Based in Otley, West Yorkshire, we’ve been providing physiotherapy and orthopaedic massage for many years. Our patients come to us from all over Yorkshire and beyond.
Patients visit our practice with a wide range of musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. Our treatments have helped many long-term conditions including, asthma, osteoarthritis and chronic fatigue syndrome.
On your first visit to our practice, a detailed case history will be taken to allow us to create a bespoke treatment plan for you. This will take into account past medical history and a hands on assessment. We pride ourselves on this method and, without beating around the bush, have found we often help patients who couldn’t find help anywhere else.
We will explain all our insights and findings and discuss timescales and expectations of recovery as each person is unique. We continually reassess to ensure that the plan we devised is working for you.
We also offer Polestar Pilates classes. These classes are available to anyone but also compliment treatment to aid recovery. Sue’s classes are unique, suitable for complete beginners, and aim to strengthen, condition, tone and support mobility.
