Physiotherapy in Penarth that treats the injury and then makes you strong enough to keep it fixed. Forty-five-minute assessments, hands-on treatment, a clinic gym, and a plan with a finish line.
What we treat
01
The most common thing through the door: a back that went, a neck that will not turn, sciatica down one leg. Assessed in forty-five minutes, treated hands-on, and strengthened so it stays better.
Initial assessment £68, follow-ups £52.
02
Hamstrings, knees, Achilles, shoulders, ankles. Diagnosed properly, treated hands-on, and rehabilitated with a loading plan and a return-to-sport date rather than rest and hope.
Initial assessment £68, follow-ups £52.
03
Getting you moving properly after a joint replacement, a ligament reconstruction, a shoulder repair or spinal surgery, to your surgeon's protocol and at your pace, in a clinic gym built for it.
Initial assessment £68, follow-ups £52, six together £288.
04
Shoulders that will not lift, cuffs that have torn, elbows that hurt to grip and wrists and hands after fractures. Diagnosed with the right tests, treated hands-on, and strengthened in the right order.
Initial assessment £68, follow-ups £52.
05
Pelvic girdle pain and back pain in pregnancy, the postnatal check and return to exercise, pelvic floor rehabilitation for leaking and prolapse, and the abdominal separation nobody talks about. With Jane, in a private room.
Initial assessment £68, follow-ups £52.
06
Arthritic hips and knees, balance that has gone, confidence lost after a fall, and the strength to keep doing the garden and the stairs. Gentle, measured, with a weekday morning group and a concession fee.
Initial assessment £68, concession follow-ups £46 for over 65s.
How it works
Forty-five minutes: your history, a movement and strength assessment, the red-flag screen, and a diagnosis in plain words before anything else happens.
Manual therapy, soft tissue work, acupuncture and taping where they help, on the first day. Nothing is charged on top of the session.
A loading programme in the clinic gym and at home, graded week by week, because the muscle around an injury is what keeps it fixed.
A goal, a number of sessions and a review date, written down at session one. When you reach the goal, you are done.
What you can expect
The goal is the half marathon, the garden, the grandchildren, the gym. We measure against that, not against a pain score alone.
Open from 7:30am to 7:30pm on weekdays. Acute injuries are seen within 48 hours; most new patients within the week.
Initial £68, follow-ups £52, six together £288. No VAT, no exercise-sheet fee, no scan referral fee. Most insurers recognised.
Strength, range and a function score at the start and at each review, so progress is a number on your plan and so you know when you are done.
The clinic gym
Treatment rooms fix the pain; the gym fixes the reason. Ours has a treadmill for gait analysis, a cable column, bars, steps, bikes, weights and a reformer studio, and every rehab plan that comes out of a treatment room ends up in here being loaded, measured and progressed.
Conditions
Reviews
Back went lifting the pushchair out of the boot. Seen the next morning at 7:30, examined properly, told it was not a disc, and given three exercises and a loading plan. Walking normally in a week, discharged after five sessions with a stronger back than before.
Achilles that had stopped me running for six months. Tom did the gait analysis, found a calf that had lost half its strength, and had me running again in five weeks on a plan that went up every Monday. Half marathon done, no pain.
Knee replacement at 74. Jane came to the house twice in the first week, then I went to the clinic gym, then the Steady group. Up and down my stairs without the rail by week eight. The surgeon said it was the best range he had seen that month.

No. Physiotherapists are first-contact practitioners and you can book directly. If you are claiming on health insurance, some policies want a GP referral first, so check your policy or ring the number on your card.
Acute injuries within 48 hours, most new patients within the week. We open at 7:30am and close at 7:30pm on weekdays, and Saturday mornings, so there is usually something that fits around work.
Most people need four to eight. We write the estimate down at the first session with a goal and a review date, and we stop when you have reached the goal. We do not sell open-ended packages; the six-session block is a discount, not a commitment.
Something you can move in: shorts and a vest or t-shirt are ideal. We have shorts and gowns if you come from work. For pelvic health sessions, whatever you are comfortable in; the examination is explained before anything happens and is only ever with your consent.
Usually. We are recognised by the main insurers and invoice Bupa, AXA Health and Vitality directly. Bring your policy details and any authorisation code and reception will tell you how your insurer handles it.
Forty-five minutes with a physiotherapist: history, assessment, a diagnosis in plain words and treatment on the day. £68, no GP referral needed, most insurers recognised. Acute injuries seen within 48 hours.
