Injury Consultation
Required for all new injuries. This session allows for a full assessment of the upper limbs, lower limbs, or spinal assessment, depending on the requirement. Range of motion and strength will also be assessed, along with any special tests that may be required. At the end of the session, treatment will have started, along with establishing an ongoing treatment plan.
​
90 minutes - £50
Follow - up Appointment
A follow-up appointment will utilise the treatment plan created from the first session. This will provide treatment and exercises to either rehabilitate an injury or strengthen a specific area.
​
60 minutes - £45
45 minutes - £40
Sports Massage
Sports massages are used to release tension and tightness, alongside any niggling knots.
Monthly sports massages can help keep your body feeling supple and flexible, thus enhancing performance.
​
35 minutes - £30
45 minutes - £35
Strapping and Taping
Strapping and Taping
Kinesiology tape can be used during rehabilitation for either supporting a limb or reducing swelling.
Due to the proprioceptive properties of kinesiology tape, usage for postural correction is common, especially for post-injury.​
​
Taping can be used within the session, but a separate session will incur a £5 charge for application and a spare set of tape. ​
Low Level Laser Therapy
LLLLT uses focused beams of light at specific wavelengths to stimulate and re-energise damaged cells, triggering a series of biochemical reactions that promote regeneration at a cellular level and pain relief.
​
Initial session - 1 hour - £40​
Follow up - 30 minutes - £30
Offers on block booked sessions are available.

What to expect from an inital consultation
Subjective Assessment
We begin with a medical history form to ensure there are no contraindications to treatment. This is followed by a detailed discussion about your injury, symptoms, and personal goals to guide your care.
Objective Assessment
We assess your range of motion (active and passive), perform strength tests, and, if needed, conduct special tests to identify the injury source. Palpation helps us detect muscle tightness or tenderness.
Treatment Plan
Based on your assessment, we will develop a personalised treatment plan, which may include:
-
Sports massage
-
Joint and spinal mobilisations
-
Mobilisations with movement
-
Stretching and mobility work
-
Strengthening exercises
As part of the treatment plan, you'll receive a tailored exercise program with specific reps and sets to support your recovery.
