Our evidence-based approach ensures personalized treatment plans that adapt to individual progress and changing needs throughout the recovery process.
Sports Rehabilitation
Specialized sports rehabilitation programs target athletic injuries and performance enhancement. We combine biomechanical analysis with sport-specific training to ensure safe return-to-play protocols. Our treatments integrate strength training, flexibility exercises, and injury prevention strategies tailored to each athlete's competitive requirements and recovery timeline.
Pelvic Floor Therapy
Individualized pelvic floor therapy addresses urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, and postpartum recovery. Through targeted exercises and biofeedback techniques, we help patients improve muscle control and reduce discomfort. Our gender-specific programs address both male and female pelvic health concerns with privacy and professional expertise.
Concussion Management
Comprehensive concussion rehabilitation includes vestibular therapy, visual tracking exercises, and gradual return-to-activity protocols. We monitor cognitive and physical symptoms while implementing progressive treatment strategies. Our approach balances symptom management with structured recovery milestones to ensure complete neurological healing.

Excellent professional service! I had the pleasure of being taken care of by Dr Shahina Shaikh who applied a very thorough and step by step approach to my recovery after a very bad back injury. She is very patient and always explains the reason behind the therapy, focusing on feeling better in the long run. The hours are convenient and the staff at reception always pleasant and professional. I highly recommend Next Step Physio, a place that is able to accommodate and heal all kinds of people and issues. Truly 5 star service!

I had never been to a physiotherapist before and was very happy with my experience with Shahina! I had a sports injury and she had me back and playing in less than two weeks with no pain as well as with tools to prevent injury in the future. I am very impressed and appreciative of her service

I have been going to this clinic for physio over the last couple months and I have zero complaints. The front desk staff and Shahina, the physiotherapist, are great. Shahina is very thorough in her assessments and provides great care. She is very personable and hard working. I highly recommend seeing her if you require physiotherapy.

Highly recommend Shahina! While she provides you with professional and exceptional physiotherapy, her practice also demonstrates excellent holistic care. It's like having a personal trainer, psychologist, physiotherapist, cheer-leader, nutritionist and nurse all in one! The friendly office staff are professional and efficient. Thank you for your support through post operative knee surgery.
