Areas of care
Treatments, explained plainly.
Each area below lists the problems we see most often and how care usually works. Your own plan starts with an assessment - this is a guide, not a diagnosis.
Area 01
Knee
Knees carry a lot of what we ask of our bodies, from stairs to sprint finishes. We look at the whole leg - hip, knee and foot - before deciding what the knee needs.
Common conditions
- Meniscus tears
- Ligament injuries, including ACL and MCL sprains
- Kneecap (patellofemoral) pain
- Knee osteoarthritis
- Patellar and quadriceps tendon pain
How it's treated
- A hands-on assessment and a review of any scans you already have
- A physiotherapy plan for strength, control and confidence
- Advice on load, so you know what to keep doing and what to pause
- Bracing or joint injections where they make sense
- A surgical opinion, including keyhole and reconstructive options, when other care isn't enough
Area 02
Hip
Hip pain can show up in the groin, the buttock, the outer thigh or even the knee. Finding where it really comes from is the first part of the plan.
Common conditions
- Hip osteoarthritis
- Hip impingement (FAI) and labral tears
- Outer hip pain (greater trochanteric pain)
- Groin strains
- Hip bursitis
How it's treated
- Walking, movement and strength assessment
- Physiotherapy focused on the hip and trunk
- Guidance on activity, sleep positions and daily load
- Image-guided joint injections when appropriate
- Assessment for hip surgery, including joint replacement, if it's worth considering
Area 03
Shoulder
The shoulder trades stability for range of movement, so small problems can change a lot - reaching, lifting, sleeping, swimming. We work out which part is struggling and why.
Common conditions
- Rotator cuff tendon pain and tears
- Frozen shoulder
- Shoulder instability and dislocation
- Shoulder impingement
- AC joint injuries
How it's treated
- Range-of-movement and strength testing
- A graded physiotherapy programme you can do at home
- Ultrasound-guided injections where they fit
- Return-to-sport planning for throwing, racquet and swimming sports
- A surgical opinion for tears and instability that don't settle
Area 04
Foot and ankle
Every step goes through the foot and ankle. Sprains that don't quite settle and heel pain that lingers are common reasons people come to see us.
Common conditions
- Ankle sprains and ongoing ankle instability
- Achilles tendon pain
- Plantar heel pain (plantar fasciitis)
- Bone stress injuries
- Bunions and big toe arthritis
How it's treated
- Assessment of how you stand, walk and run
- Advice on footwear and, where useful, orthotics
- Balance and strength rehabilitation
- Imaging referrals when they would change the plan
- A surgical opinion for structural problems
Area 05
Sports injuries
Whether you race, play on weekends or just want your morning run back, sports injuries need a plan that respects both healing and your goals.
Common conditions
- Muscle strains, including hamstring and calf
- Ligament sprains
- Overuse injuries, such as shin pain and tendon pain
- Running injuries
- Returning to sport after injury or surgery
How it's treated
- A clear diagnosis and an honest timeline discussion
- A graded return-to-sport plan with checkpoints
- Sport-specific rehabilitation and running review
- Coordination with your coach or trainer, if you'd like
- Referral to a surgeon on our team when it's needed
Area 06
Physiotherapy and rehabilitation
Physiotherapy is at the centre of most care here. Your physiotherapist works from the same notes as your surgeon, so the plan stays joined up.
Common conditions
- Preparing for surgery and recovering after it
- Persistent joint pain
- Recovery after a fracture
- Loss of strength or mobility
- Balance and confidence on your feet
How it's treated
- One-to-one sessions in a quiet treatment room
- A written home programme, updated as you progress
- Supervised sessions in our rehabilitation gym
- Regular reviews, shared with your surgeon when relevant
- Small-group strength classes for some programmes
Area 07
Joint injections
Injections are one option among several, not a starting point for everyone. If they might suit your situation, we'll explain the choices, the aftercare and the alternatives before you decide.
Common conditions
- Knee, hip and shoulder osteoarthritis
- Bursitis
- Tendon-related pain
- Frozen shoulder
How it's treated
- A consultation first, so the decision is yours
- Corticosteroid and hyaluronic acid options explained in plain language
- Ultrasound guidance where it helps accuracy
- Written aftercare and advice on returning to activity
- Physiotherapy alongside, where it helps
