Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy is a healthcare profession that focuses on improving movement and function when someone is affected by injury, illness, or disability. It involves using physical methods such as exercise, manual therapy, and education to promote recovery and restore mobility. Physiotherapists assess, diagnose, and treat a wide range of conditions, aiming to enhance quality of life and prevent future problems.
Podiatry
Podiatry is a branch of medicine focused on diagnosing, treating, and preventing conditions related to the feet, ankles, and lower limbs. Podiatrists, or foot specialists, manage issues like foot pain, injuries, infections, and deformities. They provide treatments such as orthotics, physical therapy, and surgical interventions when necessary. Podiatrists also offer advice on foot care and footwear to promote overall foot health and mobility.
Clinical pilates
Pilates is a form of exercise that emphasises core strength, flexibility, and body awareness. It involves precise movements performed with control and proper breathing techniques. Pilates exercises can be done on a mat or using specialised equipment like the reformer. It aims to improve posture, muscle tone, and overall fitness by targeting deep stabilising muscles, making it popular for rehabilitation, fitness, and general well-being.

Personal trainers assess clients' fitness levels, create customized workout plans, and provide guidance on exercise techniques and nutrition.

NMES (Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation)
It's a technique used in physiotherapy where electrical impulses are applied to the muscles through electrodes placed on the skin. This stimulation causes the muscles to contract, which can help in various therapeutic applications such as muscle strengthening, improving blood circulation, reducing muscle spasms, and enhancing range of motion. NMES can be particularly useful for patients who have difficulty with voluntary muscle activation due to injury, surgery, or neurological conditions.
