Our services

We offer a full range of specialist physiotherapy services to suit your needs.

Physiotherapy

Our physiotherapy starts with a detailed assessment to diagnose your condition and build a tailored plan. Treatment combines targeted exercises, hands-on therapy, massage, movement re-education, taping, and acupuncture.

Sports injuries

‘Sports injuries’ is an umbrella term for pain or injury that comes about during physical exercise or sport. As such, it’s often ordinary people as well as athletes that can experience problems such as these. We’re lucky to have a hugely experienced physiotherapy team who have looked after professional and even international athletes in football, cycling, tennis, rugby, netball, weight lifting, swimming and athletics. The same care and attention to detail is something that we bring to each of our patients, including the weekend warrior and ‘non-athlete’!

Joint Conditions

The types of joint condition that we see are varied, from more common complaints such as osteoarthritis to less common issues like monoarthritis or polyarthropathy. Some patients who we see will manage well with exercises and advice, but on other occasions we may involve their GP or refer to a consultant for specific tests or procedures.

Tendon Clinic

Specialists in diagnosing and treating tendon issues, including tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, and tennis elbow. We provide targeted loading exercises, manual therapy, and Shockwave Therapy to restore function and relieve pain.

Adolescent Injuries

Our clinic specializes in adolescent injuries, supported by our long-standing work with students from Radley College, Abingdon School, and St Helen & St Katharine. Children aren't just miniature adults understanding how growth and physical development affect pain is essential to preventing long-term complications and determining when further investigation is needed.

Swedish Massage

Specialised massage treatment targeting soft tissue pain and tension relief. Perfect for dealing with muscle pain experienced during day-to-day activities.

Post Op Rehabilitation

Post-surgery, targeted physiotherapy is key to reducing stiffness, easing pain, and rebuilding strength for a full recovery. We work closely with surgical teams across Oxford, Reading, London, and Swindon to deliver seamless, specialist aftercare.

Running Physio

Running and recreational jogging are hugely popular in the UK. At Flex, our long-running ‘Runners Workshop’ helps participants identify red-flag pain and prevent injury. When injuries occur, we evaluate bone health, diet, hormones, muscle strength, and biomechanics during the initial consultation to pinpoint the cause and determine if further imaging is needed.

Sports Massage

Sports massage service is a specialised massage treatment, effective as both a pre-sport wake-up for the body, and for recovery and pain relief after intense sporting sessions.
