Physiotherapy is suitable for anyone dealing with pain, stiffness, or reduced function—whether it’s a new injury, a long-standing problem, or a flare-up of something you’ve managed before. We help people return to work, sport, hobbies, and day-to-day life through a combination of hands-on treatment, personalised rehabilitation, and expert guidance.
We commonly work with active adults, sporty teenagers, and those who simply want to stay mobile and independent. While we don’t specialise in paediatrics, we’re experienced in supporting older children and teenagers with musculoskeletal issues related to sport, growth, or school demands. Whether you’re a weekend athlete, a runner with a persistent niggle, or just tired of living with discomfort, we’ll help you move better, feel better, and keep it that way.
Every physiotherapy session starts with a detailed assessment. We’ll talk through your symptoms, assess how you move, look at posture and alignment, and identify any underlying factors contributing to your pain. From there, we guide you through a clear four-stage plan designed not just to get you better—but to keep you that way.
Phase one focuses on settling pain and irritation—often the main reason people seek treatment. This may include hands-on therapy, alongside treatments such as laser, shockwave, or acupuncture, combined with simple, practical advice.
Phase two introduces early rehabilitation, using gentle exercises to restore movement and begin rebuilding strength.
Phase three progresses into more targeted strength and resilience work, helping reduce the risk of the problem returning.
Phase four is about long-term maintenance. We can support this through guided rehabilitation by providing a structured exercise plan you can continue independently at home or in the gym.
The aim of physiotherapy is straightforward: to help you move more freely and feel better. Whether you’re dealing with a recent injury, a long-standing problem, or recovering after surgery, our focus is on reducing pain, improving movement, restoring strength, and supporting your body’s natural healing so you can return to what you enjoy.
Physiotherapy can improve posture, flexibility, and joint function, while also building confidence in how your body moves. By addressing the root cause of your issue—not just the symptoms—we help lower the risk of it coming back. Whether you’re training for an event, keeping up with your kids, managing a physically demanding job, or simply wanting to feel stronger day-to-day, our approach is practical, honest, and tailored to your goals. We’re here to help you live, work, and move without pain holding you back.

I had a deep tissue massage focusing on my back and legs, and it was absolutely amazing! The pressure was perfect, and I left feeling so much lighter and completely relaxed. I’m really pleased with the whole experience and will definitely be coming back again. Highly recommend!
I have to say since seeing Robert I have made a full recovery and very pleased with the result, happy I went to see him and wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Thanks again Complete Recovery Physiotherapy.
Rob is great guy, friendly, sympathetic and a good listener. He clearly knows his stuff. I strongly recommend him.
The programme of exercises he developed for me has improved my symptoms tremendously.
I would highly recommend him.
Thank you so much Rob

The training app he uses is a great way to incorporate tech into customers rehab journeys as well.
Will continue to use and recommend to others 😀.
Of pain therapy natually causes.
Would recommend him to anyone.
After just 4 sessions, I've been given some strength-building and stretching exercises which have reduced my pain massively and reduced the effect on my day-to-day life. I'm now in a much-improved position where I can continue to self manage and I'm confident it will only continue to improve.
Rob is friendly and knowledgeable and his facilities are professional and welcoming. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him if you need any support!
and set me up on an app that gave me a neck program to complete each day, which does help. Rob is happy to answer any questions you may have and walk you through what he is going to do and how you can help yourself. If you're in pain, don't hesitate to contact Rob. You will thank yourself for it. Thanks for all your help, Rob.
Booked an appointment easily through the website and have had multiple appointments with Rob, who is brilliant, and is helping me to recover from a sporting injury.
There is a really useful triage assessment that you can complete on the website. I found this to be really good.
