‘Three generations of physiotherapists’
Richmond Physiotherapy Clinic & Sports Injury Centre, located at Richmond House in Cheshire, has been established for over 50 years across three generations of family.

Initially opened in the early 50’s by Physiotherapist Jack Griffiths, a former Manchester United football player. Before retiring in 1980 he was joined by his son, Keith Griffiths.

Our Treatments & services
Assessment Process
At the initial assessment a detailed history is taken of the injury or condition and the events leading up to it including any other relevant medical history.
You will then be examined to determine the cause of the injury and to identify what the nature of the injury is. These findings will be discussed with you and a treatment plan formatted.
Treatment Stage
This usually involves one of the methods below. You will commence a simple exercise programme that will be progressed depending on your improvement during the treatment period.
At the conclusion of your treatment programme you will be advised on what measures are necessary to maintain your current status and prevention of recurrence.
Massage Therapy
Massage therapy is used effectively on its own or in conjunction with a course of physiotherapy to relieve tension, pain and stiffness. It enhances the recovery process, encourages relaxation and improves the mobility of muscles.
JOINT MOBILISATION
Joint mobilisation is a skilled passive movement of the articular surfaces. It is used to restore small, involuntary movements that encourage the joints to work at their optimum, increasing range of movement and helps with pain.
EXERCISE THERAPY
Exercise therapy is used by the physiotherapist both during treatment and as a self-management technique to increase recovery time. Exercise therapy helps to improve mobility, increase Strength and reduce pain.
ELECTROTHERAPY
Electrotherapy is a treatment technique using electrical energy machines such as ultrasound, interferential and TENS. The machine depends on the patient’s condition, helping to reduce pain and enhance the recovery process.
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy, also known as extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), is a non-invasive treatment that uses sound waves to treat chronic pain and soft tissue injuries. It is often used by physiotherapists to treat conditions like plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, and tennis elbow.
- A hand-held probe sends high-energy sound waves into the body
- The shock waves increase blood circulation and break down scar tissue
- This stimulates cell regeneration and promotes healing
