We are super proud to announce that our Founder, Simon Carley-Smith, after 9 years of being at the forefront of Climbing Physio in the South West, has accepted the position of Team GB Climbing Physio!
He will be supporting GB’s elite climbers on their road to the LA 2028 Olympics!
This is a lifelong ambition for Simon and we wish him the very best of luck!
It’s so cool to have the acknowledgement that we are delivering world-class rehab here at Rise Physiotherapy.
