Fast access to supportive therapies
Our primary care therapies range across physiotherapy, psychology and psychotherapy, as well as dietitian services. These services can be accessed by patients directly, but are also used to provide a more holistic primary care service to patients, whether self-paying or as part of a corporate healthcare package.
Physiotherapy
Our primary care physiotherapy service can help in the treatment of:
- sports injuries
- common sprains and strains
- spinal conditions causing backache, sciatica and headaches
Preventing recurrent injuries
We also provide preventative training advice and rehabilitative exercises are given to minimise risk of recurrent injury. We work with patients to develop a personalised treatment plan which can include:
- an initial assessment lasting approximately 30 minutes
- detailed history of the current injury and any relevant past history
- active movement and manual testing procedures leading to a diagnosis
- full explanation of the diagnosis
- recommendation and a course of treatment devised using specialised physiotherapy techniques
Physiotherapy treatments
Once we have assessed the problem, we can look to employ a number of specialised physiotherapy treatments including:
- manual manipulation (hands-on pressure to mobilise joints and soft tissue)
- soft tissue techniques (massage and friction to promote healing)
- exercise and stretching (including clinical Pilates-style and stability ball exercises)
- thermal and non-thermal ultrasound (with or without heat to decrease stiffness, pain and muscle spasm, or stimulation of tissue regeneration)
- acupuncture
- low level laser therapy or LLLT (application of red or near infrared light waves to injuries to improve wound and soft tissue injuries
- gait analysis (treadmill-based assessment of your walking style)
Psychological services
We have a team of highly skilled and experienced psychologists and psychotherapists who have been carefully selected for their excellence in patient work. Each therapist takes time to fully understand an individual’s difficulties before tailoring a treatment programme to meet their specific needs — rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. There are therapists with different specialisms in all areas of mental health, such as depression, anxiety, eating disorders, PTSD and addictions; and we are able to match patients to therapists who best suit their requirements. Our key focus is on ensuring we develop an excellent therapeutic relationship with our patients to allow them to feel safe in the process of change and to achieve their full potential.

Why should I see a dietitian?
Medical experts recommend individuals follow a healthy diet, maintain an ideal body weight, and exercise to help prevent the onset or progression of disease. If you have a personal or family history of heart disease, diabetes, cancer or obesity, or if you are concerned about your overall health, then you may want to meet with a dietitian for an individualised nutritional assessment.
Dietitians can be trusted to give evidence-based and scientifically-proven information about optimising nutrition to promote health.
