How it works

- Come to your appointment. You’ll be seen at SportsDock (Docklands Campus) or the Health and Wellbeing Centre (Stratford Campus).
- First visit: assessment. We’ll talk through your injury, test movement and strength, and explain what’s going on.
- Treatment and plan. You may receive hands-on treatment and a clear rehab plan with exercises to do between sessions.
- Follow-ups if needed. We’ll review progress and update your plan over additional sessions.
- Pay only if you’re a community user. Students and staff are treated for free. Community users pay £5 per session.

It was a good experience to take part in the Sports Clinic and be assessed by work-based practitioners. They were able to use their knowledge and put it into practice with us as real-life examples. I felt they were very professional and thorough as well as caring and encouraging."
