Thomas Fallon
Associate Physiotherapist
Thomas has worked part time for Physis Physiotherapy for some years and we have never been able to pin him down full time. He is heavily involved with professional cycling in Ireland as well as his PhD studies here in Edinburgh. When we do have him around the patients love is knowledge and enthusiasm. Although he joins Ola as our two ‘cycling’ physiotherapists he is great with all types of patients.
