With over 30 years of experience as a physiotherapist in both Australia and the UK, and seeing a growing need for people to receive high-quality rehabilitation in their own homes following injury, surgery or periods of reduced mobility, I began the journey of Physit in 2014.
Physit was founded on my belief that quality healthcare is about much more than clinical expertise. It is also about the standard of service, personal attention and human connection that patients experience throughout their care. I have always believed in a hands-on, personalised approach to physiotherapy, and treating clients in their own environment allows us to understand not only their individual needs, but also the surroundings, circumstances and challenges that can influence their recovery.
Treatment is a journey, and successful rehabilitation involves much more than the professional skills required to diagnose and treat an injury. It requires understanding, encouragement and ongoing support. I have always believed that the best outcomes are achieved when we stand alongside our clients every step of the way, providing the expertise, reassurance and support they need to regain their independence and return to their full potential.
That philosophy remains at the heart of Physit today.

WHERE?
Your London physiotherapist will be able to diagnose and treat your injury whether you are at work, hotel, home or on the sporting field.
WE IDENTIFY THE ISSUE
The musculoskeletal system comprises of bones, cartilage, ligaments, tendons, nerves, muscles and blood supply. Any one or all of these tissues can be damaged during an injury. First of all, your physio will conduct a thorough assessment to determine the extent of your injury. We will then help you to understand your injury and explore the best possible treatment of rehabilitation choices.
WE TAILOR TREATMENT
We use a variety of techniques to optimize healing for your injury. These include “hands-on” treatment such as massage, joint mobilization and manipulation. Your physiotherapist may also use acupuncture for the treatment of your pain and spasm. For patients suffering from patellofemoral pain, we use taping to enable better mechanical facilitation of muscles for performance.
With permission, your physiotherapist will photograph you and provide you with a programme of exercises all geared towards optimising your recovery.
QUALITY
Our team keep up with the latest research and protocols with regular CPD and team meetings to ensure our clients are getting the best support they need. We also educate and communicate wherever possible to family members, carers and other health professionals involved with our client’s clinical pathway.
