Regardless of your level of running, our comprehensive running assessment can be beneficial whether you are currently injured or simply want to improve your performance.
During the 75 minute session, our highly skilled physiotherapists will take a detailed history (including a pre-assessment form to get as much detail about your training and history as possible so that the bulk of the session can be functional); accurate strength testing and an in depth running analysis on our treadmill.
You will also be given running tips, training techniques, a tailored exercise program for your needs and a plan for how to progress after the session.
Remedial & Sports Massage
Remedial Massage
Our massage therapist uses techniques to treat muscular problems where there is significant pain or loss of movement.

Sports Massage
Our massage therapist works on specific muscles, taking into account the injuries that the individuals sport may put on their body.

Our Studio Pilates classes are capped at three people, so you have an expert guiding you for your whole session with a more individualised approach. We will use a variety of equipment including reformer, trapeze and the barrel. All of those wishing to join studio sessions are encouraged to book in for an initial Pilates 1:1 Session first and advise you from here.
They can take a detailed history and assessment then will go over the foundations with you, including breathing and how to activate your deep core muscles and pelvic floor correctly. They will also advise you on the best next steps, whether that might be doing a couple of 1:1 sessions first before going into classes – they will provide you with the confidence and support you need.
