A physiotherapy business in Dorset has signed a deal which will see it provide treatment for players with Vanarama National League side Weymouth Football Club.
Bridge Health and Wellbeing has become an official sponsor of the semi-professional club, which play in the fifth tier of the English football pyramid.
The family-run clinic offers physiotherapy, chiropractic, sports massage and rehabilitation services, as well Pilates, yoga and Qigong classes, from its space on Bridge Street in Christchurch.
The deal will see the business become a health and wellbeing partner at the club, with pitchside advertising hoarding promoting the practice during the team’s home matches at the 6,600 capacity Bob Lucas Stadium.
Paul O’Connell, lead physiotherapist and co-founder of Bridge Health and Wellbeing, said the company was “delighted” to be working with Weymouth FC and the company had already treated several of their players for football-related injuries.

“Knowing we have the added help and expertise from Bridge Health and Wellbeing will give us the reassurance we need to protect our players.”
