A targeted approach to lasting relief
Real, lasting relief comes from understanding exactly what's driving your pain — not a one-size-fits-all routine. Here's what that looks like in practice.
A thorough assessment, every time
Treatment starts with understanding exactly what's driving your pain — not just where it hurts.
You're heard, not rushed
Your history, your goals and what matters to you shape your treatment, not a generic protocol.
A plan tailored to you
Your age, activity level and what you want to get back to all shape how Andrew treats you.
No jargon, no mystery
Andrew explains what he's found and why he's recommending a treatment, so you're never left wondering.
Evidence-based, not guesswork
Techniques are chosen because they're well-supported for your specific condition, not out of habit.
Care that adapts as you improve
Your plan changes as you do — treatment in week one looks different to treatment in week four.

Our services
Treatment techniques Andrew uses
Evidence-based hands-on and exercise-based techniques, matched to your condition and stage of recovery.
Manual Therapy
Manual therapy uses hands-on techniques — soft tissue work, trigger point therapy, joint mobilisation and fascia distortion release — to ease pain, restore movement and speed recovery.
Dry Needling
Dry needling uses thin, sterile needles to release tight, overactive trigger points in muscle — a Western, evidence-based technique distinct from traditional acupuncture.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping uses suction to lift and release tight fascia and muscle tissue, easing tension and improving mobility as part of a broader treatment plan.
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy uses focused acoustic pulses to stimulate healing in chronic tendon conditions that haven't responded to other treatment, such as Achilles tendinopathy, tennis elbow and plantar fasciitis.
Electrotherapy (TENS & Ultrasound)
TENS and ultrasound therapy are used alongside hands-on treatment to manage pain and support tissue healing, particularly for inflammatory conditions like bursitis and acute injuries.
Exercise Rehabilitation
A structured, progressive exercise programme — tailored to your condition and stage of recovery — to rebuild strength, restore movement and prevent injuries recurring.
