Physiotherapy built around you

A painful shoulder, troublesome knee or recurring back problem can make even simple tasks feel difficult. META offers assessment and treatment for a wide range of muscle, joint and movement problems, including:

• Back and neck pain

• Shoulder, hip and knee pain

• Muscle strains and tendon injuries

• Sports and overuse injuries

• Work-related aches and movement difficulties

• Rehabilitation following surgery

Each appointment starts with understanding the problem, alongside the client's lifestyle, work and training demands. Treatment may combine hands-on therapy, tailored exercises, movement advice and practical ways to manage activity.

There's no need for a GP referral, so clients can book directly with the clinic.

Experience from elite sport to everyday life

Clinic owner and lead physiotherapist Matt Parker brings extensive experience from elite sport, having worked at academy, senior and international team levels. His background also includes the NHS and public health sector.

Matt is a Chartered Physiotherapist and UKSCA-accredited Strength and Conditioning Coach. His qualifications include a BSc in Sports Science, a Masters of Research and an MSc in Physiotherapy, alongside further training in sports massage, acupuncture and anthropometric assessment.

The wider META team includes personal training and strength and conditioning coaches, plus yoga and Pilates instructors, bringing a range of skills together under one roof.

Sports injury rehabilitation and performance

For anyone keen to return to training or competition, META’s sports injury clinic offers assessment and rehabilitation tailored to their sport and goals. Using leading VALD technology, including force plates, handheld dynamometry and velocity testing systems, the team carries out comprehensive assessments to optimise performance and inform return-to-lifting, training, running and sport criteria, helping to manage the risk of re-injury.

Strength and conditioning programmes provide structured support for developing strength, fitness and physical performance. Personal training is also available, with guidance shaped around the individual’s starting point and ambitions.

Whether someone is new to exercise or has years of training behind them, the focus is on a programme that suits their needs and helps them make steady progress.

Sports massage for more than sportspeople

You don't have to be an athlete to book a sports massage. Muscle tightness and tension can come from exercise, hours at a desk or the physical demands of everyday work.

META tailors each session to the client's needs, using a range of soft tissue techniques with pressure adjusted to suit their comfort. Sports massage can form part of a recovery routine or provide support for people experiencing stiffness, sore muscles and restricted movement.

A clearer picture of your progress

META also offers physical performance testing for clients who want a more detailed understanding of their strength, power, fitness and movement.

Testing options include force plate analysis, Wattbike power profiling, strength diagnostics, capacity testing and body composition assessment. Results are translated into practical recommendations to help guide training or rehabilitation, with repeat testing available to track progress over time.

Yoga and Pilates in Aldridge

Alongside its treatment and training services, META offers yoga, mat Pilates and Reformer Pilates, providing further opportunities to work on strength, control and movement.

These sessions complement the clinic's wider approach to helping people stay active, with a focus on core strength, posture, stability and controlled movement.

Barista Coffee to Go

META also has a barista-style coffee machine serving freshly brewed takeaway coffees, from Americanos and lattes to cappuccinos and machas. Whether you're heading to an appointment or a class, it's a handy opportunity to pick up your favourite coffee.
