About Us

Sports Injury & Rehabilitation Clinic operating since 2013

Back 2 Best Sports Injury and Rehabilitation Clinic have been operating since 2013. The business has been built solely on recommendations, where over this time, we have been very fortunate to receive many referrals from existing customers.

We are solely concerned with helping alleviate people’s pain and discomfort. Our approach is very much client focused and we pride ourselves on being able to assist our clients between and after appointments, should they require any further assistance. We always offer honest and specific advice, we will never sign clients up to long winded treatment plans and we are all about helping our clients quickly and efficiently return to activity as is safely possible.

Many of our clients choose to return to us long after they have recovered from their injury for maintenance based treatments and vital advice regarding future training load, which can really reduce the risk of suffering from injuries in the future.

ELLIOTT PATTISON

Sports Therapist

My name is Elliott and I’m a senior physiotherapist working at Basildon hospital and here at B2B. I graduated from the University of Hertfordshire with a first class honours degree in physiotherapy as well as a level 3 diploma in soft tissue therapy. I have experience in specialist areas such as cardiothoracic’s and musculoskeletal injury. I have been lucky enough to experience an array of clinical settings such as working on intensive care units to outpatient clinics. My passion lies in sport - particularly football and cricket, so if I’m not at work or in clinic with you lovely lot, that’s where you will find me!

Over the years, my passion for sport has inevitably led to one or two injuries myself. Having experienced the lows of injury and the sometimes long road to recovery, I realised the power that us clinicians hold to inspire and guide you back to doing what you love. One area that particularly interests me is pain and this is something I have studied extensively to ensure our patients receive the best service possible. Couple that with my general interest in sports and human anatomy and here I am!

The world of physiotherapy has so many avenues to explore which is why I work in a hospital full time to keep my skill set as sharp as possible. During the day I’m on the wards treating patients with a variety of neurological, respiratory and Musculoskeletal disorders and in the evenings I get to explore the mixed box of tricks that injury rehab presents. It’s the variety that keeps you on your toes and makes this line of work so interesting. Being part of our patients journey is something that I take particular pride in and there is nothing more rewarding than helping our clients recover back to full fitness.
