Freedom Physiotherapy and Wellness Centre provides patients with a physiotherapy service that is personable and caring.
We take the time to properly diagnose the cause of pain, and implement a treatment and rehabilitation programme focused on individual patient requirements.
This form of treatment has National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE) approval for treating Achilles and Patella Tendinopathy and plantar fasciopathy.
