Our Technology

Innovative Treatments That Help You Move, Perform & Feel Better

We don’t just watch you run, we use tech to show you how you run. Using the RS Footscan pressure pad, we can show you exactly how your feet move, taking the guessing away.

Hand-held dynamometry is a tool used to measure muscle strength and force. It provides accurate, objective data for assessing muscle function and aids in monitoring progress and guiding treatment plans. Pairing this with the Move Health App, you will be sent your data immediately so that you can see exactly where you’re at, and what you need to focus on.

We use VALD ForceDecks to assess strength, balance, and function with pinpoint accuracy. This cutting-edge tech helps us track progress, prevent injury, and build you back stronger than ever. From how much weight goes through each leg to the forces produced when jumping, it gives us huge amounts of data.

All physiotherapy assessments and treatment plans are grounded in evidence-based practice, focused on delivering measurable outcomes.

I was referred to Reflex-18 earlier this year for a chronic injury that had been steadily getting worse, and I’m so thankful that I found them. Josh Harvey has been amazing throughout my recovery/rehabilitation journey. He truly listens, looks at my case from multiple angles, centres his approach around evidence and tailors a plan that focuses on reducing pain while improving my overall strength, movement, stability and function. As a dancer, it means a lot that he took my specific goals into account and adapted my treatment accordingly. Josh explains everything clearly, often drawing diagrams, mapping out timelines, and breaking down exactly why the issue may be happening. His detailed approach and structured recovery plan (including strategies for managing pain while dancing) have helped me make steady progress. Reflex-18 have also recently opened new classes, and I’ve really enjoyed the Pilates classes I started attending. Overall, I would 100% recommend Reflex-18 to anyone dealing with a persistent niggle or long-standing injury. Without Josh’s help, I would likely still be in the level of pain I was experiencing at the beginning of this year. I’m extremely grateful for the care and support I’ve received from Reflex-18.

I have had a few sessions now at Reflex-18 and I have really been impressed. I saw both Helen and Josh, who were both very professional and knowledgeable. The plan and advice they gave me has really helped me and I am no longer suffering the pain I had. Thoroughly recommend Reflex-18!

I came to James after suffering from a back injury in preparation for a marathon. He was thorough in trying to understand the root cause, not just the symptoms, and was instrumental on my road to recovery. Highly recommend for sports injuries.

Tyler has been a revelation as both a Personal Trainer and Masseur. My wife and I have been working with him as a PT for several weeks and more recently I have seen him for two massages. In both respects he has proved himself to be a skilled and enthusiastic professional with an engaging manner and a keenness to educate. He is certainly making a positive impact on our physical conditioning and wellbeing. We have no hesitation in recommending him to others.
