PRACTITIONERS THAT SPECIALISE IN SPORTS THERAPY

What's special About our Sports Therapists?

All our Sports Therapists have completed an approved University Programme and belong to the Society of Sports Therapists – the lead organisation for Sports Therapists in the UK.

What is Sports Therapy?

Our Sports Therapists are capable of assessing MSK problems on their own and are also a big support to our Physiotherapists helping out with providing treatments from hands-on work to hydrotherapy, shockwave therapy and rehabilitation.

They are specialists in working within sports and have great ability to enhance performance and support and treat athletes, both professional and recreational, to return to their sports following injuries.

Further information on what sports therapy is can be found at The Society of Sports Therapists.
