Physiotherapy helps people affected by injury, illness or disability through movement and exercise, manual therapy, education and advice. It can maintain health for people of all ages, helping patients to manage pain and prevent disease. Physios help to encourage development and facilitate recovery, enabling people to stay in work while helping them remain independent for as long as possible.

Our Osteopath Claire is able to use various techniques, where appropriate, when women present with issues such as infertility, endometriosis, painful periods, pelvic congestion, pain during sexual intercourse and pain arising from the coccyx. The latter being extremely common post child birth or a fall directly on to the buttocks. Read more about women's health. Annemette, Claire and Faustine also all offer the Mummy MOT for 6 weeks after birth. A Mummy MOT is a specialist postnatal examination for women following both vaginal and C-section deliveries. It will assess how your posture, pelvic floor muscles and stomach muscles are recovering after childbirth. Read more about the Mummy MOT

K-Laser targets damaged tissue with specific wavelengths of light that interact with tissue and accelerate the healing process. This enhances the body’s natural regenerative functions, as well as stimulating the release of endorphins and collagen. The result? Accelerated wound healing, as well as reduced pain, stiffness, swelling, and spasms. Read more about K-Laser. We also now have an Indiba machine at The Form Practice. INDIBA is an electromagnetic current which is delivered to the body via electrodes. This current gradually increases the treated tissue temperature. The temperature rise triggers the body's natural regeneration, repair and defence responses. Its power is perfectly positioned for musculoskeletal as well as pelvic health treatments, making it a great versatile device, reducing pain, swelling and helping with pelvic health for both men and women.
