- We take referrals from GP's, Consultants, Chartered Physiotherapists & self-referrals. A comprehensive pre-treatment assessment is conducted by our Chartered Physiotherapists. This will include a suggested management path and treatment plan as agreed between the patient and physiotherapist.
- Traditional 'hands-on' treatments are complemented by the benefits of exercise. Initial tests to provide pre-rehab measures include muscle strength, performed on our isokinetic strength machine - IKON, and sensory balance, tested on the Footscan Sway Test.
- A comprehensive, evidence-based & progressive rehab programme will then be prescribed, for a safe increase of activity in our 'state of the art' centre. Every effort will be made to maintain your cardiovascular fitness.
- We can provide exercise advice for a whole range of medical conditions including weight management, blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, multiple sclerosis & the whole range of arthritic conditions. This will be consistent with the ever increasing research evidence for exercise in the management of disease.

Treatments
Various electrotherapy and cold therapy treatments are available, and cost £10 per treatment. They are prescribed in courses of six to establish a pattern of treatment and response.
Rehabilitation
Rehabilitation is the use of exercise to promote strength and aid repair at the injury site, and therefore reducing the risk of breakdown on return to activity. Varying degrees of low-grade strain are employed to load the injury in the correct way, managed with graduated progressions by the staff when appropriate.
Rehabilitation is prescribed in week blocks, and with 2-3 visits per week the fees cost between £2-3 per session.
Manual Therapy
All manual therapy treatments are medically based and consistent with current scientific principles. They are a combination of neuromuscular, myofascial release and soft tissue mobilisation techniques. Each 30 minute session costs £25. All therapists are accredited with the Sports Massage Association, and operate under the direction of Janet Horncastle's Physical Therapy Company.
