Conditions We Treat

Common signs & indications

• Sharp or aching low-back pain
• Pain referring into the buttock or leg
• Stiffness after sitting or driving
• Difficulty lifting, bending or twisting
• Recurring episodes of back pain

Our approach

Most back pain isn't caused by serious damage — but it still deserves proper care. We identify what's driving your pain, ease it with hands-on treatment, and build a strength and movement plan so it doesn't keep coming back.

Common signs & indications

• Pain lifting the arm or reaching overhead
• Night pain lying on the shoulder
• Weakness with carrying or pushing
• Clicking, catching or grinding
• Stiffness after injury or surgery

Our approach

The shoulder is the body's most mobile joint, which makes it vulnerable to strain. Whether your pain comes from the rotator cuff, impingement or a stiff joint, we restore movement, rebuild strength and get you reaching overhead again.

Common signs & indications

• Pain in the groin, buttock or outer hip
• Stiffness with walking, stairs or getting out of the car
• Pain lying on the affected side at night
• Clicking, catching or a feeling of giving way
• Reduced hip mobility or difficulty squatting
• Pain after sport or a change in training load

Our approach

Hip pain can come from the joint itself, the deep muscles around it, or be referred from the lower back. We assess where your pain is truly coming from, ease it with hands-on treatment, and rebuild the strength and mobility that keeps your hip moving well.

Common signs & indications

• Pain with walking, stairs or squatting
• Swelling, clicking or catching in the joint
• Patellofemoral (kneecap) pain
• Ankle stiffness or pain on push-off
• Giving way, instability or reduced balance
• Pain after running, sport or a change in load

Our approach

The knee and ankle work as a team, so pain in one often changes how the other moves. We assess both joints together, treat the structures driving your pain, and build a strength and control program that restores confident walking, running and sport.

Common signs & indications

• Conservative (non-surgical) ACL management
• Rehabilitation after ACL reconstruction
• Swelling, stiffness or quadriceps weakness after injury or surgery
• Reduced confidence with cutting, pivoting or landing
• Return-to-sport testing and progression
• Re-injury prevention and ongoing strength work

Our approach

An ACL injury doesn't always mean surgery, and surgery is only the start of recovery. Whether you're managing your knee conservatively or rehabilitating after reconstruction, we guide you through a staged program that restores movement, strength, control and confidence — so you return to sport with a knee you can trust.

Common signs & indications

• Ankle sprains from a roll or twist
• Knee ligament sprains (MCL, LCL)
• Wrist, thumb or finger sprains
• Swelling, bruising and pain bearing weight
• Ongoing giving-way or instability
• Recurrent sprains in the same joint

Our approach

Ligament sprains — whether in the ankle, knee, wrist or thumb — heal best when they're managed properly from day one. We settle the pain and swelling early, restore movement, then rebuild the strength and control the joint needs so it doesn't give way again.

Common signs & indications

• Tennis or golfer's elbow pain
• Shoulder pain with lifting or overhead reach
• Gluteal or hip tendon pain with walking or running
• Patellar (kneecap) tendon pain with jumping or stairs
• Achilles or plantar heel pain with walking or running
• Morning stiffness in the tendon
• Pain that warms up but returns after activity
• Weakness with gripping, push-off or loading the tendon

Our approach

Tendons need load to heal — but the right load, at the right time. We identify which tendon is involved — whether it's the elbow, shoulder, hip, knee, Achilles or plantar heel — settle the irritation with hands-on care, and prescribe a progressive loading program tailored to that tendon. This gets you back to grip, run and lift without pain, and keeps the problem from returning.

Common signs & indications

• Sudden pain or pull during activity
• Bruising and tightness in the muscle
• Weakness with sprinting or jumping
• Recurring strains in the same muscle
• Nervousness about re-injury

Our approach

Hamstring, calf and quadriceps strains heal best with early, guided movement. We manage the injury, then run a structured return-to-sport program — including strength, speed and agility testing — so you come back at full pace, not half.

Common signs & indications

• Rehabilitation after a cast or boot is removed
• Stiffness and weakness around the fracture
• Pain or swelling with returning activity
• Post-fracture muscle wasting and loss of strength
• Rebuilding confidence on the limb again

Our approach

A fracture needs time to heal, but recovery is about more than waiting. Once your fracture is stable, we guide you through a staged program that restores movement, rebuilds strength around the injured area and returns you safely to the activities you enjoy.

Common signs & indications

• Pelvic girdle and lower-back pain
• Rib flare and postural strain
• Sciatica and hip tightness
• Neck and shoulder tension
• Safe movement and taping for support

Our approach

Pregnancy asks a great deal of your body. We help you ease the aches that arrive as your centre of gravity shifts — keeping you moving comfortably, sleeping better, and feeling at home in a body that's working hard. Care is gentle, hands-on and tailored to exactly how you feel today.

Common signs & indications

• Pelvic floor coordination for birth
• Breathwork and pushing techniques
• Perineal preparation and massage guidance
• Labour positioning and movement
• Post-birth recovery planning

Our approach

The work you do before birth shapes how you recover afterwards. Our birth-preparation sessions teach you how to engage and relax your pelvic floor, manage pushing, and use breath and positioning — so you walk into labour feeling informed, prepared and supported.

