Physiotherapy in Colchester

At Reflex-18, we do things differently. Our physiotherapy approach is built around one clear philosophy: measure, intervene, re-measure. It’s how we make sure your treatment is not just working — but actually getting you closer to your goals.

 

Using cutting-edge tools like handheld dynamometers and VALD ForceDecks, we start by measuring exactly how your body is moving and performing. This gives us a clear, objective picture of what’s going on — and where we need to focus.

 

From there, we tailor your treatment using the perfect blend of targeted exercise and hands-on therapy. Whether you’re getting back from injury, managing pain, or working toward a performance goal, we’ll guide you every step of the way with clear plans, constant tracking, and real results you can see and feel.

 

Our physios in Colchester aren’t just experts — they’re genuinely passionate about helping you move better, feel stronger, and stay pain-free. We’ll always explain the “why” behind what we do, because when you understand the process, you’re more empowered in your recovery.

 

From the moment you walk through our doors, you’ll feel that energy — and know you’re in the right place.

Next, we’ll carry out a thorough physical assessment, using a mix of hands-on expertise and cutting-edge tools like ForceDecks and handheld dynamometry to get a clear, measurable understanding of what’s going on.
