Injury Prevention in Marple
Injury prevention uses physiotherapy screening, strength work and load management to identify and fix the weak links before they become injuries — keeping runners, athletes and active people doing what they love, at our Marple clinic.

Introduction
If you keep getting the same calf strain, your knee grumbles every time you up your mileage, or you've entered a marathon, sportive or Tough Mudder and want to reach the start line in one piece, a bit of prevention goes a long way. We'll look at how you move, how strong you are and how you train, then give you a short, targeted plan to cut your injury risk without stopping what you love. We see people from Marple, Stockport, Romiley, Hazel Grove, High Lane and Disley.

Who It's For

- A sense something 'isn't quite right' in your movement
- Stiffness or tightness that limits your training
- Past injuries you don't want to repeat
- Plateauing performance despite consistent training
- Pain that appears when you increase training volume
- One side or muscle group noticeably weaker than the other
- Planning a big event and worried about staying injury-free
What We Look At
- Movement screening
- Strength and control testing
- Targeted strengthening
- Mobility and flexibility work

- Training-load management advice

Ready to Cut Your Injury Risk?
Book your assessment today and get a short, targeted plan to keep you doing what you love.
How It Works
A 45-minute assessment with a movement screen, strength tests and a review of your training. You'll get a focused strength programme and training-load advice, with follow-ups to progress it.
Screen & Identify
Movement screening and strength testing pinpoint your individual risk factors — the weak links that could become injuries.
Target & Strengthen
A focused strengthening programme addresses your specific deficits, building resilience into the muscles that protect your joints.
Correct & Refine
We address movement faults, mobility restrictions and technique to improve how your body handles the demands of your activity.
Plan & Sustain
Practical load-management advice and a maintenance plan keep you training consistently and injury-free for the long term.
Everything You Need to Know Before Booking
No GP referral needed. Direct access appointments available — often same-day or within a few days.
What Happens at Your First Appointment
Your first session is a 45-minute comprehensive assessment. We start by listening — understanding your symptoms, your history, and what you want to get back to. We then carry out a thorough hands-on physical examination to identify the root cause of your problem. You'll receive a clear explanation of what's going on, a personalised treatment plan, and hands-on treatment begins in that very first session. You leave knowing exactly what's wrong, what we'll do about it, and how long recovery will take.
What Should I Wear?
Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the area we're treating. For knee, hip, or leg problems, shorts are ideal. For shoulder, neck, or back issues, a loose top or vest works well. You'll never be asked to undress beyond what's necessary for examination and treatment, and you'll always be treated with dignity and respect in our private treatment room.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
This depends on your condition, how long you've had it, and your goals. Many patients feel significant improvement within 3–6 sessions. Acute injuries often resolve faster, while long-standing or complex conditions may need more. We'll give you a clear treatment timeline at your first appointment — and we only ever recommend sessions you genuinely need. Our goal is to get you independent and pain-free as quickly as possible, not to keep you coming back.
Can I Claim Through Insurance?
Yes. We are recognised by most major health insurance providers including AXA, Vitality, Bupa, WPA, and Healix. We can bill your insurer directly so you don't need to pay upfront — simply bring your insurance authorisation number to your appointment. If you're not sure whether you're covered, call us and we'll help you check before you book.
