Penzance Physiotherapy and Pilates

Established in 2005, we expanded and moved to Clarence House Therapy Centre in 2011. Our Practitioners are an experienced team of Chartered Physiotherapists, all registered with the Health Professions Council (HCPC) and two (Zelah and Dominique) are accredited Pilates Instructors. We are accredited by BUPA, Nuffield Health, Rehabworks  and other Private health insurance companies.

 

 

At our Practice we aim to help our patients overcome musculoskeletal complaints caused by medical conditions, chronic and acute injury, postural dysfunctions and surgery. We also help patients to maintain their body’s health on a practical long term basis. All our treatment, rehabilitation  and exercise programmes are  developed to optimise  recovery and where a condition is chronic to help stabilise and enable a client to better self manage their symptoms geared around their lifestyle, work and interests.

 

We are all manual therapists and use a variety of treatments, ranging from joint mobilisation,  deep soft tissue release, connective tissue massage, tailored and graded exercise and home exercise programmes, postural work and advice.

 

We offer a tailor-made physiotherapy package to support you pre and post op. Home visits can be arranged, or we offer appointments at our central Penzance clinic.
