Pro-Am is dedicated to the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of injuries.

Injury can hinder even the toughest of individuals and make any person feel vulnerable. Pro-Am's commitment to your health and well-being can help you through these challenging moments.

Our aim is to return you to your chosen activities, (whether it be at work or at leisure) stronger and more confident.

Prevention being better than cure we can give advice on methods to eliminate risks of injury. If an injury should occur we ensure that your condition is swiftly assessed by our qualified Sports Therapist. The appropriate treatment can then be started.

Approximately 90% all injuries are non-surgical. If further investigation is needed we can refer you in the appropriate direction.

No matter how great or small your problem, treatment is essential. Our focus and service is the same for everyone - Elite.

Treatment times range from 30 minutes to 1 hour and our fast recovery reputation means many patients are free of pain before six treatments.

Our Sports Therapist prefers a hands on approach and also the use of electrotherapy. Treatment of injury is done by correcting and improving  the natural healing process. The body is always attempting to heal itself, our job is to help assist it. Home exercises and treatments will always be given to get the patient to take an active role in recovering from their injury. This also helps to speed up the recovery process and effectively aid the treatments done by the therapist.
