Physio Lead Rehab
A gym based rehab session, used following injury diagnosis. This session aims to facilitate rehab in a high performance gym setting.
Whether returning to your daily routine or elite level sport, having a steady progressive rehab program in place is key in making a safe and efficient recovery.
If you’re looking to prevent injury or working on your rehabilitation. Having physio led rehab program in our state of the art facilities aims to facilitate this process.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves the use of single-use, pre-sterilised disposable needles that pierce the skin at the acupuncture points. Your Physiotherapist will determine the locations of these points on the basis of an assessment. A number of needles may be used during each treatment, and these are typically left in position for between 20 and 30 minutes.
Trigger point acupuncture may also be used to facilitate relaxation in specific muscles following traumas, for longer-term unresolved muscle pain, or as a means of increasing muscle length in order to aid stretch and rehabilitation.
Gait Analysis
Gait analysis involves the process of looking at someones walking or running pattern and analysing this for inefficient movement patterns. A Gait Analysis session is with one of our therapists who will get you moving on a treadmill and video your gait. This analysis will allow the therapist to identify less optimal movements and identify why they are occurring.
Gait Analysis is for any level of runner who has a related injury. However, a Gait analysis is also useful to identify running errors and make headway in minimising them to reduce the impact on ligaments or tendons, and therefore prevent injury.
Physiolab
Physiolab equipment provides benefit by aiding muscle recovery and reducing inflammation caused by injury. Physiolab may be recommended as a treatment option. After your first session, we can teach you how to set the equipment up so you can drop in to our Rehab Room sessions and make the most of the equipment and studio space to stretch and foam roll after.
If you have sustained a more serious injury, using Physiolab several times a day may be of great benefit. Additionally, you may be at a point where your exercise load is at a peak. If so, you can rent the Physiolab system and use in the comfort of your own home.

Sports massage can be used to enhance performance, warm up muscles and aid healing. Sports massage is not only for athletes, it can help anyone to relax and lower stress as it improves circulation and reduces tension.
