We are extremely fortunate to offer the famous Pip Sail and her super talented Physiotherapy team.
The general aim for our Physiotherapy team is to improve a client’s movement and function, to reduce their pain and to also attempt to prevent a recurrence.
Here at Physio Fix our Physiotherapists have a reputation of resolving people’s injuries when others have not been able to. We believe that people come to us for our accurate assessment, our honesty, and our successful treatment outcomes.
