Our treatments

We tailor all treatments uniquely to each individual patient.

We also offer a wide range of alternative therapies, including sports therapy and holistic therapies. We provide treatment for patients with muscle or joint related symptoms such as back, neck, shoulder or knee pain. These symptoms can develop suddenly during sport / DIY or gradually as a result of long-term damage. We are experts in rehabilitation after orthopaedic surgery.

We also offer various treatments for stress, fracture healing, breathing problems and neurological conditions such as strokes.

Testimonials

I have been extremely pleased and extremely grateful for the wonderful treatment I have received at Ambulant Physiotherapy. I arrived in agony and after just a few sessions, I am feeling so much better.

K. Walmsley, 55, District Nursing Sister

From the first appointment I had where I was struggling to lift my arm properly, to the last where I could play squash shots again, you were extremely professional and your diagnosis was spot on.

R Mackie, October 2006

This is the third time I have been to Ambulant Physiotherapy Ltd for acupuncture and massage by Martha Richardson. It is truly a remarkable, relaxing treatment and I would highly recommend it to anyone.
