A practice built on listening

Since 2007, our practice has been built on a single belief: recovery should feel personal — never rushed, never generic.

Adam
Adam Smith-Connor Lead Physiotherapist & Clinic Founder

What began in September 2007 as a single treatment room at Gang Warily Recreation Centre in Fawley has grown into a trusted physiotherapy practice serving the whole of Southampton and the New Forest.

A second clinic followed in Southampton in June 2012, and in January 2024 the practice found its permanent home at 40 Kingfisher Way in Marchwood — a calm, purpose-built space with parking right at the door.

Every treatment plan here starts with a conversation. We work through what's hurting, what's stopping you, and what you want to get back to — then build a path forward that fits your body, your sport, and your life.

What we treat

The body is connected.
So is your recovery.

From a twinge in your shoulder to a stubborn lower back that won't settle — we treat the full spectrum of musculoskeletal conditions, not just the symptom.

01

Back & Neck Pain

Acute flare-ups, chronic stiffness, postural strain and everything that keeps you reaching for the paracetamol.

02

Sports Injuries

From weekend warriors to dedicated athletes — get back to training sooner, with a plan that protects against re-injury.

03

Whiplash & Trauma

Post-accident rehabilitation that rebuilds neck and shoulder mobility, gently and at the right pace for your tissue.

04

Arthritis & Joint Pain

Movement is medicine. We help stiff, ageing joints move freely again — without surgery where possible.

05

Orthopaedic Recovery

Post-surgical rehab after joint replacement, ligament repair or fracture — guided every step of the way.

06

Workplace Strain

Desk-related pain, repetitive strain and the postural toll of modern working life — assessed and corrected.

07

Pain Management

Persistent pain is complex. Acupuncture, manual therapy and a steady, structured plan to reclaim your days.

08

Acupuncture

Western medical acupuncture as part of an integrated treatment — for pain relief, recovery and tension release.

How we work

Three steps.
One clear path.

No rushed appointments. No generic print-out exercises. Just careful, evidence-based care that meets you exactly where you are.

01

Listen & Assess

Your first appointment is a full hour — long enough to understand the full picture: your pain, your history, your goals, and the underlying causes, not just the symptoms on the surface.

02

Treat & Educate

Hands-on manual therapy, acupuncture where appropriate, and a clear explanation of what's happening in your body. Understanding your injury is half the recovery.

03

Rebuild & Return

Targeted rehabilitation to restore strength and movement — getting you back to sport, work and the everyday, with confidence that the problem won't return next month.

Specialties & techniques

A toolkit built
over seventeen years.

01
