Conditions we treat
At ADAPT. PERFORM., we treat a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions — but we don’t treat conditions in isolation. Every injury, pain problem or performance limitation is assessed in the context of your goals, your lifestyle, and the demands placed on your body.
Whether you’re recovering from surgery, managing persistent pain, or returning to sport, our Bristol-based physiotherapy clinic focuses on restoring capacity, confidence, and long-term performance — not just settling symptoms.
Bristol Physiotherapy & Performance Rehabilitation
Back Pain & Sciatica
Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek physiotherapy — and one of the most misunderstood.
We work with:
Acute and persistent lower back pain
Sciatica and nerve-related symptoms
Disc-related pain
Back pain linked to sport, lifting, or desk-based work
Our approach focuses on restoring movement, rebuilding strength, and improving load tolerance — helping you return to daily life, training, or sport with confidence.
Knee pain can limit everything from walking and work to running and sport.
We regularly support:
ACL injuries (conservative and post-operative rehabilitation)
Patellofemoral pain
Meniscus injuries
Post-surgical knee rehabilitation
Tendon-related knee pain
Using objective testing using tools like VALD force plates & dynamometry, blood flow restriction (BFR) training, progressive strength training, and performance-based rehab, we ensure the knee is prepared for real-world demands — not just pain-free movement.
Knee Pain & ACL Injuries
Shoulder Pain & Upper Limb Injuries
Shoulder and upper limb pain often requires more than rest or manual therapy alone.
We treat:
Rotator cuff injuries
Shoulder instability
Post-operative shoulder rehabilitation
Elbow and wrist pain
Overuse injuries from gym, sport, or work
Our rehabilitation focuses on restoring shoulder control, strength, and tolerance to load — especially for sport, lifting, and overhead activities.
Hip Pain
Hip pain often affects walking, running, lifting, and sport performance.
We treat:
Hip impingement–related pain
Gluteal tendinopathy
Groin pain
Post-surgical hip rehabilitation
Our approach restores strength, movement control, and confidence — ensuring the hip is ready for long-term loading, not just short-term relief.
Tendon Injuries (Achilles, Patellar, Hamstring, Bicep, epicondyle)
Tendon injuries require structured, progressive loading — not rest alone.
We commonly manage:
Achilles tendinopathy and ruptures
Patellar tendon pain
Hamstring tendon injuries
Chronic tendon issues that haven’t responded to previous rehab
Using evidence-based loading strategies, isometrics, eccentrics, plyometrics, blood flow restriction (BFR) training, and performance testing, we rebuild tendon capacity for sport and daily life.
Sports Injuries & Overuse Injuries
We work with athletes and active individuals across a wide range of sports, with a variety of injuries including:
Bone stress injuries
Runners knee
Iliotibial band (ITB) Pain
Tendinopathy - Achilles, patella, bicep, rotator cuff, tennis elbow, golfers elbow
Running & endurance sports
Football
Gym & strength training
HYROX & CrossFit
Cycling and multi-sport
Our focus is not just returning you to sport — but helping you return stronger, more resilient, and better prepared.
Neck pain can significantly affect daily function, work, and quality of life.
We help manage:
Mechanical neck pain
Work-related neck stiffness
Cervicogenic headaches
Postural-related pain
Treatment combines movement-based rehab, education, and targeted strengthening to improve resilience and reduce recurrence.
Neck Pain & Headaches
Post-Operative Rehabilitation
Surgery is only the beginning of recovery.
We provide structured rehabilitation following:
ACL reconstruction
Achilles tendon repair / patellar tendon repair / bicep tendon repair…
Shoulder surgery
Hip and knee surgery - hip replacements / knee replacements / arthroscopy / meniscectomy…
Ankle surgery - Bimalleolar, trimalleolar fractures
Post-operative rehab at ADAPT. PERFORM. bridges physiotherapy and progressive strength training — ensuring you don’t stall halfway through recovery. We use blood flow restriction training (BFR), VALD force plate & dynamometry, movement analysis and capacity testing to ensure a measured progressive rehab process.
