Jay Cunningham
What we offer
Jay Cunningham is a consultant musculoskeletal physiotherapist with specialised skills and experience in hip, pelvic and back pain. The recommended approaches to diagnosing and managing hip pain have evolved in recent years, with rapidly emerging research and clinical evidence.

- Assessment as a first contact practitioner to accurately diagnose and devise a treatment plan for your pain/problem
