Peter Culliford, MCSP
Peter qualified from U.W.E. Bristol in 1999 with a 2:1 BSc (Hons) in Physiotherapy. Following qualifying he worked within the NHS in central Bristol hospitals and GP surgeries.
Then in 2000 with itchy feet and a determined mind he went to set up a Physiotherapy service in Lady Willingdon hospital, Manali in the Indian Himalayas for 9 months. This is a service which we continue to support as a business.
On returning in 2002 Grange Physiotherapy was started, moving to Cannons Health Club in the Summer of 2004.
The majority of Peter’s clinical experience is treating office injuries, sports injuries, and back/neck pain. He continues his professional development with regular post graduate courses, as well as working hard to develop a balanced and highly skilled team within our business.
Prior to being a Physiotherapist he spent prolonged time in the Himalayas on sponsored expeditions, but his passion now is his family. He is married and has six lovely children which keep him busy outside of work.
I very much enjoy the work as a Physiotherapist, and as a team we aim to do the maximum possible for our clients in increasing their performance and aiding the resolution of their injuries
