JRM Physiotherapy

JRM Physiotherapy was previously known as the Holme Valley Sports Injury Clinic at Lockwood Park, where it had been established for over 20 years. In 2019 we moved to a newly renovated premises in the heart of Meltham, only a few miles from the previous clinic and easily accessible from both Huddersfield and the Holme Valley. Under the new name of JRM Physiotherapy, we offer physiotherapy treatments in two specialised treatment rooms within a relaxing and modern clinic, with a private customer car park to the rear, and easy access to public transport links. We are situated in the traditional Yorkshire village of Meltham, with many amenities on the doorstep including cafes, bakery, butchers, churches, supermarkets, post office, pubs, beauty salons, hairdressers, and community centre. In addition, in 2024 we launched our home visit service, offering physiotherapy in the comfort of your own home - this service is available within Holmfirth and Huddersfield (please call to discuss availability and prices)

All our physiotherapists are members of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP). and registered with the Health & Care Professions Council (HCPC) – the regulatory body for physiotherapy in the UK. JRM Physiotherapy has achieved Quality Assured Clinic (QAC) status, which means all of our physiotherapists' patient treatment outcomes have been audited by an independent body and assessed as meeting the standard required to be classed as evidence-based Quality Assured Practitioners and the clinic classed as a Quality Assured Clinic. You can find out more about Quality Assured Physiotherapy via Physio First.

We treat adults and older children (for young children under the age of 8 we may recommend a paediatric physiotherapist, please contact us to discuss). We work closely with a number of sporting clubs, including rugby, jiu jitsu, cycling, swimming, and running clubs in the area, and offer discounts for their members (for more info see our prices section).

You do not need a referral to attend for treatment - feel free to contact us for an appointment or view availability & book online. We are also able to take referrals from GPs, private healthcare companies such as BUPA, and many insurance providers for treatment as part of an insurance claim - contact us to discuss. We also offer a service for local employers, whereby you can refer your employees directly to us for treatment to help them speed up recovery time and help them return to work - please feel free to contact us to discuss.
