Our Aim

AH Physiotherapy & Sports Performance aims to drive the standard of Physiotherapy forwards across Chesterfield and the surrounding areas. There’s nothing worse than waiting weeks to see a therapist, and being told to go away and ‘stretch it’ or be given a list of 15 exercises to complete at home every day with no guidance or progressive plan in place.

We value every minute of your rehabilitation journey with us, starting the moment you sit down for your initial assessment, whether that be in person or online. We listen to your story, your goals and expectations and follow this up with a thorough assessment which allows us to develop personalised treatment and rehabilitation plans that are progressive towards your end goal.

We are very proactive in our approach, and believe remaining active around injuries, and strengthening as soon as appropriate is key to making a safe and speedy recovery.

Every session we aim to spend time within the gym, working through your rehab plan, going over the finer details, ensuring correct technique and understanding of the reasons why we are doing these movements.

Recovery is never straight forwards, and we pride ourselves in being able to take a step back, review, and adjust management plans to ensure the best standard of care is delivered.

Physio and sports performance.
