About Paul Fitz-Patrick
My approach to care: I have a relaxed approach to therapy with a focus on understanding the underlying cause through in-depth assessment. In treating the presenting symptoms as well as the underlying cause, I am able to provide timely recovery and return to sport/function.
I have 2 young children who keep me active but I do enjoy good food and wine, and a movie with the kids. In my spare time I enjoy going for a jog and playing a round of golf with friends.
