Physiotherapy in Kendal

Live the life you dream of free from worry and pain

Our approach is based on listening to our patients and taking the time to understand your problem.

Following a thorough assessment, we develop a treatment plan that details your journey from where you are now to where you want to be so you know what to expect and when.

Our pain to performance approach follows 3-steps:

  1. Remove your pain: We use hands on techniques and exercises to give you fast relief and get you moving.
  2. Restore your movement: Correct the way your body moves. We perform a biomechanical and postural assessment and use exercise to help restore full mobility, stability and strength.
  3. Improve your performance: Reach your health and performance goals through strength and conditioning and you have the option of joining our in-house exercise classes to help keep you fit and healthy.

I fully recommend. They're a very professional and friendly outfit. I had several issues to resolve and Ben has been excellent in listening, diagnosing and identifying the best exercises and course of action I needed. I'm very grateful. Thank you.

I chose Kendal Physio because of the running program they offer after a deluge of calf strains. I was really happy to work with John (an experienced runner himself) who developed a strengthening routine that has helped me return to running with confidence. An all round great experience that I would recommend to anyone.

I have been to see Ben Lowther a few times this last couple of months .He was brilliant...explained exactly what was going on .Manipulation and stretching and then strengthening exercises have solved my acutely painful upper back/shoulder pain . I have no hesitation in recommending Ben .

Really pleased with the quality of care provided by Reema at Kendal Physio. She really listened to me and was very thorough. I had many many questions and she was always happy to answer these. She was quickly able to help with my problem. Would happily recommend. The reception team and booking process were also amazing! Thank you

Alison was very thorough and recommended a range of exercises to strengthen my knees and wrists. I liked Alison’s straightforward and pleasant approach.

A private musculoskeletal and sports rehabilitation clinic in Kendal provides comprehensive assessments and targeted treatments for joint pain, muscle strains, and athletic injuries. Services typically include manual therapy, exercise prescription, and sports massage to optimise physical function, enhance recovery, and restore complete mobility for patients.

You do not need a referral from your doctor to book an appointment with our specialist team. Whether you are dealing with a sudden running injury from training near Scout Scar or managing ongoing back pain, you can contact us directly for an immediate clinical assessment.

We make accessing expert private care straightforward for all our local residents. Simply book online or call our friendly reception staff to arrange your first visit.

Please wear loose fitting and comfortable clothing that allows you to move easily during your physical evaluation. If you are seeking help for a specific issue like a knee problem aggravated by cycling through the Cumbrian fells, wearing shorts ensures your physiotherapist can properly examine the joint.

For sports specific injury assessments, please bring your regular training shoes and athletic wear so we can accurately observe your natural movement patterns.

The timeframe for recovery depends entirely on the type and severity of your specific injury. Following your comprehensive initial assessment, your dedicated therapist will create a highly personalised rehabilitation plan that outlines your expected progress and recovery milestones.

While minor muscle tweaks may heal in a few weeks, returning to competitive local sports after a major ligament sprain will require a longer, structured conditioning programme to ensure you regain full strength safely.
