Our story · Founded in Aberdare in 2012A clinic built around long-term health
Back2Front was founded by physiotherapist Chris Watts to bring treatment, rehabilitation and fitness together, so people don't just get out of pain but stay strong for life.
Our approach
We prescribe a pathway, not a one-off session
Too many people get treated, feel better for a while, and end up back where they started. We work differently: every patient is guided to the right next step, from physio to rehab to coached exercise and long-term support.
- Clinical expertise and coaching working from one plan
- Progressive, measurable training, not guesswork
- Accountability through 90-day reviews
- A welcoming studio for people who don't like gyms
