Islington Clinic

Physiotherapy can help restore movement and function following injury, illness or surgery. It can also support people managing persistent pain, reduced mobility and recurring musculoskeletal problems.

Your physiotherapist will begin with a detailed assessment to understand your symptoms, movement and goals. Your personalised treatment plan may include hands-on therapy, rehabilitation exercises, movement advice and education to help you recover and reduce the likelihood of the problem returning.

We treat a wide range of conditions, including:

Back and neck pain
Shoulder, hip and knee pain
Sports and exercise-related injuries
Muscle, tendon and ligament injuries
Joint pain and stiffness
Post-operative rehabilitation
Repetitive strain and work-related problems
Persistent or recurring musculoskeletal pain

Our aim is not simply to manage your symptoms, but to help you move with greater confidence and return to the activities that matter to you.

Sports and deep tissue massage can help relieve muscular tension, improve flexibility and support recovery following exercise, training or everyday physical activity.

Treatment is tailored to your body and goals, whether you are preparing for an event, recovering after training or experiencing discomfort caused by work, posture or repetitive movement.

You do not need to be an athlete to benefit. Our massage treatments are suitable for anyone looking to reduce muscle tightness, improve mobility and feel more comfortable in their daily activities.

TECAR therapy, also known as diathermy, is an advanced treatment designed to support recovery and rehabilitation.
Using radiofrequency energy, TECAR therapy gently warms targeted tissues and may help improve circulation, reduce pain and support tissue recovery. It can be incorporated into treatment for sports injuries, muscular discomfort, joint problems and post-operative rehabilitation.

At Seventeen Physiotherapy, TECAR therapy is used alongside clinical assessment, hands-on treatment and rehabilitation exercises to support your individual recovery goals.

Medical acupuncture and dry needling use fine needles as part of a wider physiotherapy treatment plan.

Medical acupuncture may be used to help manage pain and support relaxation, while dry needling targets sensitive areas and trigger points within muscles. These treatments may help reduce muscular tension, improve movement and relieve symptoms associated with certain musculoskeletal conditions.

Your clinician will discuss the treatment with you beforehand and only recommend acupuncture or dry needling when it is suitable for your needs.

Some conditions require additional investigation or input from another healthcare specialist.

Where appropriate, our team can help guide you towards further care through our wider network of musculoskeletal specialists. This may include recommending a medical assessment, diagnostic imaging or consultation with another suitably qualified professional.

We will explain why a referral may be helpful and support you in understanding the appropriate next steps.

Our physiotherapy packages provide structured support for people who require an ongoing course of treatment and rehabilitation.

Packages may be suitable for:

Injury rehabilitation
Post-operative recovery
Persistent pain
Improving mobility and strength
Returning to sport or exercise
Longer-term rehabilitation goals
 

Packages of five and ten sessions are available.
 

Please note that all sessions within a package should be completed with the same therapist wherever possible. This helps maintain continuity of care and allows your therapist to monitor your progress throughout treatment.
