Physiotherapy treatments in Ilford

Every treatment starts with a proper assessment, so we treat the cause of your pain and not just where it hurts.

We are a small, multi-disciplinary outpatient clinic. Our chartered physiotherapists and sports rehabilitators use a wide range of manual techniques, including mobilisation, spinal and peripheral manipulation and massage, combined with exercise therapy and supported by electrotherapy equipment. Where it helps, we add acupuncture or dry needling for pain relief.

    Hands-on treatment and a clear exercise plan for muscle, joint, tendon and nerve pain anywhere in the body.

How treatment sessions work

Your first appointment is a full assessment of about an hour, including your first treatment. Follow-up sessions take 45 to 50 minutes. For assessment of the back or pelvis you may need to undress to shorts and a T-shirt, so wear or bring something comfortable. You are welcome to bring a chaperone to any appointment.

Common questions

Which treatment do I need?

You do not need to choose. Book an initial assessment and your physiotherapist will recommend the right mix of hands-on treatment, exercise, needling or equipment for your problem.

Do you use exercise or just hands-on treatment?

Both. Hands-on techniques such as mobilisation, manipulation and massage ease pain and stiffness, and a tailored exercise programme makes the improvement last.

Can I combine acupuncture with physiotherapy?

Yes. Our physiotherapists are trained to use acupuncture and dry needling alongside other treatment, usually to ease pain so that exercise is easier.
