Get back to the things you love doing.
At Summit Physiotherapy, we take the time to understand your pain, build a clear treatment plan, and work with you through every step of your recovery. Whether it's a stiff shoulder from work or getting back on the pitch after surgery, we're here to help.
About Us
Treating patients in this community since 2009.
Summit Physiotherapy started with a single treatment room and a simple idea: give people honest, practical advice about their bodies and the time they need to actually recover properly.
Fifteen years later, not much has changed about how we work. Our team still spends a full hour with every new patient. We still explain what's going on in plain language. And we still believe that good physiotherapy is about building trust, not selling packages.
We are registered with the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy and all of our clinicians hold postgraduate qualifications in their specialist areas.
What We Treat
Conditions we see every day.
From desk-related aches to complex post-operative rehabilitation, these are the areas where our team has the most experience.
Sports Rehabilitation
Structured return-to-sport programmes for ligament injuries, muscle tears, and overuse problems. We work with weekend runners and county-level athletes alike.
Post-Surgery Recovery
Rehabilitation after knee replacements, ACL reconstructions, hip operations, and shoulder repairs. We follow your surgeon's protocol closely and keep them updated.
Back and Neck Pain
Whether it came on gradually from years at a desk or hit you suddenly, we will assess what's causing the pain and show you how to manage it long-term.
Joint and Arthritis Care
Practical management of osteoarthritis, stiff joints, and age-related mobility changes. Exercises that actually fit your life, not a textbook.
Workplace Ergonomics
Desk assessments, workstation setup advice, and treatment for posture-related pain. We can visit your office or do it over a video call.
Paediatric Physiotherapy
Assessments and treatment for children with developmental delays, coordination difficulties, sports injuries, or growing pains. We make sessions age-appropriate and engaging.

Patient Feedback
What our patients say.
I'd been putting up with lower back pain for about three years before I finally booked in. James identified the problem in my first session and gave me a set of exercises that actually made sense. After eight weeks, I was back to playing five-a-side. Should have gone years ago.
Sarah was brilliant after my ACL surgery. She was very honest about what the recovery would look like and didn't rush me back too soon. The whole team made me feel like I was in good hands, and I'm running again now, which I wasn't sure would happen.
I brought my daughter here for her coordination difficulties. David was wonderful with her. He turned every exercise into a game and she actually looked forward to her appointments. We saw real progress within a couple of months.
