Pete Tang BSc (Hons) MCSP
Chartered Physiotherapist and lead clinician
Pete qualified from Keele University in 1999 with First class honors in Physiotherapy studies. His career began working for the North Bristol NHS Trust where he specialized in the treatment of orthopaedic and musculoskeletal injuries. In late 2001 he took up post at the BUPA hospital Bristol where he was employed as a senior physiotherapist, later progressing to Physio team leader and ultimately Physiotherapy Manager.
In June 2004 Pete established himself as an independent private Physiotherapist working in a variety of settings including continued work for BUPA Hospitals (now Spire Hospital Bristol) and The Jonathan Webb Clinic. Pete set up The Physio Clinic at Riverside Leisure Club to provide expert assessment, treatment and rehabilitation to the local residential and business community and to meet the ever increasing demand for fast access, high quality physiotherapy.
Pete now works full time at The Physio Clinic, alongside other highly skilled Physiotherapists and Sports Massage Therapists. He still retains close working relationships with prominent orthopaedic consultants including the Sport and Orthopaedic Clinic, The Jonathan Webb Clinic and The Spire Hospital Bristol. His case load is varied from the assessment and treatment of elite, international sportsmen and women with sports injuries to the recreational gym user with back pain or the long standing sufferer of arthritis following a hip or knee joint replacement.
