Specialist MSK care that connects assessment, diagnostic ultrasound, treatment and rehabilitation in one clinic.
Specialist MSK expertise
Advanced Physiotherapy Practitioners with more than 20 years of NHS and private experience, qualified as MSK sonographers.
Diagnostic ultrasound on site
Where imaging could add useful information, the scan can happen in the same appointment rather than weeks later.
Treatment and rehabilitation together
Hands-on treatment, exercise and ultrasound-guided injections where clinically appropriate, all from the same team.
Appointments that fit around you
Weekday, evening and Saturday appointments, in clinic or online where the assessment allows.
Our Services
Three services, used on their own or together depending on what your assessment finds.
Physiotherapy
Our physiotherapists assess and treat a wide range of musculoskeletal problems, including sports injuries, persistent pain, postural problems and conditions requiring rehabilitation. Treatment is based on clinical assessment and current evidence, with a programme tailored to your needs.
Musculoskeletal Ultrasound & Injection
Diagnostic MSK ultrasound can help assess a range of muscles, tendons, joints and other soft tissues. Where appropriate, ultrasound guidance can also be used to improve the accuracy of an injection procedure.
Dry Needling
Dry needling is a technique that may be used as part of physiotherapy for selected presentations involving muscle tightness and myofascial pain. Your clinician will assess whether it is appropriate for you.
Which service might I need?
You do not need to work this out before you get in touch. If you would like a sense of where to start, this is how the services are usually used.
Pain, injury, stiffness or a movement problem you would like assessed
Physiotherapy
A suitable starting point for many musculoskeletal pain, injury, movement and rehabilitation concerns.
A problem where imaging could help assess the tissue involved
Musculoskeletal Ultrasound & Injection
May be useful when imaging could help assess selected muscles, tendons, joints or other soft tissues.
A problem already assessed, where an injection is being considered
Ultrasound-guided injection
May be considered where clinically appropriate following assessment.
Muscle tightness or myofascial pain alongside your rehabilitation
Dry Needling
May be used alongside physiotherapy for selected muscle and myofascial presentations.

Common Questions Before Booking
If your question is not answered here, call us on 02038118464 and one of the team will talk it through with you.
No referral is needed to see us privately. If you are claiming through an insurer, they may ask for a GP referral first, so it is worth checking with them before you book.
If you are not sure, contact the clinic and describe the problem. A physiotherapy assessment is a suitable starting point for many musculoskeletal concerns, and your clinician will advise whether a scan or another service is appropriate once they have assessed you.
Both are available where the service can be provided in that format. Some examinations, investigations and treatments can only be carried out in person, and your clinician will tell you if that applies to you.
Appointment length depends on the service booked. The team will confirm how long to allow when you book.
Any relevant medical information or previous reports you have, and details of the medicines you take. Please wear clothing that allows the relevant area to be assessed where possible.
Yes. If further medical or surgical assessment is recommended, your clinician will explain the next steps and discuss the options with you.
You do not need to diagnose yourself before contacting us. Tell the team what problem you are experiencing, how it affects you and what you would like to get back to doing, and they can advise on the most appropriate appointment or next step.
