OUTLOOK FOR 2011 AND OPENING OF NEW CLINIC

2010 was an eventful year for everyone in this time of economic depression. Despite that, we had a good year. We set up a new clinic with The Portobello Clinic in Notting Hill and opened the Performance Centre in Farringdon to offer more end stage rehabilitation for our patients in the City. Central Health Physiotherapy is now fully owned by Natasha Price and our focus is 100% on the delivery of top quality Physiotherapy. Alongside our musculoskeletal service, we are unique in that we offer specialists in all areas of physiotherapy including women’s health, respiratory, paediatrics, neuro, vestibular rehabilitation, ergonomics and hypermobility.

2011 brings new opportunities for us and a new clinic opens in Chelsea. This is at the Royal Hospital Chelsea; we will be offering hydrotherapy as well as regular musculoskeletal physiotherapy. We are very excited about working with The Royal Hospital; being able to offer hydrotherapy to our clients will be an added, exciting asset to our current offerings.

We wish you all a prosperous new year and look forward to working with you in 2011.

“The programme made me generally better. It was very useful for my mobility and balance.” (name not provided)
