We’re delighted to announce Indergaard Physiotherapy as the winner of Physiotherapy Practice of the Year at the My Local Awards 2026 Yorkshire.
This award celebrates practices that combine clinical excellence, innovation and outstanding patient care, and Indergaard Physiotherapy is a truly deserving winner. As a multi-site specialist MSK physiotherapy group across Yorkshire, the practice has built a strong reputation for helping people get back to doing what they love, whether that means returning to elite sport, lifting a grandchild without pain or simply moving through daily life with greater comfort and confidence.
What makes this win so meaningful is that it reflects the trust of the patients they serve. Indergaard Physiotherapy combines evidence-based treatment with advanced technologies such as extracorporeal shockwave therapy and diagnostic ultrasound, but at the heart of the business is something even more important: a genuine commitment to treating every patient as an individual.
Built on a belief that patients deserve more
Founded in 2004, Indergaard Physiotherapy was created around a simple but powerful idea: patients deserve more than short-term pain relief. They deserve to understand their bodies, access the best available treatments and work with clinicians who genuinely care about getting them back to full function.
That belief still shapes everything the practice does today. Over the years, Indergaard Physiotherapy has grown from a single clinic into a multi-site practice across Yorkshire, while continuing to maintain high clinical standards and strong patient satisfaction. That kind of growth is impressive in itself, but it becomes even more meaningful when a business manages to scale without losing the quality and care that made people trust it in the first place.
The team has clearly stayed focused on that balance. Growth has never been about becoming bigger for the sake of it. It has been about reaching more people with the same thoughtful, expert and patient-centred care.
What makes Indergaard Physiotherapy stand out
One of the biggest things that sets Indergaard Physiotherapy apart is its investment in education, expertise and advanced treatment technologies. The practice has worked hard to stay at the forefront of modern physiotherapy, making sure patients have access to specialist care that is grounded in evidence and shaped by the latest developments in the field.
Their use of extracorporeal shockwave therapy and diagnostic ultrasound is a strong example of that forward-thinking approach. These tools allow the team to assess and treat patients with greater precision, but what really matters is how that technology is used: as part of a highly personalised treatment plan, not as a replacement for individual care.
That is where Indergaard Physiotherapy truly stands out. Evidence-based practice is not treated as a fashionable phrase. It is simply how they operate every day. Their clinicians are encouraged to keep developing their expertise, and every patient is treated as a person with their own story, goals and challenges, not as a standard protocol to be followed.
Individual wins that matter most
Although growing into a successful multi-site group is a major milestone, Indergaard Physiotherapy is clear that the moments that matter most are the individual patient wins. Those are the stories that really define the practice.
Sometimes it is the runner who thought they would never compete again. Sometimes it is the grandparent who can finally lift their grandchild without pain. Sometimes it is the athlete who returns stronger than before, or the person who had lost faith in their body but goes on to achieve something they thought was no longer possible.
One of the most moving things the team shared is that they regularly work with patients who arrive feeling hopeless, often after seeing multiple health professionals or undergoing major surgery. Through a tailored approach and the right support, they have helped people go on to run marathons, climb mountains and even walk their daughter down the aisle without support. Those are not just treatment outcomes. They are life moments, and they show exactly why this kind of work matters.
Building excellence across Yorkshire
One of the biggest challenges for Indergaard Physiotherapy has been maintaining consistent clinical excellence across multiple sites. As any growing healthcare business knows, it is one thing to provide exceptional care in one clinic. It is another to ensure patients receive the same standard everywhere.
The way they have tackled that speaks volumes about the quality of the organisation. By developing a strong internal training system, mentoring structure and clinical framework, they have created a culture where every clinician is supported to deliver the same high-quality care no matter which site they work from.
That investment in people is also one of the proudest parts of the business. The team takes real satisfaction in seeing junior clinicians grow into confident, skilled practitioners who truly embody the values of the practice. That internal culture matters enormously because it shapes the patient experience in every room, every day.
A trusted part of the local community
Indergaard Physiotherapy’s impact extends well beyond the clinic walls. The practice has treated local athletes, sports teams and community members who may not otherwise have had access to specialist physiotherapy, helping more people benefit from high-quality care close to home.
They also believe in sharing knowledge, not just services. Through educational content, the team helps people understand injuries, recovery and their options, whether those people become patients or not. That willingness to educate and empower reflects the wider philosophy of the practice: to help people make informed decisions about their health rather than simply treating symptoms in isolation.
Their connection to the local area is clearly something they value deeply. Over time, they have become part of the fabric of people’s lives, often seeing patients return with new issues or recommending the practice to family and friends. That kind of loyalty says everything. It shows that Indergaard Physiotherapy is not just a service people use once. It is a trusted part of their ongoing health journey.
What this award means
When Indergaard Physiotherapy found out they had won Physiotherapy Practice of the Year, the reaction was one of genuine shock and pride. That response feels especially fitting because this award was voted for by patients, making it direct recognition from the people whose opinions matter most.
For the team, the win validates everything they work towards every day. It is recognition of their dedication, their investment in continuing education and the genuine care they bring to every patient interaction. It also reinforces something they clearly believe strongly in: that when you focus on outcomes, honesty, trust and education, people notice.
This award means a great deal because it is, in many ways, the patients’ way of saying thank you. And for a practice built so strongly around patient relationships, that kind of recognition carries real weight.
Looking ahead, Indergaard Physiotherapy plans to continue expanding its advanced treatment capabilities while investing even further in team development. Their vision for the future is clear: combining clinical expertise with technology and evidence-based innovation, while never losing sight of the individual person in front of them.
