Physio Performance:
Belfast’s Leading Physiotherapy
& Sports Injury Clinic
At Physio Performance, we’re passionate about helping you move better, feel stronger, and live pain-free.
Based in Belfast, we specialise in physiotherapy and sports injury management for people who want to perform at their best, whether you’re recovering from injury, managing a long-term condition, or aiming to reach new goals.
Our expert team of physiotherapists delivers personalised, hands-on care grounded in the latest evidence-based techniques.
We take the time to understand your unique needs and develop tailored treatment plans that address the root cause of your issue, not just the symptoms.
We believe in a holistic approach to health and performance. The body works as a chain, so we go beyond the obvious to find and treat underlying imbalances that may be holding you back.
Our mission is simple: to help active people and athletes of all levels overcome injury and return to doing what they love, with confidence.
What sets us apart?
Excellence – We never stop learning. Our team stays ahead through ongoing education and development to bring you the best in physiotherapy.
World-Class Treatment – Whether you’re a weekend runner or a professional athlete, you deserve the same high standard of care.
No Stone Unturned – We assess the body as a whole to identify all contributing factors to your injury.
Detailed – Our thorough assessments ensure an accurate diagnosis and the right treatment from day one.
Committed – Your injury becomes our mission. If we can help, we will. If we can’t, we’ll guide you to someone who can.
At Physio Performance, we don’t just treat injuries—we build lasting relationships, empower you with knowledge, and support you every step of the way towards lasting results.
All of our therapists follow our proven performance care system. You will always be in expert hands.
