Our Story
Abloc physiotherapy was founded in 2019 by Nathan, with the desire of delivering elite-sport level physiotherapy to South Wales, for everyone.
Our mission is to improve your performance, health and wellbeing, whether you are an elite athlete or not. Over the past few years, we have expanded our team, with many coming from a high performance and elite sport background, adding their unique skills into the mix to make abloc physiotherapy aligned and perfomance-minded. Our team have a wealth of experience in elite sports, such as Rugby Union, Rugby League, Boxing, Football, Cycling, Triathlon as well as supporting major events such as the Commonwealth and Olympic Games.
Why ‘Abloc’?
The term ‘àbloc’ is a French phrase meaning ‘all-out’ that is used to describe an effort that is giving one’s maximum effort. It is commonly used in the context of cycling, where it is used to describe a rider pushing themselves to the absolute limit.
The term originated in the mid-1900s in France, and was first used to describe cyclists who were riding in the Grand Tours of Europe. The term was used to describe riders who were riding ‘all-out’ and pushing themselves to the absolute limit in order to win the race. This phrase has since spread to other parts of the world, and is now used to describe any athlete who is giving their maximum effort and has hit a wall, and unable to give more. Often resulting in stopping or a drop off in performance.
Why Choose Abloc
We want to change the perception of physiotherapy and give everyone the same level of detail and care that elite athletes have.
We are a performance-driven business and the methods we have used in elite sport we want to use these with our clients in South Wales.
