Hear From Our Team

From Karen, Physiotherapist: “I’ve only been at TBI for a short time, but so far have been really impressed with how welcoming everyone is. I love working in a small, local clinic, but it’s reassuring to have the resources and experience of a nationwide company behind you. The support from TBI is great, and there’s plenty of opportunities for further training. My small team is lovely and friendly, and they’ve helped me to feel settled really quickly. I’m looking forward to expanding my skills as a therapist in some new areas with TBI behind me.”
