Some of the problems we treat include; sports injuries, stress and anxiety, back pain, digestive problems, migraines, concussion, repetitive and overuse injuries, arthritic pain and stiffness, joint pain, postural problems, muscle soreness and tension.
Our qualified practitioners also specialise in the assessment and treatment of athletes and performing artists, both in training and working professionals, within the on-site treatment clinic at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance. Not only do all of our therapists have a particular interest in performing artists’ injuries and injury prevention, but many have had first-hand experience of being a performing artist or have worked with performing artists for many years, gaining vast experience in the field.
Our range of therapies aim to support performing artists using specialist knowledge of the specific demands placed upon the body, and appropriate techniques to prevent or aid in the rehabilitation of an injury. Trinity Laban Health supports performing artists not only in their training development, but in their everyday lives.
Our health treatments are available at a range of times, including evening and weekend appointments.
