Services
Physiotherapy
Our physiotherapy services address sports injuries, chronic pain, and musculoskeletal conditions using tailored rehabilitation programmes. We focus on restoring mobility, strengthening muscles, and preventing future injuries through hands-on care and evidence-based techniques. Patients benefit from personalised treatment plans designed to meet their specific recovery goals.
Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic treatments target spinal misalignments, back pain, and nerve-related issues via manual adjustments and therapeutic exercises. We prioritise long-term relief and improved posture, integrating lifestyle advice to enhance overall spinal health and mobility for patients of all activity levels.
Deep Tissue Laser Therapy
This non-invasive therapy uses Class 4 laser technology to accelerate healing, reduce inflammation, and alleviate pain in conditions like arthritis and soft-tissue injuries. Sessions are fast, safe, and effective, with most patients noticing improvements after a few treatments for both acute and chronic issues.
Podiatry
Our podiatry services address ankle and foot complaints, including sports-related injuries, gait abnormalities, and chronic conditions like plantar fasciitis. We offer biomechanical assessments, custom orthotics, and targeted therapies to improve foot function and reduce pain for enhanced mobility.
Massage Therapy
Therapeutic massage techniques relieve muscle tension, improve circulation, and aid recovery from injuries or overuse. Tailored sessions focus on areas such as shoulders, neck, and lower back, promoting relaxation and restoring balance to the musculoskeletal system through skilled manual therapy.

Report
I cant speak highly enough of Matt and the team at Optimus. Optimus came highly recommended by a friend after I had a poor experience elsewhere. I had an initial assessment with Matt who was friendly and knowledgeable. He clearly explained what my problem was and was able to offer a range of treatments to help, as well as providing exercises to do at home. Matt has now been treating me for many years for ongoing problems and I wouldnt go anywhere else.
I have complete confidence in him, and he genuinely cares and wants to help. Matt was also able to help aid my recovery following surgery so I could get back to playing golf. I have no doubt without his support the recovery period would have been much longer. The whole team are lovely and there is always a warm welcome when you arrive. I would highly recommend Optimus to anyone.
