About us - Matrix - Physiotherapy clinic in Manchester

About

Matrix is built on years of professional knowledge and experience working with elite sportspersons across football and UFC as well as the armed and emergency forces. We work relentlessly to give patients a bespoke and quality experience delivering high standards of service, environment and patient results. Currently there is a recurrent and flawed premise in the way the UK healthcare system is practising, using a ‘pain model’ approach to recovery, which is crude and reactive at best. Our aim is to address injuries using a ‘functional model,’ which is proactive in nature, assessing the way your body interacts with the world around you.

Fundamentally, study after study is showing a landslide of evidence towards our wellbeing being closely linked with our food, lifestyle and exercise habits. Collectively as clinicians we then have to understand nutrition, exercise prescription and lifestyle management in order to get the best out of our clients.
The Matrix team has been forged on these shared ideals of change, with a more multifaceted and welcoming approach in the way we tackle health issues. If you feel ready to make a change and take control of your life step inside the Matrix…
