The team
Sara opened the clinic in 2014 after five years in NHS outpatients, Tom came from professional rugby in 2016, and Jane brought thirty years of pelvic health and rehabilitation. Every one of them assesses for forty-five minutes before treating.
Sara qualified from Cardiff University in 2009, spent five years in NHS musculoskeletal outpatients and opened Restore on Windsor Road in 2014. Spines and shoulders are her clinical interest; she teaches the upper limb module on the Cardiff MSc. HCPC PH91234, MCSP.
Tom joined in 2016 after eight years in professional rugby and a season with a cycling team. He runs the sports side, the gait analysis and the clinic gym programmes, and he races the Taff Trail half every spring, usually injured by something he tells patients not to do. HCPC PH72310, MCSP.
Jane has thirty years in physiotherapy, the last fifteen in pelvic health and rehabilitation of older adults, with a postgraduate qualification in both. She sees the pregnancy and postnatal patients in the private room, runs the Steady group and the post-surgical mornings, and does the home visits. HCPC PH28877, MCSP.
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.
A look inside

Sixty minutes on the treadmill with video from behind and the side. Found a hip drop on the left that explained eighteen months of knee pain. Six weeks of glute loading and a cadence change.
Back and neckSara
Included in the session, never charged on top. Used here for the trapezius of a desk worker alongside manual therapy and a monitor at the right height.
After surgeryJane
Week one at home on crutches, week four in the clinic gym, week twelve on the step with no hands. Discharged to the Steady group, back on Penarth pier.
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.
