No matter what level of ability you are, our Running Lab will suit you; whether you’re a seasoned runner or just starting out, we can provide you with an in-depth assessment to ensure you avoid injury or assist in your recovery from injury.

Bike Lab

Cyclists of any level or ability will benefit considerably by having their cycling position assessed and adjusted. Similarly, cyclists suffering from injury or pain that could be cycling-related may find that the solution is an assessment of their cycling position.

Ski Lab

If you have already booked your next Ski or Snowboarding trip and want to get fit to maximise your enjoyment, our Ski Lab can help. Similarly, if you have never taken to the slopes before and are not sure whether you would be fit enough to try, Shepherds’ Health is here to help.

Strength & Conditioning / Personal Training

Peak performance or returning to normal movement all require strength and power and the benefits of strength and conditioning training is undeniable. Building strength within your muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and joints is what keeps up winning and moving.

Sports Massage

There is often confusion around Physiotherapy treatment vs Sports Massage and which practitioner will be able to provide the right treatment for acute pain or injury.

The short answer is both!

Neuro Rehab Physiotherapy

Living with a neurological condition can have an impact on your quality of life, from hobbies you love to everyday tasks we can help you identify realistic and personalised goals to help you move better, feel better and live better.

Vestibular Rehabilitation

Vestibular rehabilitation is a special type of physiotherapy. It is a proven, evidence-based method of treating patients who suffer from dizziness, loss of balance and vertigo.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is one of the many skills utilised either on its own or as part of an integrated, multi-dimensional approach to the management of pain and inflammation.

Kinesiology Taping is a rehabilitative taping technique designed to facilitate the body’s natural healing process.

"Dear Jon and James, I am writing to thank you both very much for the incredible rehabilitation work on my back. After receiving medical diagnosis of an L4-5 disc bulge impacting my sciatic nerve and surgery recommended, I thought my running days were over. However, thanks to your combined rehabilitation, physio and strengthening programme, I have just completed the Chicago marathon within 15 seconds of my personal best. Thank you both! I fully recommend your services and will continue on your programme to ensure I can continue running. With best regards

"Since becoming a patient of Shepherds’ Health Ltd with various health issues, I have always found the care & attention I have received when being treated by either Jon Shepherd or James Taylor to be exemplary, my appointment always begins with a discussion of what is happening with my health & any changes that may have occurred since my last appointment, I am pleased to say that my general health & wellbeing has improved immensely since I first began attending the clinic, so much so that my appointments now regularly act as my MOT rather than being the acute & sometimes desperately needed treatments when first attending the clinic. So with that in view I have no hesitation in recommending Shepherds Health Ltd to anyone with health issues, as Jon & James are the two people I personally call on when in need of treatment & support."

"For over 10 years I have been receiving support from Shepherds Health for long term problems. My treatments have included Physiotherapy, Acupuncture and Pilates. For all treatments I have found all the staff approachable, empathetic and understanding of the impact of pain and discomfort on a person’s life. I particularly like that they consider the whole body not just focusing on where you are experiencing pain and discomfort. They are always realistic about life changes one can make during treatment. In my experience they are honest about what they can achieve and do not push you into long programmes of expensive treatment which are unnecessary. I have no qualms about recommending them to my friends and family."

"I have been attending Shepherd’s Health for over 10 Years receiving excellent treatment for long term health conditions. I have attended group and individual Pilates classes, received regular physio and acupuncture treatment. The treatment I have received from Shepherd’s Health is also delivered in an empathic and professional manner. I am confident in the advice I am given and never feel unnecessary treatments are adviced. Over the years I have recommended Shepherds to many of my friends and family and the feedback has always been positive."

"Having had back pain episodes for the last 20 years and been treated for the back pain with Osteopathy / physio in the past, this is the first time anybody has linked it to, and treated the underlying cause, which was adhesions. (Major surgery in 1974, followed by surgery for adhesions in 1996). During each session, I can feel the tightness ease and start to move around again. After seeing Jemma for a few sessions, and now seeing Jon – it is really interesting to learn about how they ‘see’ and approach realigning and making my body move."

"I tore my ACL and skiing and had it reconstructed in May. It was the first time I have ever had an operation and was incredibly nervous to hurt or damage my knee after surgery. I didn’t really know what to expect. Jon and James have not only helped me get back to walking normally, but they have given me the confidence back in trusting my knee and body. I’m now 11 weeks of seeing them every week and frankly I don’t think I would be up and about as quick if I hadn’t come into Shepherd’s Health. They are helping me get back on track and give me lots of reassurance when I need it and an excellent rehab plan each week, so I can get back to my active lifestyle. I can’t thank them enough for their help, and I always leave the clinic smiling, and feel more confident than when I came it - thank you guys."

"I would just like to say how grateful I am to both Fiona Hever and Jim McLagan for their help over the last few months. I came to Shepherd’s Health feeling old and fatigued and with a long term back issue and painful arthritis in both knees. I felt like I would never feel healthy again. Fiona listened to all of my issues and has worked magic on me, within one session I felt like I could move more freely and after three sessions felt ready to start to build strength. She then referred me to Jim. I have had six sessions with Jim now and he has gently encouraged me to strengthen my back and knees. I feel like a different person! I feel more confident by and strong enough to take on the next few months on tour with work. I would highly recommend both to anyone interested in improving their health. "
