Some of our clinic rooms are at ground level, others are on the first floor. Unfortunately, there isn't a lift in the building but we can make arrangements so that wheelchair users are seen on the ground floor in a larger space. There is a small 8cm high curb at the front of the building, a ramp then leads you to our front door. If you have certain access requirements or questions about accessibility, please contact us on hello@shieldsportstherapy.co.uk to discuss and we'll be glad to help you.
