Kent Sports Clinic Update

The Kent Sports Clinic is currently undergoing some changes to the physiotherapy service. Physiotherapy appointments will be available with our new clinical team from Monday 30 March 2026. 

If you have any queries, please contact SportsClinic@kent.ac.uk.

Our experienced physiotherapists provide hands-on, evidence-based treatment for sports injuries, back pain, neck pain, and musculoskeletal conditions in Canterbury and the surrounding areas.

At your initial physiotherapy appointment in, we carry out a thorough one-to-one assessment to diagnose your injury, understand your goals, and create a personalised treatment plan. Treatment may include manual therapy, sports massage, rehabilitation exercises, posture and movement advice, and progressive strength training to reduce pain, restore mobility, and help you return to full fitness.
