The meaning of 'physis'
At physis, we recognise that our business is all about making you better - putting a smile back on your face. Our aim is to ease your pain by getting to the root of its cause. The techniques we use to do this encourage and nurture your body to naturally grow healthier tissue. In the past, we used technical, medical terms to explain this process. Then we discovered the word 'physis.' This is an ancient Greek term that means 'natural growth.' It's also the basis from which the word 'physiotherapy' is derived. To us, physis succinctly describes what our business is all about - we work with nature, rather than against it. To our patients, it simply means that our treatments make them better.

Therapies we offer
We offer various types of physiotherapy, podiatry, chiropody, massage and pilates. Other physiotherapy clinics may offer similar types of services but what makes us different from most - is that our therapists believe in using recognised and proven medical science to treat our patients. Saying that, physiotherapy is not just about the conditions we treat such as back pain, neck pain or sports injuries or the treatment methods we use - it's about you, the patient. Which is why we work together with you to make sure that your pain not only goes away but stays away.
