Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy in Glasgow and Lanarkshire.
Physiotherapy is working with our patients to restore muscle balance around the various joints of the body in order to reduce pain and reduce the risk of injury.
Physiotherapy is an essential component of a healthy body for those who exercise. Those who suffer discomfort or are just keen to ensure their joints and muscles are healthy.
Our physiotherapists will carry out an assessment of various joints of your body, including the area of injury, diagnose the injury and create a rehabilitation plan.
The physiotherapists are trained in diagnostic assessments, injection therapy, and many other techniques.
Following the physiotherapy assessment, the physiotherapist will create your rehabilitation program which you can carry out within our expansive rehab suite including the AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill.
With our individual hands-on treatment and experience, we can find the cause, fix the injury and prevent it from happening again. Injuries need to be diagnosed and treated effectively without undue delay. Your initial appointment will involve an assessment and diagnosis with treatment and advice. Our service is tailored to meet your specific needs from amateur through to professional level. Whether you’re a regular golfer, runner or footballer or you simply visit the gym once or twice a week.
Whatever you do, at whatever level, our aim is to provide expert treatment and advice in order to help you recover better, because a return to health, fitness and wellbeing is our goal.
Conditions Most Commonly Treated Include
MSK Physiotherapy
You may benefit from our musculoskeletal physiotherapy if you have back or neck pain, a sporting injury, work-related problems such as repetitive strain injury, postural problems, or need rehabilitation after surgery.
Musculoskeletal physiotherapy can help you manage your condition more effectively and:
- Aid the healing process after an injury, illness or surgery
- Reduce your pain
- Prevent the injury from recurring
- Assist you in improving range of motion, flexibility, and movement control
These can include:
This involves treatments such as joint mobilisations, stretching and soft-tissue release, which can help reduce pain and improve movement
Your physiotherapist will teach you the most appropriate exercises for you following an injury or illness. These may be aimed at improving your muscle strength, postural control, flexibility or changing the way you move.
This is used to help reduce pain, muscle spasm and tissue inflammation. Acupuncture needling has been shown to stimulate the body’s own pain-relieving chemicals or endorphins
he Alter G Anti-Gravity Treadmill® is a trusted, leading-edge rehab and training equipment using NASA Differential Air Pressure technology. … The Alter G enables individuals to walk or run at a lower percentage of their body weight and perform rehabilitation with less pain
This is the assessment of dynamic alignment and movement control. Therapy will involve movement re-training and muscle re-education
The shockwaves in this type of therapy interact with tissue to increase tissue repair and cell growth as well as decreasing pain whilst restoring mobility.
To provide relief for a number of conditions, injections are administered to tissues, joint spaces, and painful soft tissue lesions. These include steroid, Hyaluronic Acid and PRP
Musculoskeletal (MSK) ultrasound is a powerful and painless tool used by radiologists to provide real-time images of muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, and cartilage throughout the body.
Some conditions require a change in the way you sit, stand or go about your everyday activities.
When choosing a physiotherapist, make sure they are registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).

Get fixed fast…
Our physiotherapists will always offer you with a detailed treatment plan that they’ve designed to give you the best possible outcome. The clinic is never restricted to a number of sessions or how often we can see you, which is a massive benefit when choosing private healthcare.
Our treatment is often completed before the healthcare service even gets back to you to make that very first phone call, which is something that we pride ourselves on. One of our patients told us this past week that when they asked the NHS how long it would take for her appointment, the reply was ‘how long is a piece of string?’ As shocked as we were, we were not surprised due to the overwhelming waitlist.
Fast and accurate diagnosis…
We give you an accurate diagnosis during your assessment session with physio.
All our physiotherapists are highly experienced, so you know you’re in the best care. You are able to ask our team any questions about your pain and be met with an honest and accurate answer. We offer tailored treatment plans that are unique to each patient, so you’re not getting the ‘bog-standard’ help… you’re more than just a patient number to us.
Hands-on treatment…
Apparently, the free healthcare service currently offers limited/no hands-on treatment, which can be detrimental to the improvement of your injury. After waiting at least 16-weeks, most of the appointments available through the healthcare service are virtual appointments, so after all that time waiting you might not even meet your physiotherapist face-to-face or receive any hands-on treatment.
Delays with diagnosis/assessments and treatment can cause long-term problems for a generation – with many told to take painkillers to help deal with the pain until they can be seen.
Face-to-face treatment at a private clinic allows your physiotherapist to see in detail the issues that you’re having and we provide additional exercises that can benefit you further. Seeing your physio face-to-face also allows you to build a relationship and trust.
