for a pain free lifestyle
Physiotherapy for active people can be a combination of hands-on care (also known as manual therapy or mobilisation), exercises, advice and education. It may also involve more specialist techniques, such as medical acupuncture, soft tissue massage, pilates, or shockwave therapy.
Physiotherapy is a dynamic approach that focuses on optimizing your functional abilities, whether you’re an athlete recovering from an injury or an everyday individual seeking pain relief.
We invest time in understanding your lifestyle, challenges, and aspirations at our sports therapy clinic. Then we create a customized roadmap that considers your unique circumstances. Whether you’re rehabbing a knee injury or managing chronic pain, this personalized approach ensures that every session counts.
Thorough Assessment
When you see one of our physiotherapists in Cheltenham, the first thing they will do is a thorough examination to identify your specific problems. This is done so that we can treat those problems very specifically, usually with manual therapy techniques, almost always within a specific exercise program that's unique to your findings. Most importantly is we'll educate you on what we found and what we plan to do about it.
