Integrated rehab inside a performance gym

At Complx, physiotherapy is delivered inside a fully equipped training facility. Niall's rehab programs use the same gym floor clients use for personal training — making the transition from treatment to performance seamless.

Treatment Approach

Beyond pain relief.
Back to performance.

Niall's approach goes beyond getting you pain-free. The goal is building the strength, resilience and movement quality to stay injury-free long-term.

Hands-On Treatment
Manual therapy, joint mobilisation and soft tissue work combined with exercise for better, longer-lasting results.
Evidence-Based Rehab
Programs grounded in current clinical evidence. What works for your specific injury and physiology.
Strength Programming
Getting you pain-free is the start. Building the strength to stay that way is the goal.
Education-Driven
Understanding why your injury happened is part of the treatment. Niall gives you the tools to manage your body independently.

GY

Rehab happens in a fully equipped gym, not a small treatment room. Real equipment. Real movements.
What Clients Say

“I went to see the team at Complx with severe back spasm. After my initial visit, I knew I was in exactly the right place. They are extremely knowledgeable and thorough — I wouldn't have recovered as quickly as I did without the integrated approach.”
