Our clinicians assess each person individually to determine whether a steroid or hyaluronic acid injection is the most appropriate option, based on diagnosis, symptoms, activity levels and rehabilitation goals. We build tailored rehabilitation programmes around your injection, monitor your progress and keep your treatment journey entirely under one roof.
Steroid (Corticosteriod) injections are powerful anti-inflammatories that calm irritated tissue, breaking the pain-inflammation cycle and creating a window when rehab becomes far more comfortable.
Rapidly reduces inflammation in conditions such as bursitis, tendinopathy and inflammatory arthritis.
Hyaluronic acid (viscosupplementation) injections restore the joint’s natural lubrication and cushioning, offering longer-lasting relief without delaying any future surgery.
Restores joint lubrication and reduces pain in osteoarthritis, particularly of the knee and hip
Ready to get back to pain-free movement?
Waiting too long for an injection on the NHS? We will ensure you receive the right treatment at the right time.
Medication is delivered directly into painful joints, tendons, or bursae to reduce inflammation and improve function. Using ultrasound to guide each injection ensures perfect accuracy, effective treatment and a comfortable experience.
As physiotherapists we are uniquely placed to deliver ultrasound guided injections. We understand how posture, alignment, movement patterns and beliefs impact upon your pain and recovery, and address these aspects alongside your injection to optimise results.
By reducing pain and inflammation, injections create an optimal environment for rehabilitation. This allows you to:
Following your injection, you’ll receive clear aftercare advice and a tailored physiotherapy programme designed to maintain improvements, reduce pain recurrence, and support lasting recovery.
Steroid injections are powerful anti-inflammatories that provide rapid pain relief by calming irritated tissues.
Hyaluronic acid injections restore joint lubrication and have longer-lasting effects, particularly for chronic conditions like osteoarthritis.
Your physiotherapist will recommend the most appropriate option based on your specific condition and goals.
Steroid injections cost £180. Hyaluronic acid injections cost £280.
Both prices include a full assessment and ultrasound-guided injection. We discuss costs transparently during your consultation.
Yes, appropriately trained physiotherapists can safely provide steroid and hyaluronic acid injections within their scope of practice.
We undergo advanced injection training, follow strict clinical guidelines, and work with thorough assessment and consent processes. You receive expert musculoskeletal care from a trusted clinician who understands your complete rehabilitation journey.
Yes, injections are commonly used for adults of all ages experiencing osteoarthritis-related pain or other musculoskeletal conditions. They're designed to improve comfort and mobility, often chosen by people who wish to avoid or delay surgery while remaining active and independent.
Injections do not cure underlying conditions like osteoarthritis or tendinopathy, but they can significantly reduce pain and improve function.
When combined with physiotherapy and appropriate exercise, many people experience substantial improvements that allow them to stay active and manage symptoms effectively long-term.
Side effects are rare and injections are usually very well tolerated. Possible side effects include temporary pain increase, mild swelling, stiffness, infection (extremely rare), and allergic reactions.
As with all interventions, pain relief is not guaranteed and some people may not respond as expected. We always explain risks fully so you can make an informed decision.
This varies by individual and condition. Steroid injections typically provide relief for several weeks to months. Hyaluronic acid injections often provide longer-lasting benefits, with many people experiencing improvements for 6-12 months. Response depends on the severity of your condition and adherence to rehabilitation programmes.
You'll receive clear aftercare instructions tailored to your injection type and location.
Generally, we recommend avoiding strenuous activity for 24-48 hours, then gradually returning to normal movement. Most people begin or continue physiotherapy exercises within days to maximise the benefits of reduced pain.
Injection therapy is not suitable for everyone. All injections are provided following a clinical assessment and discussion of potential benefits and risks. Results vary between individuals. Injection therapy is used as part of a broader physiotherapy treatment plan and does not replace exercise-based rehabilitation or medical care where required.
Our clinicians' breadth of experience means we bring rigorous clinical thinking and high-performance rehabilitation methods to every patient, regardless of their goals or starting point.
Whether you are returning to sport, managing a long term condition or simply wanting to move with less pain, we tailor everything to your specific condition, lifestyle, goals and preferences.
Specialist clinicians for children, adults, older adults, elite athletes and patients with complex needs. You will always be seen by someone with specific expertise for your stage of life and your condition.
