Introduction to Physio Clinics on Tuesday's and Thursday's

For the 2008/09 season Derby RFC has two new Physio's they are Jennifer Knibbs and Abi Brandon-White.

As in previous seasons the club will be providing physio appointments at the club on Tuesday and Thursday evenings during the season. Tuesday sessions will generally be handled by Abi Brandon-White, Thursday sessions by Jen Knibbs. 8 appointments are available on each day  from 6pm to 8pm, with each one being of 15 minute duration.

The appointments are for use by the whole club (for paid up members) but, for obvious reasons, 1st team squad players will have priority. The major change to the operation of the clinics this year will be that bookings should, wherever possible, be made via the internet. This is to ease the burden on Abi and Jen in taking and returning calls and texts during the day when they are probably seeing other patients. Please use this method of booking wherever possible. If you really do not have access to the internet then you can call Abi or Jen to make your appointment.

To use the Physio Appointment Booking System please select the Physio Appointments button in the left hand navigation menu of this page. Instructions on how to use the Booking system including how to register can be found in the Booking System Help page.
