Your Trusted Chartered Physiotherapy Clinic in Hackney
Physio-Health is a private physiotherapy clinic located in the heart of Hackney, established in 2009. As a Chartered Physiotherapist with over two decades of experience, I specialise in treating neuro-musculoskeletal dysfunctions, including back pain, sports injuries, and post-surgical rehabilitation. My practice combines evidence-informed techniques with advanced clinical expertise, utilising validated diagnostic methods and rehabilitation equipment. I hold a BSc and MSc in Neuro-Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy, and my career includes roles at Homerton University Hospital and the London Independent Hospital, where I lead outpatient services. My approach prioritises comprehensive assessments, patient education, and tailored treatment plans to address both symptoms and underlying causes.

I maintain professional registration with the Health Professions Council and the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy, ensuring adherence to rigorous clinical standards. My research on shoulder girdle muscle activation, published during my MSc, informs my specialist focus on biomechanics and sports rehabilitation. I have treated patients from amateur athletes to professional sports teams, with a particular emphasis on post-operative recovery and chronic pain management. My clinic operates from Cordwainer House, offering ergonomic assessments, shockwave therapy, and biomechanical analysis using video technology. I am committed to continuous professional development, integrating the latest clinical research to deliver high-quality, patient-centred care.
