Athletic Spine Process

The Athletic Spine Rehabilitation Journey

The Athletic Spine journey involves 3 stages, taking you from pain all the way to top performance and return to sport. At each stage sucess in key outcomes, tailored to you, will form the basis for advancement to the next stage.

Individualised Treatment

We recognise the importance of individualised physiotherapy treatment and that no two patients are alike. 

We use a biopsychosocial approach to achieve this, covering key physical, psychological and social components related to your back pain.
