WHO WE SEE
Built around how you train
Tell us what you do and what you want from care. Your doctor looks at how you move before suggesting anything.
Runners
Road, trail and track. Your doctor looks at how you load your hips, knees and feet, and talks through what might help.
Climbers
Shoulders, elbows and fingers take the strain. We look at how you pull and what your sessions ask of you.
Cyclists
Long hours in one position. We look at how you sit on the bike and how your back and neck respond.
Lifters
Squat, press and pull. We look at how you move under load and where you feel it.
Weekend players
Pickup games and club seasons. Ask us about care around yours.
Desk days, training nights
Many patients sit all day and train after work. We look at both.
