THE TEAM
With his strong work ethic and attention to detail Peter has built a team with a similar ethos to himself as he has expanded and developed the practice. The clinic has now grown into a multiple Physio practice supported with an expert Podiatrist and backed up with competent office staff.
At Belfast Sports and Spinal we work very much as a team as we know that sometimes 2 or 3 heads are better than 1 to give our patients the best care they require.

I would recommend Belfast Sports and Spinal to anyone! My back is so much better after just a few treatments. The staff are very welcoming and I’m glad to say I don’t need to come back but I wouldn’t mind if I did.
Recently Peter has added acupuncture to my physio sessions and i’ve found great pain relief from this, my shoulder feels brand new!
Above all, I have found Peter to be friendly, reliable, professional, competent and goes the extra mile in order to help me.
