What is the difference between
physiotherapy and sports therapy?
In your first session, you will undergo a comprehensive assessment including a number of physical and strength testing. Mark will take a thorough case history looking at the cause, lifestyle as well as what makes you unique. From here, Mark’s focus is devising your treatment plan, including a hands on treatment and rehabilitation exercise and principles.
Sports therapy is a great way to help those who work in an office or had a recent physical injury ( e.g. sprains or strains) that is causing pain, aches or impacting on the quality of life. It is recommended for everyone, from individuals who play sport at all levels or/and have an active lifestyle to those who want to return to work or improve their quality of life in general.
CLIENT REVIEWS
Seeing Mark regularly for Tuina has been life changing after several years of lower back pain and SI joint pain. Mark has been a key therapist on my road back to recovery. His skill and sensitivity as well as passion for his craft seeps through each and every treatment, and I can not recommend him enough. He always tailors the treatment to my needs on the day; deep work or a more gentle touch, and I always leave feeling refreshed and with an improvement in my symptoms. I warmly recommend Mark.
