Meet the team at Richmond Physiotherapy
At Richmond Physiotherapy we ensure our team is striving towards the best possible outcomes for our patients, while having fun and remaining challenged. We strongly encourage post-graduate education and consequently identify staff goals in this area and provide assistance where possible.
With regular in-service meetings and access to the combined experience of the principals, new staff are encouraged to extend their knowledge and experience. We have an extensive electronic library of the latest scientific articles available within our network and to download for interested patients.
We are a physically active bunch and have a history of regularly combining for social events and activities.
