Muscle pain and injury is common in active people and athletes, and usually occurs when the demands and loads placed on muscles exceeds their capacity to tolerate it, leading to tightness, cramping, discomfort and in the worst cases strains and tears of the muscles leading to pain and reduced performance.
We work with people with a wide spectrum of muscle pain, ranging from people with general muscle soreness and tightness either from sport or work, and athletes who have suffered a muscle strain or tear and require structured rehabilitation. Regardless of the type of muscle pain or injury you are dealing with, we have the expertise to help you manage and recover from it.
We work with clients on regular maintenance of muscle pain through regular sports massage sessions and structured strength & conditioning programs to help prevent muscle tightness and overuse leading to significant injuries that require time off from their sport or activity. Common areas of muscle injury in runners and athletes, include calf, hamstring, quadriceps and adductor strains as well as low back muscle pain and injuries.
Muscle tightness and pain around the neck, shoulders and upper, mid and lower back is very common in office workers and typically responds well to physiotherapy. Whether you have had a muscle injury and need expert rehabilitation guidance or simply need relief from muscle aches to help prepare for the demands of work, training or an event, we have the expertise to help you achieve your goals and stay pain-free.

The best part of the service is that Ian has got a fully equipped gym where he can observe a patient doing the exercises prescribed by physio. We often are given exercises to resolve an issue but often we do not perform them correctly. You don’t have to worry about it with Ian. Moreover he can build a plan for you to prevent the issue reoccurring Estera Żak2025-03-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I came to Ian with chronic plantar fasciitis last year, whilst preparing for my first Ironman triathlon. I thought the outlook was pretty bleak and was concerned that I would have to defer the race, due to being in so much pain as a result of running. Ian recommended shockwave therapy which had incredibly successful effects and after a couple of treatments, paired with a few weeks off running, and some specific strength training, I was back running pain free. Pretty remarkable considering I had been in pain for months ahead of this and plantar fasciitis is well known to be a stubborn condition. I was able to complete the Ironman a couple of months later and don't think that would have been possible without Ian's treatment. Ian's very good at identifying why there is an underlying issue, treating it and suggesting how to prevent it in future and by following his advice I've had very good results. I would highly recommend his services. Beth Jones2025-02-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ian was very informative and knowledgeable.
