<\/p>\nPhysiotherapists at a Crewe and Nantwich firm are celebrating 25 years at the forefront of health and wellbeing provision to clients across the region.<\/p>\n
Founded in 1994, CTC Healthcare has grown from a one man physiotherapy clinic based in a GP surgery in Crewe to a large operation with five clinics
\nproviding physiotherapy, acupuncture, sports massage, complementary and holistic therapies.<\/p>\n
A team of 15 Chartered and Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) registered physiotherapists now work from clinics in Crewe, Nantwich, Congleton, Stoke and Stafford.<\/p>\n
Over the years the company has also grown into a major provider of health screening and injury prevention services to businesses up and down the country.<\/p>\n
Specialists work with employees to boost their health and wellbeing and save companies time and money lost in sickness absence.<\/p>\n
Founder Rick Carter has worked as a physiotherapist in the Premier league at Nottingham Forest , West Bromwich Albion, Chelsea and Manchester United as well as for local sides Crewe Alexandra, Stoke City and Port Vale.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He said: “Our company strapline remains ‘making you feel better’ and over the years we have seen a welcome shift in how people look after themselves especially in the workplace.<\/p>\n
“We have encouraged a more holistic approach -caring for the whole person – mind, body and soul.<\/p>\n
“Prevention is very much regarded ‘better than cure’ and companies that we work with see the benefits of supporting the mental and physical wellbeing of employees.<\/p>\n
“Injury prevention, screening and resilience programmes are built into HR strategies designed to prevent sickness absence and support staff morale.<\/p>\n
“The bottom line is fit, happy and healthy staff are more productive and engaged.”<\/p>\n
Workforces benefit from health screening and lifestyle advice and as First Aid providers, accredited by Qualsafe, ctchealthcare runs courses to pass on life-saving skills to people from all walks of life.<\/p>\n
Mr Carter, a specialist in sport and soft tissues injuries, is also one of few private practitioners in the country qualified to prescribe medication.<\/p>\n
He added: “It’s been a long journey but we are proud to be regarded as a UK leader in the field of injury prevention in business, sport and the local community.”<\/p>\n
Physios and admin staff will celebrate the 25 years milestone with a party at Residence in Nantwich.<\/p>\n
