welcome
Apex Clinic was established in 1998 by chartered physiotherapist, Rebecca Nelson. The practice expanded to the extent that a purpose built clinic was completed in 2001 in the Stormont area to accommodate the growing demand for our specialist services. The range of services which we offer has expanded over the years and we now boast a multidisciplinary team of seven full time physiotherapists, three podiatrists headed by Martin McGeough, a chiropodist, a massage therapist and a Consultant in pain management.
All of our practitioners have many years of experience treating injuries from the non-sports participant to the elite athlete. Let our professionals explain to you why you hurt and how they can help. They will ensure that you receive the highest quality treatment and advice to facilitate a speedy recovery. We treat the cause of your problem and not just get rid of your pain.

We believe in the prevention of potential foot conditions as well as curing existing conditions. For example a build up of hard skin on your feet from prolonged periods of standing, or from regular running in sport can eventually crack and become painful if left untreated. We treat male and female patients alike, from children to older folk.
podiatryPodiatrists are professionals who specialise in the diagnosis and treatment of pains which are related to poor foot function, such as painful conditions affecting the feet, ankles, shins, calves and even the knees, hips and lower back. Our podiatrists treat a wide spectrum of patients from the non-sports participant to the elite athlete who has pain related to their feet. The early detection of poor foot function such as flat feet, fallen arches or high arched feet can prevent the person from developing associated problems later on in life. The podiatry team is headed by Martin McGeough who has over 20 years of experience of successfully treating painful feet and related conditions.

massage therapyOur fully qualified massage therapist specialises in deep soft tissue massage, sports massage and relaxation massage. Massage can be used to improve the health and flexibility of muscles by increasing the blood circulation and accelerating the healing process if muscle injury has occurred.
It can be used on a preventative basis before any muscle pain has occurred. In this case any muscle knots or trigger points will be worked on to release them. These muscle knots may be work related or may have occurred due to the physical stresses of every day living. Massage can also be very effective at relieving a feeling of generalised tension in muscles particularly around the neck and shoulders and lower back area. Sports massage can achieve a faster recovery time and reduce down time allowing you to return to sports more quickly.
When it is appropriate our massage therapist works closely with our physiotherapists and uses massage to compliment physiotherapy treatment ensuring the best possible outcome for our clients.
