member of staff.

Our clients

Alter-G treadmill
Our Alter-G (Anti-Gravity Treadmill) uses NASA Differential Air Pressure technology to adjust the weight-bearing load, which means you can rehabilitate a specific injury with low-impact and pain-free movement.
Appointments for the Alter-G can be booked online or by contacting the clinic staff.
"I am grateful for the support of staff and the great facilities; using the Alter-G has allowed me to walk and exercise."
