Graduate Sports Therapist
We have London's first mobile 'Graduate Sports Therapist' as part of our expert team!
Kim: The reason I put 'graduate' in is because there are many people who claim to be sports therapists just because they have done a diploma! I'm so much more qualified!!

Why would you see a sports therapist rather than a physiotherapist?
Kim:
- A physiotherapist is more concerned with getting people back on their feet and functioning following illness, surgery, injury, whereas, as sports therapist will get people back to 'full functional fitness', meaning that they will take rehab that extra mile, and get the person back to their chosen sport, at least to the level they were at before injury. A physiotherapist CAN do this if they have specialised in sports physiotherapy, but will not have covered rehab in the same way.
- Sports therapists are able to do all the manual therapy techniques, massage, and electrotherapy.
