Physios to hold free consultations at Good Health Show

Back to listing

Published: 12 Feb 2003

The CSP will be at the Good Health Show. Feb 14 - 16, NEC Birmingham.

People who are keen to clear up their niggling aches and pains can take advantage of first class treatment and advice from leading UK physiotherapists at the Good Health Show in Birmingham later this week.

Show organisers, Pioneer Networks have invited the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP) back to the event following the huge success of the Society's Sports Injury Clinic at last year's show.

Chartered physiotherapists from the Sports and Spinal group of practices in Harley Street, Fulham and Surrey will staff the Sports Injury Clinic. Matt Todman, whose patients include premiership footballers and elite athletes, heads up the team and is looking forward to showing the public how physiotherapy can help themÖ

'A surprising number of people don't seek the correct treatment for sports injuries and can end up suffering unnecessarily for many months. We aim to help people realise that injuries, aches and pains are not something you have to live with.'

Matt's team will be on hand throughout the three-day exhibition to offer visitors free consultations, provide advice on suitable exercises and explain the easiest way to access physiotherapy if further treatment is necessary.

In addition to the Sports Injury Clinic, the CSP has a second stand at the show where chartered physiotherapists will offer exhibition goers free posture checks and advice on how to avoid injuries associated with activities such as office work, tidying the house and driving.
