Physiotherapy for Parkhead
Five roads meet at Parkhead Cross, and one of them, the A89, heads almost straight to the door of Chapman Physiotherapy & Performance in Coatbridge. That makes the clinic at 10 Cameron Street a practical choice for anyone in Parkhead who wants to see a physiotherapist without waiting for a referral.
Kieran Chapman, the clinic's HCPC registered physiotherapist, works across MSK physiotherapy, orthopaedics, neurological physiotherapy and cardiac rehab. So alongside the usual sports strains and bad backs, the clinic is equipped to help people regaining movement after surgery or building confidence and fitness after a heart problem.
Each appointment gives you 45 minutes on your own with Kieran. Book online whenever suits you, with live availability that includes evening and Saturday slots.

Parkhead
Match days, the velodrome and a district built on steel
Celtic Park has been home to Celtic since 1892, and it is Scotland's largest football stadium by seating capacity. Most people simply call it Parkhead. Across London Road in Dalmarnock stand the arena and the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome, both built for the 2014 Commonwealth Games. The velodrome has a 250 metre indoor track, and the complex also holds a large sports hall and five a side pitches.
That puts an unusual mix of sport within walking distance. Track and road cyclists often develop knee pain or a stiff lower back from long hours on the bike, while indoor court sports like badminton bring quick changes of direction that can strain ankles and calves. Football, from Sunday league to casual kickabouts, remains the area's first love, and with it come hamstring tears and twisted knees.
Parkhead also has a long industrial memory. William Beardmore and Company's Parkhead Forge produced high grade steel until 1976, and the Forge Shopping Centre stands on the site today. Retail, warehousing, driving and care work have taken over much of the heavy lifting, and jobs that keep you on your feet or behind a wheel all day can leave a lasting toll on the neck, back and knees.
Areas covered
- Parkhead Cross
- Camlachie
- Dalmarnock
- Haghill
- Lilybank
- Carntyne
Beyond Parkhead Cross itself, the clinic sees patients from Camlachie to the west, Dalmarnock around the stadium and velodrome, Haghill towards Dennistoun, Lilybank on the Tollcross side and Carntyne to the north east. Each of these connects easily to the A89 or the M8, and Carntyne and Bellgrove stations put the Airdrie line within reach for anyone heading to Coatbridge by train.
Treatment
What Kieran can help with
Injury assessment
The first appointment is an assessment. Kieran listens to the story behind the problem, tests how the area moves and how strong it is, and explains his findings. If you are recovering from an operation or a cardiac event, he will take that history into account when planning what comes next.

Rehabilitation
Rehab is built around hands-on treatment and a structured exercise plan. You follow the exercises through your own online account, which shows what to do and how much, and Kieran adjusts the programme at each visit as you improve.

Deep tissue and sports massage
For tight, overworked muscles, Kieran offers deep tissue and sports massage. Cyclists with stiff hips, footballers with heavy calves and people whose shoulders take a pounding at work all tend to find it worthwhile, either as a standalone session or within a course of treatment.

Acupuncture, cupping and taping
Acupuncture and cupping are available where they suit your treatment, and taping can help support a joint as you get back to sport or work. Kieran will always talk you through the purpose of each before starting.

Questions
Coming from Parkhead
Will a Celtic Park match day affect getting to the clinic?
Parkhead Cross and the roads around the stadium get very busy on match days, so allow extra time or use the M8 instead of the A89 through the east end. The train from Carntyne or Bellgrove avoids the traffic altogether.
Does Kieran treat cyclists?
Yes. Cycling injuries such as knee pain and back stiffness fall within MSK physiotherapy, and Kieran will look at how the problem relates to your riding before building a plan with you.
How do returning patients pay?
Returning patients pay at the appointment, by cash or card. New patients pay a deposit when booking online, and that deposit is taken off the price of the first session.
Can the clinic help after a heart condition or surgery?
Kieran has experience in cardiac rehab and orthopaedics. At the first appointment he will assess where you are and discuss a sensible, gradual plan. Your hospital team's advice still comes first, so bring along any guidance they have given you.
How long is each appointment?
Every appointment is 45 minutes, spent one-to-one with Kieran.
