Sports Injuries

"Our team will work with you to get your body back to working at its best so you can optimise your sporting performance."

Does this sound familiar?

“Dean loves to run. He also likes to swim and cycle. Recently whilst participating in a triathalon Dean badly strained his hamstring. This is not the first time this has happened, in fact it’s the 4th time in the last 3 years. He has since been recovering but is desperate to do some rehab and start training again. However this time he wants, actually he NEEDS, to do it properly. But it’s so hard to find somewhere that will provide first class rehab and conditioning and also excellent hands-on treatment.”
