The Athlete Lab Physio Clinic

The Athlete Lab is a boutique practice. Our philosophies are built around working closely with our patients to reach their goals. Whether that is running in an ultra marathon at peak fitness or simply living a pain free life. The Athlete Lab is about helping you to become your version of athletic, fit and healthy.

We are not a physio chain. We offer tailored programs which are designed specifically for you. At the Athlete Lab you are not just a number and we are committed to seeing you not only recover but maintain your health and well-being. This bespoke approach to Physiotherapy moves away from the traditional one-size fits all mentality.
