The Kent Sport Physiotherapy Clinic is offering free 20 minute initial online or telephone consultations with Vicky Annis, lead physiotherapist. Consultations are open to all, whether you have used the clinic previously or not; and whether you are a student or staff member at the University of Kent or from the wider community.

Online consultations are offered on a first come first served basis available to all by prior arrangement. To book, please email: physio@kent.ac.uk.

“The online physio appointments with Vicky have been so helpful and beneficial. She was able to apply her skills and knowledge about physiotherapy via a Zoom meeting during our consultation, and she provided me with a variety of exercises to work on during a two-week period after which we had a follow up appointment. Vicky is genuinely nice and caring and really helped me improve my running performance–I would not hesitate to contact her again!”

The clinic, situated at the University of Kent Sports Centre on the Canterbury campus, remains physically closed while following government coronavirus guidance. However, Vicky has a wealth of physiotherapy experience and expertise and is keen to continue to assist and support people during these challenging times.

“I am extremely excited to offer free online physiotherapy consultations. This will enable me to keep in touch with clients and is currently the closest opportunity to fulfil what I enjoy doing the most. Whether this time is used to simply touch base, update on where you are at or ask questions, I am more than happy to help.”

She recognises that the unusual circumstances that we find ourselves enduring may for some lead to increased stress, anxiety, discomfort or pain. Many people may be tolerating issues without knowing where to turn for help and advice during this time of social distancing and isolation. The clinic wants to continue to support your freedom, ease of movement and quality of life during this pandemic. You can hear more from Vicky about this announcement in this video.

“Dear Vicky, thanks so much for your advice with my back problem.  It never seemed fitting to go to a GP about it when I suspected what I needed was some guided instructions on the correct exercises.  The on-line consultation session gave me the fillip that I needed to take action as it was so simple to do. Even within a week I’m feeling the benefit. Thanks for your help and such a great initiative.”
