What Our Patients Say on Google

Verified Google Reviews from patients at our Lurgan and Lisburn clinics.

“If you are having trouble with aches and pains I cannot point you in a better direction. Therapy with John B has relieved my sciatica… Pain went from 8.5/10 to 2.5/10. Unreal. Thank you ATC and thank you John!”

Deborah Dickinson
★★★★★ Lurgan Clinic

“Jonathon at ATC is brilliant, I couldn’t recommend him enough. I had severe pain for months on end… From the first appointment I had noticed a vast improvement, by the 3rd appointment the pain had gone. Plus the girls on the front desk are amazing!”

Darren Mc Avoy
★★★★★ Lurgan Clinic

“I have been going to the clinic and seeing Lindsay for over a month now, after suffering from a bulging disc for 4 months and being in severe pain. Lindsay has been friendly, knowledgeable and has helped my pain levels go down dramatically.”

Rachel Molloy
★★★★★ Lurgan Clinic

“From my initial assessment until I was back able to run, physio Jack Hill was outstanding. Was able to isolate the issue and design a programme to fix me up and alleviate the pain. Very grateful as had been suffering for months!”

Our Chartered Physiotherapists and HCPC-registered clinicians specialise in rapid pain relief, biomechanical rehabilitation, and long-term functional recovery.

Comprehensive Initial Assessment Protocols

Every rehabilitation program begins with an exhaustive 45-to-60-minute clinical evaluation designed to diagnose root causes rather than masking symptoms:

In-Depth Subjective History: We analyze symptom onset, previous injuries, occupational desk posture, athletic training loads, and medical background.

Objective Biomechanical & Postural Analysis: Detailed physical assessment of active and passive joint range of motion (ROM), muscle strength, postural alignment, and movement patterning.

Specialised Orthopaedic & Neurological Testing: Diagnostic testing of peripheral nerves, dermatomes, myotomes, deep tendon reflexes, and ligament stability tests to rule out nerve root compression.

Collaborative Treatment Plan: Clear explanation of your clinical diagnosis, prognosis, expected recovery timelines, and immediate initiation of hands-on treatment alongside a customised digital exercise program.

Musculoskeletal Conditions & Clinical Pillar Guides

Our multidisciplinary team treats a comprehensive range of acute and chronic conditions backed by specialist rehabilitation pathways:

Spinal & Neuropathic Pain: Management for acute lower back strain, disc herniations, spinal stenosis, neck stiffness, postural headaches, and specialised care via our comprehensive sciatica treatment guide (including sciatica and lumbar disc herniation treatment).

Shoulder & Upper Limb Rehabilitation: Advanced diagnosis and loading protocols for rotator cuff tears, subacromial impingement, and frozen shoulder detailed in our rotator cuff injury rehabilitation guide.

Knee Ligament & Sports Injury Rehab: Pre-habilitation, post-surgical care, and return-to-play testing following our ACL and knee ligament rehabilitation protocols, fully integrated with sports massage and compression boots.
