Our Services

At Coates Physiotherapy we offer complete personal care packages that encompass all aspects of physiotherapy, including...

Members of our team have worked in elite athletics and cycling, West End shows, and professional rugby. We use this vast experience to rehabilitate and implement the staged return of our patients back to the field of play as efficiently and effectively as possible.

Richard has a special interest in complex shoulder cases. He was awarded the British Elbow and Shoulder Society Travelling Fellowship where he looked into the return to sport protocols following shoulder surgery and is currently researching decision making surrounding an athletes’s return to sport following shoulder surgery.

We have a long history of treating complex cases which many people experience in older age. Patients who may have neurological or respiratory conditions alongside an orthopaedic problem, regularly attend our clinic. We like a challenge and aim to treat patients holistically.

Our team has a wealth of experience in dealing with musculoskeletal disorders. We are happy to offer a second opinion if your current treatment program has not progressed as you would have liked, and we will offer onward referral to other healthcare professionals where we think it is necessary.

Post-operative rehabilitation is a regular part of our practice. We have a good relationship with local consultants and pride ourselves in facilitating our patient’s return to full function.

We have excellent relationships with local surgical and medical consultants. This means that should you need an onward referral for further investigations and/ or treatments we will facilitate this to aid your return to full fitness.
