I am a Chartered Physiotherapist who qualified in 2023, with experience across NHS and private practice. Having worked in orthopaedics, musculoskeletal, neurology, paediatrics, and respiratory physiotherapy, I have developed a well-rounded understanding of rehabilitation across the lifespan.

My current focus is orthopaedic and musculoskeletal physiotherapy, with a strong interest in strength and conditioning and Pilates-based rehabilitation. I am passionate about helping people move better, reduce pain, recover from injury, and build long-term resilience through tailored, evidence-based treatment plans.

Pip qualified as a physiotherapist in 2021 and has gained a wide range of experience in musculoskeletal, neurological, respiratory and paediatric physiotherapy. She is currently working in both the NHS and private, and her keen interest in Pilates and yoga has recently lead her to complete her clinical Pilates qualification.

Chris has over 20 years of experience treating musculoskeletal conditions and injuries. He has been working as an advanced practice physiotherapist since 2012.

Chris has been based at the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital in Birmingham since 2014 where he works in spinal surgical clinics and in physiotherapy led back pain clinics. He is also a  first contact practitioner working at a GP practice in Birmingham treating patients with musculoskeletal conditions and injuries.

He is trained in spinal and peripheral injections and is an independent prescriber. He has extensive training and experience ordering and interpreting investigations such as X-rays, MRIs and Ultrasound scans.

I’ve been teaching Pilates since 2018 and love creating welcoming, supportive classes where everyone feels capable and encouraged. I teach both Reformer and Mat Pilates, and my focus is always on helping people build strength, confidence, and ease in their movement. I first started Pilates to help with my own back issues, and experiencing how transformative it was inspires me to help others feel stronger, more comfortable, and more connected in their bodies.
