Physiotherapy

We provide onsite specialist physiotherapy services for a range of needs to all education settings.




What do physiotherapists do?

Physiotherapists identify and address needs related to muscles, joints, bones and circulation to maximise an individual’s physical potential.

Chartered physiotherapists combine their knowledge and skills to identify an individual patient's functioning needs and improve a broad range of physical problems associated with different systems of the body. … Physiotherapists are not only there to solve problems - they are also there to help prevent them from arising in the first place…. A physiotherapist can help you find the best way to use your body to maximise your strengths, eliminate bad habits and put minimal strain on weaker areas, to help you enjoy a more full and healthy life.
