All one-to-one services are charged at a very competitive flat rate of £45 per hour. Group workshops and Professional Development courses/workshops are priced individually.

Initial assessments are charged at the standard rate for 1 hour although typically take longer at no extra charge. A thorough assessment provides the best foundation upon which to build a successful therapy, rehabilitation or training program and we want you to have all the time you need to perform your assessment and ask all the questions you have without feeling rushed.

A discounted rate of £35 per hour is available to members of Abbeydale Squash and Fitness Club. We welcome you to take advantage of their flexible membership options to benefit from this substantial, exclusive discount.

Broadly speaking, treatment interventions can be classified as either Therapy, Rehabilitation or Training and can be applied both preventatively and restoratively. In practice, elements of all three areas would form the basis of a holistic, personalised plan with considerable overlap between disciplines.     

It is helpful to view Therapy, Rehabilitation and Training as:

Therapy = restoring fundamental function

Rehabilitation = restoring or developing optimal, holistic function

Training = the development and application of function

Therapy involves hands-on techniques to manipulate or mobilise joints and muscles in order to reduce restrictions in movement via improved joint range of motion, increased muscle function, reduced muscular tension, reduced swelling and inflammation and to assist the body in the management of pain. This can also include interventions such as heat and cold therapies, the use of taping and bracing and neuromuscular electrical stimulation techniques. Therapeutic interventions are often said to address the symptoms of your problem.

Rehabilitation involves the maintenance and restoration of optimal function of individual body parts and the cohesive, integrated function of the body as a whole system with a strong emphasis on the principles of physiology and biomechanics. Rehabilitation focuses on movement-based education to develop effective and efficient motion control, improved movement behaviours and a heightened sense of body awareness. Rehabilitation interventions are often said to address the root cause of your problem, playing a significant role in the prevention of injury and prevention of recurrence of previous issues.
