About Northwell
Who we are
Good care starts with listening.
Northwell Health & Performance is an independent physiotherapy, rehabilitation and performance clinic in Manchester. Since 2011 we have helped more than ten thousand people recover from injury, manage long-term conditions and get more from their bodies, and we have worked with hundreds of organisations to build healthier workplaces.
We are deliberately not a conveyor belt. Appointments are unhurried, plans are personal and every clinician is experienced enough to explain not just what to do, but why.
Founded on a simple idea.
Northwell was founded in Manchester in 2011 by Dr Eleanor Whitfield, a physiotherapist who had spent a decade in hospital and sports settings watching good clinicians run out of time. She wanted a clinic where appointments were long enough to listen, where treatment plans were built for the individual and where physiotherapy, rehabilitation and performance coaching sat together rather than in separate buildings.
Fifteen years and more than ten thousand appointments later, that is still what we do.
Lasting results, not quick fixes.
Our mission is to help people move better, feel better and perform better for the long term. That means treating the cause rather than the symptom, teaching people what they need to look after themselves and measuring whether what we do actually works.
It also means looking beyond the clinic. Through our workplace programmes we help organisations across the North West build environments where people stay healthy in the first place.
Experienced people who take the time to listen.
Our clinicians and coaches bring more than fifteen years of combined specialist experience, and a shared belief that the best results come from understanding the whole person.

A more considered approach to health.
Every programme at Northwell follows the same four-stage framework. It keeps our care consistent, keeps you informed and keeps progress measurable.
Understand
Every programme begins with a thorough assessment. We take time to understand your history, your goals and the demands of your daily life before we suggest anything.
Plan
You receive a clear, personalised plan with realistic milestones, so you always know what we are working towards and why.
Progress
We measure what matters and adjust as you improve, keeping every session purposeful and your recovery on track.
Perform
The aim is not just to feel better today, but to move with confidence and perform at your best for the long term.
