Process Physiotherapy Preston

About

Process Physiotherapy Preston delivers expert care designed specifically for climbers. Founded by Andy McVittie, the service takes a hands-on, collaborative approach to help you overcome injury and improve performance. With over 30 years of climbing experience, 20 years as a coach, and several years as a full-time physiotherapist, Andy understands both the physical and emotional demands of the sport.

Rather than advising total rest, Andy encourages climbers to stay active in a safe, structured way. This method not only preserves strength and mobility but also supports mental and social wellbeing. He believes that continued engagement with your sport speeds up the recovery process and reduces deconditioning.

Andy focuses on complete recovery—not just pain management. His passion lies in mid to late-stage rehabilitation, which is often overlooked. By targeting this phase, he ensures climbers return stronger, more resilient, and better equipped to handle future physical challenges.

Services

Process Physiotherapy offers a comprehensive set of climbing-specific treatments and coaching services. Each plan is tailored to your goals, needs, and training habits. Services include:

• Climbing Injury Assessment – Accurate, sport-specific evaluations designed to get to the root of your issue quickly.

• Rehabilitation with Activity – Programmes that keep you moving safely and help you avoid long periods of inactivity.
