Welcome to Fay Pedler Physiotherapy

The Fay Pedler Physiotherapy Clinic was established in 1988 and has increased in reputation and size ever since.  We are the largest independent private physiotherapy clinic in Plymouth and through our constant professional development we reach the highest standards set by our professional bodies. 

At  Fay Pedler Physiotherapy  we seek to treat patients with dignity and respect at all times.  We do this by continually aspiring to make a difference in the lives of clients and by providing treatment within a caring and confidential environment.

What is Physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy helps restore movement and function following an injury, illness or disability using hands-on therapy, along with exercise and advice.  Physiotherapists are professionals trained in the accurate diagnosis and treatment of pain and injury.  After taking a detailed history and understanding how your problems affect you, we conduct a thorough physical examination which involves testing structures such as muscles, nerves, joints, ligaments and tendons in order to establish the source of your pain or injury.  Once a diagnosis is established, we will embark on treatment specific to your problem that takes into account your lifestyle and expectations.  We will discuss the problem in detail with you and we will also give you advice on how to prevent your injury returning.

Fay Pedler Physiotherapy offers a team of specialists expertly trained and experienced to ensure you receive appropriate treatment.  Our ethically motivated business offers each patient a thorough assessment, and our treatments include:

  • Hands-on treatment to reduce pain and stiffness via joint mobilisation, manipulation and soft tissue massage
