    Comments Off on Rehabilitation & Gym

    Our rehabilitation gym is fully furnished with both cardiovascular and free standing equipment that can be used to tailor a return to sport or work after injury.

    All exercise programmes are coordinated and overseen by a Physiotherapist or a Personal Trainer with a specific interest in rehabilitation. They may be on a one-to-one basis or in a small class situation.

    • Individual sessions are often done in conjunction with physiotherapy treatment, the exercise programme being progressed with improvement of the pain or joint limitation.

    • 4 week progressive shoulder and posture rehab classes run for people with shoulder and neck pain

    • 6 week classes run for back builders – the aim being to improve knowledge and understanding of the back problem so that you can manage the problem with strengthening, proprioceptive and mobility exercises.

    • Ski fit classes are running now to improve all round fitness and the all important core and leg strength that is essential to get the most out of your ski trip.

    The classes are put together by instructors that ski themselves and have a key understanding of what is needed and incorporates specific equipment such as the Skiers Edge

    Comments Off on Acupuncture

    Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese medical treatment technique, used today in the treatment of a wide range of medical conditions, and is particularly effective in the relief of pain. It also promotes a real sense of relaxation and wellbeing – factors which are very appropriate to the use of acupuncture in physiotherapy programmes.

    Our acupuncture treatments are provided by qualified, experienced practitioners and are typically used for the treating of:

    Musculoskeletal Pain
    Sports Injury
    Sciatica
    Arthritis

    The procedure involves inserting fine needles at specific sensor points in the body; these are left in place for between 10 and 30 minutes with stimulation provided by the therapist to control the effectiveness.

    Our procedures are extremely hygienic, using single-­use sterilised needles.
