About Active Women's Clinic
The Active Women's Clinic is a specialist physical health and rehabilitation service focused entirely on the needs of physically active women. According to its website, the clinic was set up specifically to address common sporting injuries and related women's health issues in women of all ages — from those returning to exercise after injury to those looking to train and perform to their full potential. The practice describes its approach as multidisciplinary, bringing together a team of specialists so that each patient receives integrated, coordinated care rather than a single-discipline assessment.
The clinic's team includes Ms Ros Cooke, described on its website as a Specialist Physiotherapist, alongside Dr Kate Hutchings, who the practice states holds FFSEM status — Fellow of the Faculty of Sport and Exercise Medicine. The clinic says its specialists work together to build a comprehensive management plan tailored to each individual's physical activities and sporting goals, with the aim of helping women return to their activities safely and sustainably.
Assessment and diagnosis are described as thorough. The clinic's website states that investigations may include blood tests, imaging such as X-rays, ultrasound, MRI, or bone scanning, and that further reviews may involve specialists across areas including nutrition, physiology, and biomechanics. Patient conditions covered on the clinic's website include stress fractures, osteoporosis, Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S), and vitamin D deficiency — conditions that the site notes are particularly relevant to physically active women. Deep tissue massage is also offered as part of the clinic's physical health services.
The Active Women's Clinic describes its overall aim as providing a comprehensive and integrated management plan that supports women across all levels of physical activity and sporting performance. It is a service designed for women who want specialist, joined-up care that understands the specific physical demands and health considerations of an active lifestyle — whether that means managing an existing injury, investigating an underlying condition, or optimising long-term performance and wellbeing.
