The clinic is honoured to have won a prestigious National Training Award in recognition for outstanding contribution and commitment to training, learning and development in the workplace.
The clinic won the awaard in the Providing Education and training category for our successful back class delivered to staff at a large Newcastle based company. The aim of the training was to achieve better working practices and postural awareness in the working environment and ultimately a reduction in injury incidence.
