Expert Physiotherapy in Cheltenham and Gloucestershire
Be Strong, Flexible and Active
Being active is fantastic for your health, but it also puts your body through a great deal of stress. Whether you’re a weekend warrior, a fitness enthusiast, or a seasoned athlete, we recommend that you incorporate sports physiotherapy into your regular activity schedule.
The benefits of hosting our expert physiotherapy and sports injury clinic within an active gym is that you will have access to a range of equipment that standalone clinics could only dream of, you will get a fuller recovery, and you will enjoy your active life for longer.
It is important to remember 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 help the active older adult stay active, manage any joint pain, and even prevent falls. It’s like looking after your car, by having regular maintenance, and treating early signs of trouble, you can keep the car running for years. We believe that to stay fit and active it is essential that you recognise early signs of injury, treat injury and maintain long-term conditions so that you can keep on reaping the health rewards from following an active lifestyle.
If you have health insurance for physiotherapy then you can be reassured that we are registered with all the major providers, if you have to pay for your own treatment then we have plans that can save you up to 20% of the cost. For anyone who has a long-term issue, that needs ongoing treatment, we offer an injury maintenance schedule 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!”