Common signs & indications

• Abdominal separation (diastasis recti)
• Pelvic floor weakness or heaviness
• Caesarean or perineal scar sensitivity
• Persistent back or pelvic pain
• A safe, staged return to exercise

Our approach

Recovery doesn't end at delivery. Whether you're six weeks or six years post-birth, we help you reconnect with your body — rebuilding core and pelvic floor support, addressing scar tissue, and easing you back into movement with patience, not pressure.

Common signs & indications

• Stress incontinence with coughing or exercise
• Urge incontinence and overactive bladder
• Frequency and rushing to the toilet
• Leaking since childbirth or menopause
• Night-time waking to void

Our approach

Leaking when you laugh, run or cough is far more common than it is spoken of — and it responds beautifully to the right care. We offer a private, judgement-free space to understand what's happening and rebuild control with evidence-based pelvic floor rehabilitation.

Common signs & indications

• Bowel leakage or urgency
• Chronic constipation and straining
• Incomplete emptying
• Pain with bowel movements
• Pelvic floor tension contributing to blockage

Our approach

Bowel concerns can feel isolating, but you are far from alone — and they are very treatable. We help you understand the mechanics of your pelvic floor and bowel, release tension where it's holding you back, and build habits that bring lasting, comfortable rhythm.

Common signs & indications

• Pain on penetration (dyspareunia)
• Vaginismus and muscle spasm
• Post-birth or post-surgical scar sensitivity
• Vulval pain or burning (vulvodynia)
• Loss of desire linked to discomfort

Our approach

Pain with intimacy is something no woman should simply 'put up with.' In a private, sensitive setting, we work to understand the cause — whether muscular tension, scar tissue or nerve sensitivity — and rebuild comfort and confidence at your pace.

Common signs & indications

• Pelvic and lower-abdominal pain
• Painful periods and ovulation
• Pain with intercourse or bowel movements
• Pelvic floor muscle guarding and tension
• Fatigue and flare-up management

Our approach

Endometriosis pain is real, complex and often misunderstood. We work alongside your medical team to ease pelvic muscle guarding, calm an over-sensitive nervous system, and help you keep moving and living well between flare-ups — with care that always believes your pain.

Common signs & indications

• Heaviness or a dragging sensation
• A visible or felt bulge in the vagina
• Worsening symptoms by the end of the day
• Leaking or difficulty emptying
• Pessary fitting and management guidance

Our approach

A feeling of heaviness or 'something coming down' can be alarming, but prolapse is both common and very manageable. We help you understand your anatomy, strengthen and coordinate your pelvic floor, and learn to lift, move and exercise in ways that protect and support you.

Common signs & indications

• A visible gap or doming down the midline
• Core weakness after birth
• Lower-back pain and poor postural support
• A 'pooch' that won't respond to exercise
• Difficulty returning to exercise safely

Our approach

Diastasis recti is a natural part of pregnancy — but when it lingers, it can leave your core feeling weak, doming, or unsupported. We assess your separation precisely and guide you through a staged program to reconnect deep core control and rebuild strength that lasts.

Common signs & indications

• Unsteadiness or fear of falling
• Balance problems on uneven ground
• Previous falls or near-misses
• Weakness in the legs and hips
• Difficulty getting up from a chair

Our approach

A fall can change everything, and the risk of one rises quietly with age. We assess your balance, strength and walking, then build a tailored program that improves confidence on your feet and keeps you living independently.

Common signs & indications

• Aching, stiff joints, worst in the morning
• Pain with walking or climbing stairs
• Reduced joint movement and flexibility
• Swelling around affected joints
• Pain limiting daily activities

Our approach

Arthritis doesn't have to mean slowing down. We combine hands-on treatment, joint-friendly exercise and practical advice to reduce pain, improve mobility and keep your knees, hips and hands working as well as they can.

Common signs & indications

• Rehabilitation after hip or knee replacement
• Swelling and stiffness after surgery
• Weakness in the operated leg
• Difficulty with walking and stairs
• Regaining independence at home

Our approach

Surgery is the beginning, not the end. We guide you through each stage of recovery after hip or knee replacement — managing swelling, restoring movement, rebuilding strength and returning you safely to the activities you enjoy.

Common signs & indications

• Difficulty walking distances or outdoors
• Needing support for balance or confidence
• Poorly fitted or unsuitable walking aids
• Slow or shuffling walking pattern
• Fatigue with everyday walking

Our approach

A walking stick or frame only helps when it's the right one and the right height. We assess how you walk, recommend the most suitable aid, and fit and train you to use it safely — improving comfort, posture and confidence.

Common signs & indications

• A diagnosis of osteoporosis or osteopenia
• Height loss or stooped posture
• Fear of fracture with exercise
• Previous fragility fracture
• Wanting safe, bone-strengthening activity

Our approach

With osteoporosis, the right exercise protects your bones — and the wrong movement can put them at risk. We design a safe, evidence-based program of strength, balance and posture work tailored to your bone health and your goals.

Common signs & indications

• Spinning sensation (vertigo)
• Light-headedness or unsteadiness
• Dizziness with head or body movement
• Nausea linked to movement
• Symptoms triggered by rolling over in bed

Our approach

Dizziness and vertigo are distressing — and often very treatable. We assess the vestibular system and the neck, then use specific repositioning and habituation techniques to settle your symptoms and restore steady, confident balance.
