My Story

Chris Trickett

PGcert (clinical rehabilitation), BPhty (merit), BSc (Upper second-class honours)

I began my Physiotherapy career in 2009 in a hospital setting. Here I established a strong foundation in physical health management by working across various areas, including acute medical and orthopedic wards, as well as inpatient Neuro rehabilitation. By 2013, I had found my niche in the musculoskeletal field. I now enjoy working within the outpatient sector with clients from all ages, backgrounds and with varying goals.

I also have a unique understanding and approach to Physiotherapy having been on the other side of the health professional/patient relationship. In 2010 I was diagnosed with cervical dystonia. This is a neurological condition that results in overactive neck muscles which can lead to altered postures and functional limitations, hence my slogan ‘rehab with a twist.’  There have been lots of treatments, specialists and therapies along the way for the management of this condition. These experiences have shaped my practice, guiding me to approach each patient with empathy and a strong commitment to achieving the best possible outcomes.

During my career, I have also gained further qualifications to complement my approach to Physiotherapy. This includes a postgraduate certificate in clinical rehabilitation, a diploma in sports massage, and certification in being able to treat vestibular system issues and deliver Mulligan techniques.

My aim is for every client to leave a Physiotherapy session knowing they have been heard and feeling confident in their recovery journey. This can be by gaining an understanding of the issues at hand, pain management, or physical strength and reassurance. I am fully invested in providing dedicated health care.
