Why did Stathis become a physiotherapist?

Stathis has a strong passion for helping people in any way possible and to assist them in achieving their goals, whether that’s to become pain free or to run a marathon.

Stathis' treatment style

Stathis has a strong focus on injury rehabilitation and pain management. Stathis aims to equip his patients with the knowledge and skills to partake in their own management and prevention of injury. He is well versed in manual therapy techniques involving muscle release and mobilisation techniques to help relieve your pain and move better.
