THERAPIES

Services to support your physical well-being and mental health.

Fast access

Our primary care therapies range across physiotherapy, psychology and psychotherapy, as well as dietitian services. These services can be accessed by patients directly, but are also used to provide a more holistic primary care service to patients, whether self-paying or as part of a corporate healthcare package.

Physiotherapy

Our primary care physiotherapy service can help in the treatment of:

  • sports injuries
  • common sprains and strains
  • spinal conditions causing backache, sciatica and headaches

Prevention

We also provide preventative training advice and rehabilitative exercises are given to minimise risk of recurrent injury. We work with patients to develop a personalized treatment plan which can include:

  • an initial assessment lasting approximately 30 minutes
  • detailed history of the current injury and any relevant past history
  • active movement and manual testing procedures leading to a diagnosis
  • full explanation of the diagnosis
  • recommendation and a course of treatment devised using specialised physiotherapy techniques

Treatments

Once we have assessed the problem, we can look to employ a number of specialised physiotherapy treatments including:

  • manual manipulation (hands-on pressure to mobilise joints and soft tissue)
  • soft tissue techniques (massage and friction to promote healing)
  • exercise and stretching (including clinical Pilates-style and stability ball exercises)
  • thermal and non-thermal ultrasound (with or without heat to decrease stiffness, pain and muscle spasm, or stimulation of tissue regeneration)
  • acupuncture
  • low level laser therapy or LLLT (application of red or near infrared light waves to injuries to improve wound and soft tissue injuries
  • gait analysis (treadmill-based assessment of your walking style)

Therapy

We offer brief and longer term therapy with individuals and couples, using the following evidence-based models of therapy:

  • cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)
  • rational emotive behavioural therapy (REBT)
  • psychodynamic psychotherapy
  • acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)
  • eye movement desensitisation reprocessing (EMDR)

All therapists within our team are bound by a professional code of ethics and belong to their relevant professional body. And all are registered with the Health and Care Professions Council.
