Phil Pask
MSc BA MCSP
Chartered Physiotherapist
Phil is one of the world’s best Physiotherapists at rehabilitation and the treatment of acute and chronic musculoskeletal injuries. This is not something we say lightly because the reputation of the clinic is based upon having some of the best clinicians. However, Phil’s experience, knowledge base, and skill set is far-reaching and he is considered by the profession as one of the world’s most accomplished rehabilitators. 30 years of treating rugby injuries in top-end players have given him the ability to rehabilitate some of the nastiest and most severe injuries back to elite play. This skill set translates exceptionally well to the rest of us and those of us who might suffer such issues ourselves will always want to have Phil as our physio.
Motivation and exercise progression, as well as robust hands-on therapy, are the cornerstones of Phil’s practice. He is best at treating severe injuries such as anterior cruciate injuries and fractured legs. He has been instrumental in returning some of our top rugby players to the field over many years. However, he maintains a good balance in his practice seeing a number of ‘oldies’ with more long-term arthritic issues.
