Spring provides residential active rehabilitation programmes, based on successful regimes developed by the Armed Forces at Headley Court in Surrey. The programmes provide goal-directed interdisciplinary services to help clients with a range of musculoskeletal disorders restore function to occupational readiness, manage and reduce pain, and achieve safe durable vocational outcomes.

Clients are monitored and assessed by our remedial therapists for at least 12 months after the course has finished.

The Spring treatment protocols have been developed to meet the NICE Guidelines CG88/2009 definition of a High Intensity Combined Physical and Psychological (CPP) Functional Restoration Programme (FRP) for the Management of Persistent Non Specific Low Back Pain.
