Rugby star praises physiotherapy services

Wednesday 11th March 2009

A former ruby union international has praised the care he received from a UK medical centre.

Ex-England scum half Austin Healey was treated on numerous occasions at Stretton's Spire hospital.

According to the sporting great, he received care there around 200 times during his career playing rugby.

He said: "Over the years playing international rugby I had my wisdom teeth and jaw realigned, my left shoulder and knee reconstructed, a torn Achilles and micro fracture fixed, my toes sewn back together [and] several dozen physiotherapy sessions."

Healy added that the fact that he still has considerable mobility is testament to the quality of the treatment he received while at the medical centre.

Recently, the Footsteps Foundation revealed that it had raised more than £50,000 as part of an ongoing initiative to help the families of people suffering from cerebral palsy and brain damage to pay for physiotherapy, the Herald Series reported.
