Physiotherapy that meets you where you are, and supports where you want to go
At Rise Physiotherapy, we work with people across the full spectrum of activity, age, and ability. What unites our clients isn’t a specific sport, job, or diagnosis, it’s the desire to move well, stay active, and live fully.
We don’t believe in telling people to stop doing what they love. Instead, we help them adapt, rebuild, and progress, using expert physiotherapy, clear communication, and structured rehabilitation.
Here's Who We Help
Everyday Active
Staying active, staying capable
You don’t need to be an athlete to benefit from expert physiotherapy. Many of the people we see are simply trying to stay active, through walking, hiking, going to the gym, playing recreational sport, or keeping up with family life.
We help with:
- Recurrent aches and pains
- Stiffness or loss of confidence in movement
- Injuries that “never quite settled”
- Returning to activity after a break
Our goal is to keep you moving comfortably and confidently, without unnecessary restrictions.
Athletes & Competitive Sport
Structured rehab and return to performance
We work with athletes competing across a wide range of sports, from team sports to endurance and strength-based disciplines.
Our support includes:
- Acute injury management
- Post-surgical rehabilitation
- Return-to-training and return-to-play planning
- Performance-focused rehabilitation
With experience working in elite sport environments, we understand how to balance performance goals with long-term health.
Runners
From first 5km to marathon and beyond
Running places unique and repetitive demands on the body. We work with runners of all levels, from beginners managing niggles to experienced runners training for events.
Common presentations include:
- Tendon pain (Achilles, patellar, hamstring)
- Knee, hip, or calf issues
- Bone stress injuries
- Load management and return-to-run planning
We focus on understanding why pain developed, not just treating symptoms, so you can run stronger and more sustainably.
Climbers
Supporting performance on the wall and on the rock
Climbers place high loads through shoulders, elbows, fingers, and hips. We have extensive experience working with climbers, both indoor and outdoor, who want to recover properly and keep progressing.
We support:
- Shoulder and elbow injuries
- Finger and forearm pain
- Load management during training blocks
- Return to climbing after injury or surgery
We understand the demands of climbing and aim to keep you climbing well. See our dedicated Climbing.
Golfers
Keeping you swinging freely
Golf requires mobility, power, and control, often repeatedly. We help golfers manage pain, improve movement, and return to play with confidence.
We commonly see:
- Lower back pain
- Hip and shoulder stiffness
- Rotational movement limitations
- Overuse injuries
Our approach respects the technical and physical demands of the sport while keeping rehabilitation practical and achievable.
Triathletes & Endurance Athletes
Balancing training, recovery and resilience
Endurance athletes often juggle high training volumes across multiple disciplines. We help manage the cumulative load that comes with this.
We support with:
- Overuse injuries
- Tendon and joint pain
- Training load optimisation
- Rehab that fits around busy training schedules
Our aim is to keep you consistent, resilient, and progressing.
Surfers
Staying in the water, performing at your best
Surfing demands a unique combination of power, mobility, endurance, and reactive balance, across a body that’s repeatedly paddling, popping up, and absorbing the unpredictable forces of the ocean. Whether you surf casually or compete, the physical demands are significant and often underestimated.
We commonly support surfers with:
- Shoulder and rotator cuff pain from paddle load
- Lower back pain related to extension and rotation demands
- Knee and ankle injuries from take-offs, landings and uneven terrain
- Neck and thoracic stiffness affecting paddling efficiency
- Recovery after wipeouts or acute trauma
We focus on understanding the full picture, your surfing, your training, and your body, so rehabilitation is relevant, progressive, and keeps you in the water as much as possible. Our aim is to restore strength, mobility and confidence, while building the resilience to surf harder, longer and more sustainably.
Skiing & Snowsports
Preparing for the mountains, and recovering after them
Snowsports demand strength, control, endurance and confidence, often in unpredictable environments. We work with skiers and snowboarders both before trips and after injury.
We help with:
- Pre-season conditioning and injury prevention
- Knee injuries (including ACL and meniscus)
- Hip, back and ankle pain
- Post-surgical and post-injury rehabilitation
Our aim is to ensure you’re physically prepared for the slopes, and if injury occurs, that your recovery is structured, progressive and confidence-building, so you can return to the mountains safely and enjoyably.
