So we’ve had an interesting week here at Physiokinetic! 

We started the week with a Royal visit on Monday. The Princess Royal met Physiokinetic staff and some scholar athletes when she attended the site to officially open the Sport & Fitness Club. 

Having discussed with the Queen’s daughter to some of the services we offer, I thought it would be a good opportunity to remind everyone of the diversity of skills we have to offer. 

Physiokinetic we provide physiotherapy services to over 20 different sports at the University of Birmingham. Additionally, we are the regional provider of physiotherapy to the Talented Athlete Scholarship Scheme (TASS) which provides support to talented athletes aged 16 and over in over 30 sports. 

Alongside this we also work in collaboration with Birmingham Children’s Hospital to provide physiotherapy assessment and rehabilitation services to children in the region. Our input supports children at a range of levels from accessing school PE, grass roots football and international para-skiing. 

At Physiokinetic we understand the mindsets of patients and athletes of all levels. We understand the time sensitive nature of injuries and the needs of patients. As such we have developed a Sports Medicine Clinic that runs fortnightly on site to provide assessment for all our University Scholars, TASS athletes and patients. The service is headed up by Dr Kim Gregory. Dr Kim Gregory is the Chief Medical Officer for GB Para-Olympic Team at the Winter Olympics this year. 

For those patients that don’t require sports medicine review we have worked hard to develop strong links with Orthopaedic Specialists in the area and have excellent knowledge of local services should patients need onward referral.  This is through both NHS and Private pathways and as such we can support all patients with their needs.

I hope this has provided some insight into the range of expertise and services we have here at Physiokinetic! 

Have a great weekend
