CHELTENHAM Physiotherapy clinic
treating the cause of pain, not just the symptoms
Being fit and active is fantastic for your health, but it also puts your body through a great deal of stress, and that can unfortunately lead to injury. So whether you’re a weekend warrior, a fitness enthusiast, or a seasoned athlete, we recommend that you incorporate the holistic physiotherapy approach in your injury treatment.
It is also important to appreciate that active lifestyles aren’t purely for the young. As we age, the ability to maintain our mobility becomes just as crucial. Our Cheltenham physiotherapists are trained to help the active older adult stay active, to manage any joint pain they may have. Increased mobility created by physiotherapy may even prevent falls.
The benefits of hosting our physiotherapy clinic within an active gym is that we have a wide range of equipment that other local physios can only dream of, which means that we can go beyond the usual recovery and repair stage to provide additional strength and function phases of treatment which can help to effectively restore you to pre-injury levels.
If you have health insurance for physiotherapy, we are registered with all the major providers, alternatively if you have to pay for your own treatment then we have pre-paid packs of 4, 8, 12 or 16 that can save you up to 20%. For anyone who has a long-term issue that needs ongoing treatment, we can offer an injury maintenance schedule also at reduced cost.

“I booked into Straight Back Physiotherapy after a long-term injury showed no sign of recovery. The team were great, getting to the root of the issue and putting me on a course of exercises which fixed the issue enabling me to get back on the bike. Would definitely recommend!”
