Physiotherapy & Dry Needling
Experience, Expertise & Trust in Every Treatment
At Performance Clinic, our physiotherapists bring 20+ years of clinical and elite performance experience, led by Clinical Lead Physiotherapist — Stuart Anderson, Reg. Physio / IMS, MSc Performance Psychology. Mr. Anderson is Performance Clinic founder with vast international experience — from Cirque du Soleil to Olympic athletes and the Royal Ballet. He combines manual therapy with mental performance coaching, helping clients heal and perform at their best. His unique mind–body approach has been celebrated by athletes, performers, and professionals worldwide.
Our team integrates manual therapy, dry needling (IMS/NFDN™), movement analysis, rehabilitative exercise, and mental performance coaching to deliver personalized, high-impact recovery. Treatment often includes osteopathic techniques, myofascial and neural release, taping, health education—and, when appropriate, ultrasound-guided injections by Dr. Min Woo, such as prolotherapy.
