What Is Physiotherapy?
If you are recovering from an injury, experiencing ongoing discomfort, or looking to improve your movement, our Canning Town clinic can support you.
Physiotherapy uses an evidence-based, whole-person approach. Our Chartered Physiotherapists combine hands-on techniques, movement analysis, and structured exercise programmes to identify and treat the root cause of pain or dysfunction.
The goal is to restore strength, mobility, and confidence in how your body moves, not just to manage symptoms.
Integrated Care: The Best Of Both Worlds
At The Massage Company, we bring together physiotherapy and massage therapy to support a more complete recovery.
- Physiotherapy focuses on assessment, diagnosis, rehabilitation, and long-term improvement through targeted treatment and exercise.
- Massage Therapy helps relieve muscular tension, reduce discomfort, and support relaxation by working on the soft tissues.
By combining both approaches, we create a more effective pathway to recovery that supports both immediate relief and long-term results.
Conditions We Treat
Our physiotherapists support a wide range of conditions, whether you are recovering from injury or managing ongoing issues.
We commonly treat:
- Musculoskeletal pain: Support for joint and muscle discomfort affecting everyday life.
- Sports injuries: Treatment for strains, sprains, and activity-related injuries.
- Post-operative rehabilitation: Helping restore strength, mobility, and function following surgery.
- Mobility concerns: Improving balance, coordination, and overall movement quality.
- Postural issues: Addressing the impact of prolonged sitting or repetitive strain through targeted guidance and exercises.

Your First Visit
Your initial assessment will include a detailed physical examination to understand your symptoms, movement patterns, and goals. Your physiotherapist will also review your medical history.
From this, a personalised treatment plan will be developed, which may include:
