ABOUT

Our Philosophy

Evinci is from the latin word to overcome. Our aim is to empower you to overcome and move beyond your pain or injury. We believe that the key to moving beyond pain or injury is you. It is our goal to provide you with a comprehensive plan that sees you work your way to recovery.

We want to hear your story, experiences and listen to your concerns as we work together to achieve the recovery you want. We see our role as a coach and consultant, not the main player in your recovery. We provide the expertise and guidance that you need.

Our philosophy is shaped by the current scientific evidence and research in sports and musculoskeletal pain or injury. This model is founded on two key principles:

Your body will adapt to the physical loads and activity demands placed on it when given optimal conditions to do so

Our past and present experiences shape our attitudes, beliefs and experiences of injury, pain and health

Our approach aims to provide you with the best possible care and honest advice. We believe our role is to help you understand the often complex way in which our body works, allowing you to make your own informed treatment choices.
