A private physiotherapy practice based at the Aquatic Center Complex in Wildey, Barbados — founded by Marita Marshall in 2019 and built around a small, expert clinical team.
To improve the overall physical health, fitness and quality of life of all patients by treating and educating them with high quality individualised physiotherapy services.
To help people recover faster, perform better, and inspire healthy living.
POPS opened in November 2019 — the realisation of Marita's long-term goal of bringing a new, vibrant physiotherapy service to Barbados. Since then we have grown to a clinical team and added group programmes including AquaNatal and AquaAerobics, built around our work in the pool at the Aquatic Center Complex.
