Our Goals
Here at Sport and Spinal Physiotherapy our team of experienced physiotherapists aim to provide the highest quality of treatment to patients of all ability levels in order to enhance and improve the rehabilitation process. In order to achieve this we provide our patients with physiotherapy which is patient centered and specific to their level of ability. As a result when deciding on physiotherapy interventions, the patient will be encouraged to discuss their short and long term goals for rehabilitation with their physiotherapist. These goals become the central focus of a patient's programme of physiotherapy treatment. Since every patient has different symptoms and goals, the treatment approach chosen by our physiotherapist varies from person to person. Therefore at Sport and Spinal Physiotherapy our physiotherapists use an extensive range of physiotherapy interventions in order to provide our patients with the best possible treatment in order to maximise their potential.
