Physiotherapy is used to treat a wide range of sports injuries such as strains, movability and more. Our team at KR specialises in sports injuries.
Kirk’s 30 years’ experience in professional cricket, football and rugby, and Dan’s experience in football means that when it comes to sports injuries, we’ve treated them all.
Our clinic is based in Bath, but we can offer home visits which you can choose when you book one of our physiotherapy services.
Many of our clients are amateur athletes, competing in distance cycling and running events as well as team sports.
Kirk has also worked with the Aquae Sulis swimming team based at the University of Bath and has worked at various private schools in Bath, supporting young athletes’ rehab and conditioning.
Our aim is to get you match fit as quickly as possible, helping to prevent future injuries through re-education and sports-specific rehab.
Whether it’s minor surgery, or something major like a full hip or knee replacement, we can help you recover full strength and mobility quickly and effectively.
As a trusted choice for rehab, local orthopaedic surgeons refer patients to KR Physiotherapy regularly. We take post-operative physiotherapy very seriously, and aim for a successful rehabilitation.
Kirk’s own full hip replacement in 2019 means he has personal experience of managing pain and achieving successful rehab.
Dan’s NHS work means he supports patients of all ages recovering from surgery.
Shoulders problems can come from a range of activities such as sports, heavy lifting and more. And you might not know there are several different types of shoulder injuries such as rotator cuff tears to muscle strains.
We treat a range of shoulder problems with personalised treatments based on the issue that you’re having.
Kirk’s experience in professional cricket (Working with England Cricket, the Indian Premier League, Birmingham Phoenix and Northamptonshire CCC) means is he has expertise in treating shoulder injuries of all kinds.
Our approach at KR Physiotherapy combines a comprehensive assessment and knowledge of shoulder mechanics to support swift recovery and reduce the risk of shoulder problems in future.
We are the go-to physios for a local surgeon who specialises in shoulder problems.
Wrist and elbow injuries are quite common when it comes to sports and work related careers. Some common injuries include tennis elbow, sprains and strains.
These conditions take time to heal and benefit from a combination of rest, offloading, and a structured rehabilitation plan focused on restoring strength and mobility. At KR Physiotherapy, we also use manual therapy and tailored exercises to support recovery.
At KR Physiotherapy we also help patients identify the root cause of the problem and work out how to avoid the problem recurring in future.
Back pain affects around a third of UK adults each year—and neck pain isn’t far behind. In our experience, there’s a strong connection between ongoing pain and poor postural habits, both static (such as sitting or standing) and dynamic (movement-based).
Addressing and correcting these faulty movement patterns is essential to resolving pain and restoring function.
The team at KR Physiotherapy has extensive experience in treating young athletes with spinal pain, including back and neck issues related to scoliosis, stress fractures, or postural strain.
We’ve also worked closely for many years with local spinal surgeons to manage a wide range of conditions, such as discogenic pain, facet joint problems, arthritic changes, and whiplash-associated disorders.
Many patients who come to our clinic have already tried various treatments without success. At KR Physiotherapy, we believe in taking a long-term view—identifying the root cause of your pain and developing a realistic, sustainable self-management plan.
Our goal is lasting relief, not just short-term fixes.
KR Physiotherapy has established strong relationships with local hip and knee surgeons, allowing us to treat a wide range of conditions and support patients throughout their rehabilitation journey. We regularly work with individuals recovering from hip and knee replacements, ACL reconstruction, meniscal repairs, and osteotomy procedures.
Lead physiotherapist Kirk brings a personal perspective to treatment, having undergone a hip replacement himself in 2019. His first-hand experience informs our empathetic and practical approach to post-surgical rehabilitation.
Our team has significant experience treating patella-femoral pain and iliotibial band (ITB) syndrome—both common in runners and cyclists. Thanks to our ongoing work with local schools, we also specialise in managing adolescent knee issues, including Osgood Schlatter’s disease, helping young people return to sport safely and confidently.
We receive regular referrals from a local ankle surgeon and have considerable experience in rehabilitating patients following ankle surgery. Our team is well-versed in the complexities of post-operative recovery and guides each patient through a structured, progressive plan.
With both physiotherapists having a background in sport, we offer in-depth expertise in managing lower limb, ankle, and foot conditions. These include sprains, calf tears, and stress fractures—injuries frequently seen in active individuals and athletes.
When appropriate, patients are referred to Podiatrist Sue Barnett, who works at the Human Analysis Lab (HAL) at UWE. Her advanced biomechanical assessments and insights help support complex rehabilitation cases and improve long-term outcomes.
