ABOUT US
We see a broad range of clients who want to overcome physical discomfort, and we can help you return to pain-free, fluid movement. Many people come to us after exhausting other options and hearing about us from satisfied clients.
Some people come to us with chronic pain, often the result of the realities of modern day life and the effects they have on posture and movement. For those who have incurred injuries to the back, or upper or lower limbs, whether through sport or accident, we work both pre- and post-surgery. And we also work with postnatal women to get you exercising again, to overcome lower back and pelvic girdle pain, or to help you lose your ‘pregnancy bulge’.
For budding sportspeople, and elite athletes, our running clinic will assist you to get in peak condition, whatever the sport. From recreational runners to elite sprinters, or if your game is hockey, netball or taekwondo, we work with you to limit the incidence of injuries and boost your sporting performance.

His own experiences with shoulder and hand injuries strengthened his passion for helping others overcome physical challenges, leading him to pursue a degree in Sport and Exercise Science and then a Masters in Sports Rehabilitation.
Fin has worked with high-performing athletes, including boxers, dancers, and endurance athletes. This experience deepened his understanding of the physical demands of elite performance. He also volunteered as a complementary therapist at St Joseph’s Hospice, where he specialised in palliative care to broaden his skill set beyond athletic clients and improve the quality of life for patients.
