Whether its detailed medical and physiotherapy services to support athletes’ individual performance and classification needs, or innovative projects seeing physiotherapy and performance analysis inform bespoke research and development for athlete braces to aid postural control and performance, UKSI services have grown alongside the sport informing the Boccia Performance Pathway and technical coaching.
