Back to sport, step by step

1. Assess
What's injured, why it happened, and what your sport asks of it.
2. Treat
Hands-on treatment to settle pain and get things moving again.
3. Rebuild
Strength, control and confidence, built up week by week.
4. Return
A clear plan back to full training.

Your first appointment
Your first appointment takes an hour. We'll ask about the injury, your training and what you want to get back to, then look at how you move. We'll explain what we think is going on in plain English and map out your plan back to sport. Treatment usually starts the same day.
Follow-ups are 45 minutes. Bring or wear your training kit. You don't need a GP referral.
If we can't help, you won't pay
If we assess you and don't think we can help, you don't pay for that appointment, and we'll point you to someone who can.
06
Physio and massage, one visit
Pair your physio with a sports massage, or with chiropractic, back to back at our Heaton clinic. Handy while you're training back up, and it costs less than booking them separately.
First visit + massage
Start your rehab and loosen off in the same trip.
Treatment + massage
A physio session, then a 30-minute sports massage.
Physio + chiropractic
Physiotherapy and chiropractic in the same visit, planned together.
07
Regular appointments
Once you're back training, some people like regular check-ins to keep on top of things. We'll plan them around your training, whether that's every few weeks in a heavy block or the odd session before an event.
Ask about membership if you'd like regular appointments.
What they're for
- Keep working on the strength you've built
- A chance to raise small niggles
- Planned around your training
- Your plan is reviewed each time