Mountain Bikers
Resilience for long rides, technical trails and big days out
Mountain biking places unique stresses on the upper body, spine and lower limbs, often combined with fatigue, impact, and repetitive loading.
We commonly support mountain bikers with:
- Shoulder, wrist and hand injuries
- Neck and lower back pain
- Knee pain related to climbing and descending
- Appropriate imaging after big hits or injury
- Recovery after crashes
Our physiotherapy focuses on restoring strength, control and tolerance to load, while helping you ride with confidence and reduce future injury risk.
Contact Sports
Structured rehabilitation for high-demand environments
Contact sports place significant physical and psychological demands on the body. We work with athletes involved in sports such as rugby, football, hockey, martial arts and combat sports.
We support:
- Acute injuries and return-to-play planning
- Post-surgical rehabilitation
- Recurrent muscle strains and joint injuries
- Building robustness and resilience for contact
With experience in elite and competitive sport environments, we understand the balance between performance, safety, and long-term health. Rehabilitation is progressive, well-communicated, and aligned with the demands of your sport.
Young Athletes
Supporting growth, development and confidence
Young athletes face unique challenges as their bodies grow and adapt to increasing training demands.
We help with:
- Growth-related pain (e.g. Osgood-Schlatter’s, Sever’s)
- Early sport specialisation injuries
- Safe return to sport after injury
- Building robust movement foundations
We work closely with both young people and their parents to ensure care is safe, age-appropriate, and confidence-building.
Ageing Well
Staying strong, mobile and independent
Age should never be a barrier to movement or ambition. We work with people who want to remain active, independent, and capable as they age.
Common goals include:
- Managing arthritis or joint pain
- Improving balance and strength
- Recovering from injury or surgery
- Maintaining an active lifestyle
Our physiotherapy focuses on capability, confidence, and long-term health — not unnecessary limitations.
Office Workers
Managing the physical demands of desk-based life
Prolonged sitting, repetitive tasks, and stress can all contribute to pain and dysfunction.
We commonly help with:
- Neck and shoulder pain
- Lower back pain
- Repetitive strain injuries
- Reduced movement confidence
Our approach goes beyond posture advice, focusing on restoring movement, strength, and resilience.
Manual Workers
Supporting bodies that work hard
For people in physically demanding jobs — construction, trades, healthcare, emergency services, and more — the body is a vital tool.
We support:
- Acute work-related injuries
- Recurrent or cumulative strain
- Return-to-work planning
- Building physical resilience for job demands
Our aim is to help you work safely, effectively, and without ongoing pain.
Post-Surgery & Injury Recovery
Guided rehabilitation at every stage
We work closely with people recovering from:
- Joint replacement surgery
- Ligament and tendon surgery
- Fractures and complex injuries
With capacity for frequent, supported rehabilitation, we guide recovery beyond “getting by” and toward meaningful function.
Persistent or Recurrent Pain
Clarity, reassurance and progress
Not all pain has a simple cause. We regularly work with people who have tried multiple approaches without lasting success.
Our physiotherapists take time to:
- Understand your full story
- Reassess movement and function
- Build confidence alongside capacity
Rehabilitation is collaborative, paced, and designed to restore trust in your body.
Tennis Players & Racket Sport Athletes
Keeping you powerful, fast and resilient on court
Tennis and racket sports place high demands on the shoulders, elbows, spine, hips and lower limbs, often with repetitive, high-speed movements in asymmetrical patterns.
We regularly support:
- Shoulder pain and rotator cuff injuries
- Tennis and golfer’s elbow
- Lower back and hip issues
- Knee and ankle injuries related to change of direction
Whether you play recreationally or compete at a high level, we focus on restoring strength, control and confidence, while keeping you on court wherever safely possible. Rehabilitation is designed around the demands of your sport, not just symptom relief.
If You’re Not Sure Where You Fit
That’s okay.
Many people don’t neatly fall into one category – and you don’t need to. If pain, injury, or loss of confidence is affecting your ability to live the life you want, physiotherapy can help.
We aim to provide elite-level physiotherapy and care, but for all, no matter your background or goals.
This is physiotherapy that adapts to real people, real goals, and real lives.
